 Building our new home was easy when we had Terri Cummings to work with as our architect.  Her design was not only creative but her utilization of space was incredible.  She listened well and implemented our requests. The end result is fantastic. Our home is our castle! Thanks, Terri, for all your hard work.    Billie and Marc Stein 


 

“Terri’s attention to detail, her willingness to hear out new ideas, and her offer to expand our horizons with added design features, was, in no small terms, exceptional.”

 Terri had the vision for the design and renovation of our home in Margate, New Jersey.  Her expertise in utilizing every square inch of interior space was amazing.  The square footage of our home did not change, yet the interior living space is more functional, open and one that supports our lifestyle down the shore.  Terri’s attention to detail on both the interior and exterior of our home demonstrates her creativity and expertise as an architect.  She considered our ideas and suggestions in her design, working together to achieve a house we can call home.  Terri was a delight to work with and we would proudly recommend her to create the home of your dreams.”John and Paula Mervin

As your design became a reality we were often struck by how the details of your design, both big and small, contributed to how warm and open the house turned out to be. We are happy to recommend your services to anyone.”

Sincerely,
George and Ellie Leupold
