The most important decision we made when building our house was choosing Kim Hoover as the architect. It was the first house we had built and we were totally naive to how many bumps there would be along the road. We found out about Hoover Architecture via Houzz where Kim had stellar reviews across the board, and she was located somewhat in the area of upstate New York where we hoped to build our home in the woods near a lake. We had travelled a couple times around Iceland and my Italian wife had lived for a time in Sweden; we loved the simplicity of the Scandinavian houses and hope to incorporate aspects of that design into a house that would fit into the lake community where we planned to b...

I've had the pleasure of working with Kim Hoover for nearly 15 years on various projects, both commercial and residential. On every project she has demonstrated outstanding creativity, technical knowledge, and professionalism in all aspects of her architectural work. She has an exceptional ability to balance innovative design with her practical functionality that set her apart from many architects. Kim listened to my concerns and wishes on each project we worked together on and always offered a solution...she was invested fully! In addition to her technical abilities, Kim is an absolute pleasure to work with. She had my full confidence on every project!

We are so fortunate that Kim Hoover planned our renovation. She expertly captured our priorities and was creative about modifications to our plans that would reduce costs. She clearly explained the permitting process and referred us to excellent contractors. Thanks to Kim we love our home and the process was much less stressful than we imagined!

Our collaboration with Hoover Architecture started nearly 14 years ago. We interviewed about a dozen architects, and it was clear Kim Hoover stood out from the rest -- she understood what we wanted and didn't allow us to make bad choices. Kim isn't an architect who will nod and smile, and then design an unworkable house: she listens, advises, listens again, explains and then uses her extraordinary knowledge of current and historic design trends to create beautiful homes and building. The best part about working with Kim, aside from her creativity and talent, is her really superior communication skills. We were never left hanging and she often pro-actively reached to us to make sure ...
