What People Say About Us
We worked with an unbelievable team at JRP Architects for our residential renovation. Our project was somewhat extensive and included design and renovation/construction of the entire unfinished top floor of our home. From beginning to end our experience with the team at JRP Architectural firm was just excellent. They worked with us tirelessly in completing an architectural design that was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. Throughout the design process, the Lead Architect Kent, Jack and different members of the team met with us and gave advice and guidance regarding the design that included things that we hadn't even thought of - just awesome listening on their part and collaboration with us at every step of the way. It was a great experience working with this Architectural firm and team. Kent and his team were always available whenever we had questions and also met with us multiple times at their home office until the design was perfect. One of the software tools that JRP Architects uses allowed us to see the finished design in 3D, both inside and out - this made the design come to life and was just very cool! Every member of the team contributed to a design in which every structural detail and change was up to code and required no changes at all once submitted. The outcome of our renovation is a beautiful design that almost doubled our living space but still blends seamlessly with the style of our home. We cannot recommend working with JRP Architects enough, this is truly a world class firm.

HomeownersWorking with Jack Parry and his team was perfect! He had already designed a beautiful addition for our former home, so when our beloved CT lakeside cabin was totally destroyed in a storm, we turned to Jack to help us recover. The new cabin is a perfect blend of old and new styles. Jack’s design kept an eye to the future and his heart to our past. He really listened to what we wanted and married that to what we really needed.
We are forever grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and creativity as well as his kindness and caring to make our dream come true. Simply the BEST!

The architectural work by JRP Architects has truly enhanced our living experience—our home is a harmonious blend of functionality and style. The attention to detail and thoughtful planning are evident in every aspect, from the spacious layout to the innovative use of materials.

HomeownersWorking with Jack and his team was an absolute pleasure! We added a large in-law suite to our home, and Jack took all of our ideas and created a beautiful design that met our needs. Jack and his team were collaborative and communicative throughout the entire process, and we truly felt like we were working with them: no idea or request of ours was rebuffed or dismissed, and Jack's excitement about creating our design only made the process more enjoyable. We are working with Jack again now on a kitchen design in the existing house, and we know it will be exactly what we have dreamed of.
