Noah did a great job for us when we were in a bind. We had an electrical fire in our finished attic two weeks after moving into a 1910 row house on Capitol Hill. It was a finished office space about 20' by 20' in which I ran my business. The damage was not great, but the room needed to be gutted. Noah got a crew to push the project forward, negotiated with my insurance company and got the job finished in less than 6 weeks. It's beautiful now, and people frequently say, "This is the nicest room in the house." I really appreciate the work and the expediency in which it was done.

" We knew that adding space to a 1933 Tudor would be no easy task.But you managed to give us truly innovative solutions within a scrupulously appropriate architectural elaboration.Finding a quarry to match our home's 80-year-old Potomac River Stone was a particular coup.Ditto, installing state-of-the-art radiant floors in an old and tradition-bound structure. In the end,we got the best of both world's understated elegance and modern functionality, so thanks for that."

"In converting our classic Victorian from two apartment units to a more useful and appealing variation of its origins you showed us a great deal about the convergence modern engineering practice and thoughtful architecture.The large bay window in front is so seamless,our neighbors of 20 years think it has been there all along.Every period detail is beautifully conceived and executed.Obviously,you know the Hill well."

"We had been told that both our basement and attic were unusable as living space,so your practical,aesthetically pleasing solutions are just wizardly.We now have a full bath,two finished bedrooms with closets and a living room in our former attic.Our lower level boasts a spacious family entertainment area,a new powder room,a laundry room and— ample storage space.Since all this happened inside the existing walls,we got a substantial increase in usable space without incurring the 30% to 40% more an addition might have cost.A great return for our investment."

"I enjoyed working with Ark, and particularly appreciate the results: a unique home that incorporates contemporary design while preserving the major elements of a traditional DC row house. The transformation from a boxy closed-off space to an airy, light filled home is simply amazing."
