We hired Michael Simpson from SOME Architects when we decided to build our home. He was a pleasure to work with, always listened, and taught me a lot along the way. We love our home and would hire him again for any future projects!

Mike Simpson provided excellent service and developed a fine plan for my home renovations and addition. He promptly responded to my questions and comments and constantly adjusted the plan as things went along. He, as well as his partner Ed, were always courteous and friendly and I in turn always felt respected. Their pricing was fair, especially for the quality of the work. Mike was always open and honest, and never aloof or distant in any way. He has a great sense of humor which is important to me in working with some one - if they can't laugh at my jokes then I can't work with them. I can't recommend the firm more strongly. Scott M.

I could not recommend S.O.M.E. Architects more. They came up with the perfect front portico design for our colonial in Little Silver and executed the project from beginning to end with consummate professionalism. They also handled assisting us with our variances and then bidding out the work and managing it so that we did not have to worry about a thing. We are so proud of the S.O.M.E. Architects transformation of the front of our house!

We had both architectural and design services with S.O.M.E. Both phases of the project went smoothly, and the end results were excellent. Staff was accessible, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Would recommend without hesitation.

My husband and I worked with SOME for quite some time, designing our dream home. They were in it every step of the way from start to finish. They were our eyes and ears during the construction; being that we lived out of town at the time. We felt they treated this project as their own. We provided them with our visions and ideas and they brought it to life. The entire time was extremely friendly and helpful although we worked mostly with Mike and Lindsay. It was a pleasure working with them. Since our house was built we have received more compliments than I can count.

I have worked with SOME Architects on 2 large projects. The first was a large master bedroom suite with basement that was designed and built 15 years ago. That project produced an oversized bedroom with cathedral ceiling and fireplace, 2 enormous walk in closets, a spa bathroom with whirlpool, 2 person steam shower, double sink, and bidet. It also included a finished basement playroom, a great bonus as the original house sits on a slab. From start to finish the project went smoothly and I would not change a thing even though this addition was designed and built 15 years ago. It is timeless in its design and execution. Last year when I decided to totally redo my kitchen/family room I called SOME immediately to get the project underway. The entire room was redesigned, demo'd, and every window and door was moved or replaced. I had 2 supporting beams removed and the ceiling needed additional structural support. Even though this project was scary the staff at SOME held my hand the entire time. The result is spectacular! There are so many excellent things I can say about SOME -- and not one negative! Ed and his entire staff listen when you speak, and are there at all times. Their aesthetic is stellar and they make your dreams come true. They know what can be done and how it should be done. When there was a difference of opinion there was always dialogue and everything was clearly explained. All aspects of the project -- from initial consult to final town reviews went seamlessly. Every recommedation, from contractor selection to light switch selection was great. I love the entire staff at SOME and will absolutely call on them again (yes they know!) for any additional changes to my home. They are professional, absolutely great designers -- willing to show you their ideas and very open to the homeowners wishes, understanding of schedules, budgets, etc. They are simply the best! (and I miss them!)

This project was to design and install a new kitchen and powder room and to serve as the general contractor for same. This included drawings, assistance in selecting the cabinets, countertops, flooring, doors, and windows. The work was completed on time and the workmanship was excellent, truly an outstanding outcome. In addition, S.O.M.E. Architects coordinated other projects such as removal of asbestos, removal of an old, unused oil tank buried under the driveway, and installation of a clean-out pipe to prevent costs for water pipe repair from the street to the house. Workmanship was excellent and costs were kept low. The house was in perfect condition when it went on the market and it sold in just 5 days which in the 2012 housing market was amazingly fast. I attribute the quick sale to the beautiful work designed and completed by S.O.M.E. Architects.

SOME Provided full architectural services in building a 16,000 sq foot water front home, located on a steep slope. Understood its clients design goals and was able to meet with the unusual engineering challenges that was inherent in the project. Had a full understanding of the state-of-the-art technologies incorporated in the project. Easy people to deal with.

S.O.M.E. consulted on complete kitchen overhaul... project would not have been nearly as successful without their input. Look forward to collaborating more in the future.

Ed O'Neill of S.O.M.E. Architects has designed TWO absolutely unique and beautiful designs for me- Working with them has been a pleasure -they are professional, prompt, creative, responsive, and original. ONE- Ed O'Neill agreed to participate in a particularly challenging pro bono project for my charity- a design for the construction of a Maternity Ward in Sierra Leone, West Africa. This Maternity Ward is 7500 square feet, with 32 beds, 2 operating rooms, pre and post op areas, triage and observation rooms, and labor and delivery rooms. This design required an incredible amount of flexibility and creativity as there is no running water, no paved roads, no electricity, and limited building materials Sierra Leone. Ed met these particular challenges and the result was a beautiful flowing design matched exactly to fill the needs despite the limitations imposed. TWO- Ed O'Neill designed the plans for a kitchen/ dining room, deck addition with raised wooden ceiling (lodge like) for my home. From beginning to end S.O.M.E. Architects made this very big project feel like a breeze. They were prompt in presenting us with a bid and contracts They were fair in price;They held my hand through all of the zoning, permits, variances, and engineering requirements that my town demands for any project. They listened to our desires and ideas and incorporated all of this into a very unique cohesive beautiful wonderful space that still is my favorite place in my house. Everyone that visits my house raves about its warmth, uniqueness, and beauty. It has a real WOW factor. I have nothing but admiration, respect, and thanks for the wonderful work of Ed O'Neill and S.O.M.E. Architects and would recommend them without reservation to all.

The services provided included providing plans for the renovation of our 1932 Craftsman Home. We had weekly office design meetings and on site meetings to develop plans to suit the home and the neighborhood. SOME Architects had knowledge and resources regarding Craftsman homes and also took into account our specific needs. SOME Architects assisted in the selection of choosing a reputable builder, arranged meetings for us to interview local contractors. Once we selected a contractor, and the plans were completed and approved by the town we kept SOME Architects involved in a supervisory position. SOME Architect also is also a great resource for local businesses necessary for the many design elements and professionals There were many times that we had questions and concerns that the professional expertise if SOME Architects was needed. Our best advice to potential clients would be to keep SOME Architects involved until the project is completed. We love our home and we receive lots of compliments from family, friends, neighbors, and people passing by when we are outside in our garden.
