Testimonials

  • “We found Jeff easy to work with. He was interested in understanding the client’s needs and developing solutions that would meet them. We worked closely with Jeff on constructability issues that were resolved in a way that maintained the integrity of the design and met fabrication and installation standards.

    Jeff’s empathy to understand the client’s interest in rendered design, balanced with practicality and fabrication methods to assure the integrity of execution. An all around bright light on an otherwise difficult project.”

    David Reese, VP, Zubatkin Owner Representation

  • “Working with Chris has been a treat. He approaches everyday design/construction challenges with thoughtfulness and calmness, he listens carefully to client feedback while also challenging them with his art.

    The handle-bar mustache definitely set a great first impression and his eye for design with great problem solving style made the collaboration stand out. The quality of the collaboration, commitment to the details and not letting anything fall through the cracks made Chris not only enjoyable to work with but trustworthy and reliable.”

    Sandra Kim, Washington DC Developer

  • “I found Level Studio to be professional and personable. They were very creative in their solutions and were able to articulate their ideas clearly. The end product was outstanding in terms of design creativity and presentation of the final design.

    Level Studio exhibits outstanding creativity, professionalism, and personal approach throughout the design process, this sets this team apart from others.”

    Christian Crosby, Sr. VP of Fabrication, Schuff Steel Company

  • “Institutional work in a complex with buildings over 100-years old presents many challenges. As the senior superintendent, one particular problem for me was working with a complex group of stakeholders. Jeff's strong collaborative leadership gave full attention to stakeholders, working across teams, Jeff was able to facilitate the construction team effort on results.

    Above all else, Jeff is a problem solver and one of the most decent people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I would work with Jeff on any scale project.”

    Edmund Delgado, Senior Superintendent, AECOM Tishman

  • “On an urban multifamily project, I hired Chris's firm as the base building architect and another firm on the interior design scope. We reached the midpoint of design and had to part ways with the interior designer and decided to choose Chris's internal interior design team to complete the scope. Without changing the design timeline, Chris completed the design on time, while beautifully executing on our vision and creating a project completely cohesive from the architecture, interior design and brand.

    I'm happy with the end product and believe it will be well-received by the market and our firm.”

    Sandra Kim, Washington DC Developer

  • "Jeff is a trusted, reliable team member who is in it to win it! He has a great disposition, is a natural problem solver and is known to lead the way for the design team to reach successful resolutions in often complicated scenarios.

    Jeff's design resolutions are clean , sensible and sensitive to the environments they are meant to support."

    Mahan Khajenoori, Vice President, Zubatkin Owner Representation, LLC

Broadcasting our startup experience…

Level Studio Architecture still has that new car smell, except after competition weekends—that smell is something else… but we digress. As an emerging practice, we understand the educational value of sharing our experience with others in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industries. In doing so, we have partnered with Gābl Media to share our first year startup experience for the Emerging Podcast’s inaugural season one—the highs and the lows. We are an open book in hopes of helping others who want to start their own practice.

Meet the Team

“Whether it’s the local vernacular, materials, culture or environmental impact, understanding context is critical for any meaningful attempt to design responsibly”
“The grand gesture is equally important as a small detail in the way a building is experienced”
“I believe that there is poetry in the progression of materials—the earth takes time to form the elements used in building and to waste them would be an injustice.”
