A. Ginsburg Architects specializes in architectural design services for new homes, renovations and additions in Vermont and beyond. Excellence in design grows from collaboration: a client setting the goals and budget, an architect listening carefully, the two working together to transform a vision into a beautiful, livable reality.
Services
I have built my practice on a combination of rigorous training, broad experience in the practical arts and crafts of construction, and careful attention to both the concrete goals and the creative dreams of my clients. My childhood love of drawing and building grew into a degree in history and architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, and then to a Master's degree in Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence.
Whether you are considering buying a piece of property and want a professional opinion before making the purchase, or want someone to oversee the construction of your project, I provide these services and everything in between. The purchase of a piece of property is one of the most critical decisions an owner will make in insuring the overall success of their project.
Thank you so very much. One neighbor told us the new porch is "the most architecturally perfect addition" she has ever seen. Others comment that the addition doesn't look like an "addition". We had a wonderful experience working with Adam. He found a creative solution to our problem of siting a house on a quirky footprint, and he responded creatively and cheerfully to our evolving ideas of what we wanted and needed.

REDESIGN/RENOVATION OF VERY OLD FARMHOUSE
Choosing to preserve and improve a very old house rather than just starting over presents owners with an unrelenting stream of hard choices weighing what is gained versus what is lost. We hired architect Adam Ginsburg as we began to navigate these decisions because we wanted to achieve a balance between preserving and improving an old farmhouse in Hinesburg, Vermont, with a foundation stone dating to almost 200 years ago. This decision proved to be one of our best. Not only is Adam an excellent architect, he is also a good listener and a wise counselor

It was a joy to work with Adam and A. Ginsburg Architects for our renovation and addition. From the beginning, Adam makes you feel comfortable with his process. His patience and communication add to the overall experience and puts you at ease that you are working with someone who knows their craft. We were dealing with a firm budget and Adam's knowledge, along with our builder, helped us reel in some of our "wants" but still come up with a design that encompassed all of our "needs". We highly recommend Adam and A Ginsburg Architects!

After deciding to incorporate a new addition onto our existing home we contacted Adam Ginsburg of A. Ginsburg Architects to assist us with the design and unite the new space with the existing features of our home. Adam was instrumental in understanding our needs and applying that to the overall design. He worked with us to maximize our budget and communicated with us regularly to ensure we were happy with the progress. The folks at A. Ginsburg Architects are highly professional, approachable, responsive, and easy to work with and provided honest discussions about the building process and related

We recently worked with Adam to draw plans for a kitchen renovation in our home. We were really struggling to envision how to work with our existing home to get the kitchen we needed to accommodate our family. Adam is incredibly patient, thoughtful and professional in his work. He took time to listen and make adjustment to get us a plan that we're so happy with. We really look forward to seeing his ideas come to life!

Beyond his exceptional talents as an architect, Adam is simply a pleasure to work with. He is creative and truly listens to his clients. Throughout the project, he was always open to exchanging ideas, offering advice but taking input from us as well. Because of Adam's vision and attention to detail, the exterior of home was completely transformed and exceeded our wildest expectations. With his great sense of humor, thoughtfulness, and integrity, Adam Ginsberg is the consummate professional.

I looked to Adam Ginsburg to quickly develop a set of plans for a 3200 square foot rebuild of a historic property that had significant fire damage. This project was unexpected and needed to move forward quickly allowing the contractors to catch a short VT building season. Adam connected right away. He worked from pictures and memories all the while, bringing an original 18th century design into the 21st.
This project involved replacing the existing timber frame wing. The new (ELL) wing was elegantly adapted into the main residence, Adam worked hard to improve daily functionality while respecting

Adam took our dream and made it a reality. We wanted to build a new house with four bedrooms on a tight budget. Fitting an architect within the budget seemed impossible, but we wanted to get it right. In the end, hiring Adam saved us money and gave us a design I could not have dreamed of. He listened to our needs, wants, and dreams and considered them all as he designed. His care and enthusiasm for our project was apparent and his ability to work cohesively with our contractor was fantastic. Hiring an architect was the best decision we made throughout this process. We highly recommend working with

My husband and I weren't quite sure what we wanted to achieve with our deck remodel project, but Adam asked the right questions that helped us create a vision and plan. Adam easily made a few adjustments to the initial design and the end product is exactly as we'd hoped. Adam referred us to colleagues who had the same high level of service that he offers.

Adam and Pat of A.Ginsburg Architects helped me plan the renovation of a 100-plus year old commercial building into my new woodworking shop. They were prompt, responsive, and had great ideas. I'm used to doing this kind of thing on my own but am truly glad that I decided to get their help as it made the process so much easier. Highly recommended for their design acumen as well as their personalities!
