Established in 1985 and located in the historic Hudson Valley, the Firm’s primary focus has been the creation of buildings that fit their site, historic context, and client needs, including energy conscious and green design solutions. New Homes The process of designing a new home affords limitless possibilities. We are able to work with our clients to integrate the chosen site with their needs, their dreams and their style while developing a design that ensures that at the end of the process the house becomes a home. See our New Homes Renovations Renovating can run the gamut from a new front entry to a major overhaul. We often work with our clients to update or amend their homes and in the process we often get the opportunity to incorporate the smart and green solutions that make a home much more functional and efficient. See our Renovations Accessory Buildings Accessory buildings can be anything from a tiny potting shed to an indoor sports facility. While they usually start with a specific function in mind, they often present opportunities for creative solutions. Their design should complement and enhance the main structure.

He has transformed our 240 year old home and property and we continue to work with him on multiple projects. His sense of style, creativity and attention to detail is unparalleled. We renovated and expanded our main house, built a large barn and guest house, a wine cellar, pool area and our current projects include a pergola, stone house addition with a game room, pool house and gym. I trust Jimmy implicitly and depend on him as I live in a different state than my weekend home. He is a wonderful collaborator, always respectful and truly takes the time to get to know you, your lifestyle and your taste. Our home has been featured in "O Oprah" magazine and is also home to many events. I hope we can keep working with them for the next 20 years! - Mindy Grossman We had a wonderful experience with Crisp Architects. We wanted a pool house the reflection our love of Italy and food and we totally achieved this. I would highly recommend Crisp Architects. They were wonderful to deal with and we love our pool house. Would love to use them again for a future project. - Piedmont1 Jimmy designed our home, from the ground up, and he and Lin Chamberlain built it. We could not be happier. It was a wonderful and easy experience working with them, and the result is a great, comfortable, and charming home. Jimmy and his staff were at all times helpful and responsive, and Lin and his crew were the same. The house was built on time, in spite of difficult conditions (unseasonable ice, and cold) and it is solid, warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and easy to live in. Jimmy was and is flexible and responsive in his approach to our needs, while maintaining a wonderful design aesthetic that is garnered many complements. I highly recommend Jimmy for any project. - SZ Kronovet I found Crisp Architects’ website many years ago, forging our dream of hiring Jimmy Crisp to design our hypothetical addition to our small house built in 1785. Ten years later, with a comparatively small budget than their norm, located across the river, in Orange County, New York, I wrote an email to ask if we were worthy. Almost immediately, I was treated to a personal phone call from Jimmy Crisp, and began to feel the kind, white glove treatment they naturally provide. From that first conversation, to where we are today at mid-construction of an incredible addition and renovation that Crisp Architects designed, I cannot say enough about the entire team and level of expertise. They are not only the sweetest people, but they are true experts in their trade, and particularly with historic architecture. Communication with Crisp Architects is immediate, reaction to your ideas is open minded and responded to with honest, valuable feedback, usually adding a new way of thinking to...
