The couple chose architect David Beckwith of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess County, for the redesign, picking from among several contenders becasue they felt he “got it” when they described thier ideas…..Beckwith, quiet and reflective, “listened to us,” the women say….”David took a leap and was able to imagine what you could do, what the possibilities were with this space….” Carol Bahruth and Martha Burns, Port Ewen, NY as quoted in Hudson Valley Magazine

The Architect’s perspective:

“…I become an extension of their (client’s) vision, rather than the driving force…The clients feel ownership in the design. To me, that’s the mark of success: I’ve done my job. The ultimate satisfaction is having clients who love their house.” Architect David Beckwith as quoted in Hudson Valley Magazine
