I hired Jorge for the recent remodeling of a brownstone in West Village and the entire process was a pleasure! His team is professional, responsive, knowledgeable about requirements/codes, and they provided design options and drawings promptly. Jorge himself is very easy to talk to and he has a great eye for detail and design.

Jorge is a very knowledgeable, patient and sharp architect who is passionate about his craft. I've consulted Jorge for advice on prospective residential projects and he has always responded quickly, thoughtfully and honestly. Jorge writes a blog discussing architecture, development and NYC DOB workings, which demonstrates his seriousness and dedication to helping people. If you're considering taking on a real estate project, you should definitely give Fontan Architecture a call!

Amazing! Jorge was immensely helpful during our project of establishing a partition wall in my living room. These projects are always daunting because there are so many steps involved (DOB approval, condo approval, responding to comments by the DOB/condo, sketching plans for the projects, etc.). Jorge and his team was very responsive and fast and helped ensure the process was smooth and totally stress free. The end project is absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. SO WOULD HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Jorge and his whole team (even the intern was great).
