What It’s Like to Work Together

We design with our clients, not for them.

The process is collaborative, thoughtful, and intentionally personal. Each project is shaped through shared decisions, careful listening, and the willingness to challenge assumptions—ours and our clients’—in service of a better result.

The homes that come from that process are not just well designed. They feel considered, personal, and rooted in the way life is actually lived.

Rather than describe the experience ourselves, these reflections come from the people who have lived through it.

What Our Clients Say

Janice Smolka,
Haddon Heights, NJ

Artfully Done
Residential Renovation & Design

"Best decision I ever made was calling Jay for my home renovation. I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted to do with my home but Jay saw possibilities that I never imagined. He’s extraordinarily perceptive on what the client is trying to achieve and expresses this in design so beautifully. Jay was with me every step of the way. Through the process, design and into construction, we went from amazingly good to spectacular. This is one talented architect."

Kevin Roche, South Jersey

Historic Victorian Restoration

"Jay Reinert is not only an amazing architect, he is an amazing person. We hired Jay to restore and renovate our 1890 Victorian. He was completely enthusiastic and understanding of our goals to respect and honor the history of the home... an amazing master suite we would NEVER have come up with on our own!"

Jessica Schiavi,
Haddon Township, NJ

Major Renovation & Addition

"We worked with Jay on a major renovation and addition and we are very, very happy with the results. He came up with great ideas like extending the porch to a huge wrap around porch that now adds so much character to the house. He somehow made an attic office, bright, airy and roomy... He knows the local area and helped guide us."

Sarah Weaver, Mullica Hill, NJ

Contemporary Additions & Alterations

"Working with Jay was a fantastic experience start-to-finish. We hired Jay after seeing the amazing results of the design he created for my parents’ home. His past work as a builder plus his natural eye for creativity are a unique combination... give him a huge advantage over a traditional architect."
