It was a pleasure working with Vince. Extremely professional with great ideas. We completely gutted a house built in the 1920s and reconfigured the entire interior layout. No detail was overlooked and the project turned out even better than expected. Vince came in under budget and was always very responsive. I look forward to working with Vince again in the future.

Vince is a gifted architect who designed a beautiful home for me. I bought an old ranch house with the intent to do a gut renovation and possible expansion of the footprint. Vince patiently listened to my ideas and objectives and talked through the various approaches before going off to develop plans. He came back with a stunning design that I never would have been able to visualize on my own—a two-story wonder with an open catwalk connecting a vaulted loft on one side of the upstairs level to a vast master suite on the other. Vince thoughtfully worked through refinements with me as construction proceeded. He was proactive, attentive and always had good ideas. I feel like I now live in a work of art, and his architectural design is fundamental to it all. Collaborating with Vince was a true pleasure, and I could not be more pleased with his work. More...

Vincent Colangelo is one of the best architects in Fairfield county that I have worked with in the past ten years. He has designed the majority of my residential developments. When you sit down with him you see the actual house, and he goes over it with you. His architectural talent is spectacular, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. More...

I bought an old house on the harbor in terrible condition. I was dissatisfied with the first 2 architects I consulted. I then hired Vince Colangelo of Colangelo Associates Architects. I am extremely pleased with the house and with the experience of working with Vince. I cannot speak highly enough about it, but I have recommended him often. He is exemplary in every way. He is both very creative and practical (having been a builder) - a great combination. The breadth of his knowledge of every aspect of the job (doors, windows, zoning, drainage - you name it) was pretty amazing. He was always quickly responsive, and the opposite of a prima donna. This was my first time doing such a large project and I felt most comfortable assembling a team. Vince was a willing collaborator at all times. Excellent work. Extremely pleasant guy to work with. Always fair in his billing. My very highest possible recommendation. If you have a job and you don't at least talk to him - you're making a mistake. More...

We've worked with Vince for about 10 or so years now. He's easy to get along with and has a ton of experience in the industry. He so relaxed, he has even often let me come in the office and sit with his architects to go over floor plans with them in detail! I'm decisive and I know I can trust Vince to translate my thoughts into architectural plans. We've not only worked with Vince on planning for developments but he has helped us with our own home. When we bought it, it had a very weird layout with no flow. One of the worst layouts I have seen actually. Vince helped us make sense of it to unleash its full potential and create a wonderful home built for entertaining which we do all the time. I think the greatest compliment to Vince is when people come over they always compliment how much they love our home and how nice and flexible the layout is. Vince really helped us achieve everything we were looking for when we took the project on. Thanks, Vince! More...

Vince designed a new custom contemporary home that we built a few years ago. The homeowners were extremely satisfied with the design and developed a high level of confidence in Vince and his staff. Vince was great to work with and professional in every way, providing details and answers, and managing changes as needed to keep the project on schedule. We highly recommend Colangelo Associates for custom residential projects. More...

Working with Colangelo Associates, one gets an immediate sense that there is a strong collaborative effort that is cordial and flexible. We've hired them to design the entire house from ground-up. Vince was great to work with. He was responsive to every call/email in a timely manner and remained patient and professional through countless revisions we asked of him. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. More...

Vince evaluated a house for us for the addition of a second story. Unfortunately, the deal fell through for other reasons. Vince refused to take any money and immediately returned our deposit in full. I have found honesty and integrity quite often to be the exception in construction, but with Vince it appears to be the rule. More...

We worked with Colangelo Associates Architects on a rebuild of our recently purchased home in Darien and are extremely pleased.

It was during our initial meeting that we quickly became comfortable with Vince, his team and their collaborative approach to the design and build process. In particular, we were impressed by their portfolio of previous work and their focus on doing what "feels right" for the existing site and conditions. Also we noticed his use of windows and light - he is a great designer.

Once we started working together, Vince's real world experience in the construction industry helped us immensely as we sorted through all of his great design ideas and edited them to a budget. Finally, his team brought some excellent contractor candidates to our attention and we ultimately went with one of their suggestions (who also did a terrific job). We will be working with Colangelo Associates again.

My name is Mario Ottaviano and I am partner in the firm, Ottaviano & Tehrani LLC.

Ottaviano & Tehrani LLC has been in the real estate business for over 40 year, building, developing and managing commercial property. Many of our development/renovations projects have required the services of an architect.

Mr. Vincent Colangelo has been fulfilling are architecture needs for the past 20 years.

We have found Mr. Colangelo not only extremely capable, conscience and competent, but also very accommodating when a project encountered difficulties and required special attention.

Colangelo Associates were the architects for a custom contemporary home that we built in Ridgefield about three years ago. They were a pleasure to work with and professional in every way.

After two awful experiences with architects and a set of terrible plans to match, I came to Vince very discouraged. I met Vince at my home and showed him my plans. I told him that I had very poor experiences with the previous two architects. He looked at my plans and told me that he couldn't let me build my home based on those plans because they were terrible. He then spent all weekend working on my plans to give me something which I thought was perfect. Vince was timely, efficient, and has a great mind for design and functionality. I have since used him for my office design in our commercial space as well. I highly recommend him to anyone who would like a great architect at very fair pricing. More...

We hired Vince to do the plans required to completely remodel our house, extend garage and add new side porch. All of which he did brilliantly. Every meeting we had with him and his colleagues was a pleasure - which isn't always the case when undergoing construction! Not only that but we were also constantly surprised by his wide ranging knowledge and contacts. Everyone we encountered seemed to know him and respect him. Since then we've been in regular contact on other smaller projects and nothing, no matter how small, seems to be too much trouble. It's a pleasure to do business with Colangelo Associates and I can recommend them 100%. More...

Colangelo Associates Architects built two homes for me. Vince Colangelo, with his extensive knowledge and expertise, made the experience nothing short of amazing. He designed the homes to complement the landscape, neighborhood and to meet my criteria. He led me through the design and building phases with professionalism and courtesy. It resulted in two beautiful homes, one of which was featured in two magazines. I would highly recommend Colangelo Associates for new homes and renovations. This firm gets high marks for service and innovation! More...

We brought a vision of what we wanted (in words), and an open mind. Vince brought the artistic creativity, and the experience of having build a dozen houses for himself (he loves what he does! ) and countless homes in all styles and budgets for others. If you are looking for an experienced partner who can help you with the artistic vision for your dream home while allowing you to fully see it before you build it we can't image a more perfect fit than Vince. Vince's main strengths are his artistic sensibilities and great ability to communicate both verbally and visually. These are by far the most important qualities in an architect in our view.

Working with Vince was fun, easy, and effective. Vince has no ego, a great willingness to listen, and patience to educate us while also listening to our needs, tastes and feedback. He showed us realistic life-like pictures of his ideas through software. While it took us time to get something to be perfect, the turn around between iterations was fast.

The process was incredibly fun, and we knew exactly what we were getting before we broke ground. We wanted: bright, modern, practical, lots of glass yet private, beautiful, green, low maintenance, lots of outdoor spaces, views of the woods and landscaping. And that’s what we got. The house is tailor made for our lot, our tastes, and our needs. Vince's goal is to produce something that is beautiful, practical, and that both fits your preferences and sits perfectly on the property. Whether you want a rustic cottage, a modern glass house, a New England colonial or anything else Vince has done it before and will work with you to get something that matches your dream.

Was the process perfect? No. Our first iteration ended up being awesome, but larger and much more expensive than we had in mind (which only became clear when we bid it out). In Vince's defense our house was far from typical and we did not perfectly know our wants and needs when we set out. The final iteration ended up being equally awesome but very different than the initial design. The process of turning the drawings into a finished project was also not perfect, but we have no other reference to know how that typically goes, and ultimately you will need a great builder to turn any project into tangible reality. We were fortunate to find a green builder (Mike Trolle - BPC Green Builders) who was instrumental in taking the vision in Vince's drawings and turning it into a reality while helping us with the energy and green aspects of our project. In a lot of projects the architect plays a crucial role in making sure the house is built to spec, but we really ended up not needing Vince to play this role much so can't say how that would go.

Vince's imagination brought our dream home to life. We are very proud of what we accomplished together and would love to work with Vince again.
