Reviews of Trillium Architects (Architect)

Kirsten Cowan

I'm writing a review from the other side of the fence...As a former member of the design team at Trillium, I know from experience that this firm's commitment to sustainable building and superlative client relationships is the real deal, and it permeates the firm culture from the top down. I was proud to be part of this team!

Working with Elizabeth and her team was an amazing experience they helped us with the remodel of our house and did an amazing job. we have recommended Trillium to several of our friends and they are equally happy with the experience.

Philip Brachman

We were totally impressed with how well they listen to what we wanted, designed our Net Zero home around that, and built us the most fabulous house we could imagine.

Mary Anne Benedetto

Currently working with this amazing team on our renovation and addition. Their design is amazing and we can’t wait for the final results

Chris Mai

I have both worked with, and worked for, Trillium Architects for quite a few years. Their outside of the box thinking and dedication to 'think globally, act locally' is unmatched. I can always count on them for any architecture and renovation questions I throw at them.

Lorraine Anastasio

We chose Trillium for extensive renovations and are thrilled with the transformation to a 'beach house modern' home that maximizes the beauty of our waterfront property. Elizabeth and her team took every opportunity to make the house more energy efficient, and there is no wasted space. They were as attentive to details as to the big picture, astoundingly creative, and a pleasure to work with. They even created a gorgeous piano practice space that is acoustically fit for professional recordings and doubles as a guest room.

They designed a new front porch on my small ranch. The work they did was so great, it made it so easy for the contractor to come up with a quote and get a great price on exactly the supplies.

Sheilah Gallagher

Trillium came up with a beautiful and unique solution to our renovation needs and found the staff to be incredibly responsive and helpful. We have recommended them to many people without hesitation.

Felipe Ferrand

I have relied on Ms. DiSalvo and her colleagues at Trillium for expert advice on the renovations of my historic midcentury modern house. They are patient, easy to work with, exceptionally talented and focused on client requirements.

Jennifer Boyd

They designed my eco friendly house and farm in a chic and stylish way. I am ever so grateful for their keen eye for sustainable design.

Lori Boersma

I've worked with Elizabeth and Trillium for over a decade and consider them to be very knowlegeable, responsive and professional.

I was impressed with the work fom Trillium Architects since before I ever owned a house. I had been looking for houses in CT when I lived in Florida and fell in love with an LEED home that had been recently sold. I liked it so much that I called the real estate agent to ask if she knew who had the previous owners used as an architect, and got the name for Trillium architects. I spoke with Elizabeth, the main architect, and instantly loved her. She was honest, knowledgeable and approachable. I told her I wanted an energy efficient home but thought I could not afford it. She gave me averages per square feet that were not higher (and indeed lower) than other non-energy-efficient homes. I then met Elizabeth during One of my trips to Connecticut and she showed me a few of her works in progress. Two years later I bought a home and called Trillium to help me renovate it. They were amazing about the process! . They were knowledgeable and had great attention to detail. They were completely flexible and the way we wanted to do it. At the end, I love my house thanks to Trillium!

Dave Goldenberg

I'm not a client, but have known Elizabeth professionally for many years. I am impressed with her knowledge, creativity and commitment. A pleasure to work with.

David Lindsay

My company, Advanced Photographix, has photographed many of Trillium's projects and I have met many of their extremely satisfied clients. I have been very impressed with not only Trillium's architectural concepts and execution, but also with the warm personal relationships they form with their clients. If I were in need of an architect, Trillium would be my first choice.

Sarah Blandford

We really enjoyed working with Trillium Architects on our recent renovation project, and are very satisfied with the results. We extensively renovated an historic house. Elizabeth improved the flow of the layout, while maintaining the historic features and sensibility. We appreciated her keen sense of design, her respect for incorporating our ideas, and her focus on energy efficiency.

Cara Christofor

We have been referring our real estate clients to Trillium Architects for years! The are professional and offer outstanding service. Highly recommend.

Ken Levenson

Great architects!

Colin Hosten

We wanted to add a master bedroom suite on a new half-floor on our house, which posed a challenging design issue in terms of where to put the new staircase in our open-plan living room. We are absolutely thrilled with the plan Trillium helped us design. Then they went the extra mile(s) to help us navigate the municipal approval process when there was initial push-back from Zoning, who did not know how to negotiate the mid-century modern design of the house. So grateful to have had the Trillium team take the lead in that whole process.

Mahdad Saniee

I have worked with Elizabeth Di Salvo for many years as a colleague and at times as a collaborator. She is one of the best in the business. She is extremely well versed in her craft and she matches that with great design ability and sensitivity. Highly recommended.

Greg Wolfe

Trillium designed a new "green" house for us that was completed in 2010. We are so thrilled with how it came out. Just beautiful, functional, comfortable, and very environmental (like all their work!). And they are such nice people to work with--we feel like we are part of the family.

Aubre A

Currently working with Elizabeth and her team. Have been very happy with the experience up to this point.

Lori Seibert

Elizabeth and her team are top-notch, professional, and creative. Highly recommend!

Jeremy Klein

As an insulation contractor who worked on many of Trillium's projects, we've always found Elizabeth and her team a pleasure to work with. Her blueprints were detailed and her plan to tackle the thermal envelope is always thoughtful with a focus on practicality, longevity with a touch of uniqueness. It's clear that Trillium takes great pride in their work and goes the extra mile to ensure that not only her clients, but also the contractor and subcontractors working on her project have a clear and effective vision to work off with. As an insulation contractor, we wish more architects were like Trillium!

Gunilla Vickers

Wonderful to work with, very creative, but at the same time practical and very knowledgeable!

Peter Marciano

I have known and worked with Trillium Architects for over 15 years. Trillium and Elizabeth DiSalvo have proven themselves time after time to be a dedicated and committed design team that is focused on your project and its success.

Maura Juan

Elizabeth is creative and a great team player. Highly recommend!

Bob Schloss

Trillium Architects took on the demanding task of preparing an architectural plan to take a dilapidated home in Ossining NY and convert it into a medium sized certified Passive House with particular facilities for aging in place for our family, using resources largely available from local sources in the lower Hudson Valley, and with a limited budget, and ready to have a green roof as well as photovoltaic solar panels. The work started in December 2017, a design complete enough to be priced by two builders was prepared, a builder started work in October 2018, and they are providing assistance each day as final decisions concerning the interior of the house are made.

Ann O'Brien

Dedicated, skilled and "down to earth." Top notch green architects and VERY community oriented.

Caroline Hunter

I would certainly recommend the Trillium Architect team to all. Not only did they have terrific ideas and great recommendations, but I found them to be respectful, imaginative, and collaborative.
