Testimonials | Trillium Architects

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

Dave, Roxbury, CT

"Trillium created the perfect space for my wife and I to spend the rest of our lives. They were able to translate our wish lists into a space that exceeds our initial conception of what our house could be. The delightful thing about building a well designed fully custom home is that it makes the little things you do every day that much easier and fills you with joy on a regular basis."

Suzanne, Ridgefield, CT

"This is the third time we are using Trillium Architects' services. We find them to be easy to work with, attentive to what our design ideas are and most important Trillium understands what it takes to create a green, well insulated, best envelope type of home that is super comfy to live in. It would be hard to imagine trying to live in any other type of home now."

Jennifer, Westport CT

“It was imperative that our house reflect our beliefs and life style choices and every step of the way Trillium helped us make decisions that resonate with our values and supports our daily life. We got a gorgeous green house.”

Jaqueline and Michael, Lewisboro NY

"We have had the great fortune of working with Trillium Architects on our new net zero home. At Trillium, Elizabeth has built a team of incredibly talented and experienced professionals who craft sustainable homes that balance high performance with impeccable design. Her leadership and forward thinking were what sold us on engaging with Trillium to design our forever home. From the very beginning, she has demonstrated genuine care and consideration for our needs and has made our comfort and satisfaction a top priority."

Grace, Old Greenwich, CT

"We had a great experience working with Elizabeth and her team. They took us through the complex process of obtaining necessary architectural approvals and were flexible with their suggestions, yet firm in explaining what works and doesn't work. Very easy to work with and approachable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great architectural work."

Emily, Greenwich, CT

“When we decided to gut renovate our existing home we wanted someone with experience who was truly knowledgeable. Now that we are done we are really happy and I know we got the best.”

Paola, Darien, CT

"Elizabeth, the head architect, is one of the most professional people I have worked with. She believes in being green as a part of being ethical. She is down to earth, has great taste, great ideas and will go out of her way to help you achieve something more 'green' within your budget. I believe her approach should be the norm nowadays!"

"It was a pleasure to work with Elizabeth and her team on several projects. They are the whole package; professional, responsive, organized and extremely creative. I feel Elizabeth is a significant contributor to green building in this area. I look forward to working with them in future and have recommended Trillium Architects to several clients."

Colin Hosten

We wanted to add a master bedroom suite on a new half-floor of 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.

Elisabeth, Stamford, CT

"Elizabeth was an enormous help when we (two architects) decided to design a passive house. She walked us through the technical information and detailing required, and introduced us to a contractor who specializes in passive house construction. We were able to use Elizabeth’s advice and get our passive house and WELL certification while doing our research It was a great experience and we are grateful for her advice and her expertise."

Beth, Redding, CT

"...Elizabeth is down to earth, has great taste, great ideas and will go out of her way to help you achieve something more 'green' within your budget..."

Sophie, Redding, CT

"Trillium Architects was essential in successfully solving the many, unexpected problems that revealed themselves during construction. Particularly appreciated prompt and patient response to questions, commitment to deadlines and budget. Trillium transformed a beautiful, but flawed and demanding white elephant, into an even more beautiful, comfortable, energy-efficient, low-maintenance home."

Greg and Nancy, Westport, CT

"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."

Mary Anne, Upstate, NY

"We have now been in our completed home for a few years and everything is great. This was a challenging location with steep slopes. The design that Trillium came up with works beautifully. Thank you!!"

"Matt & I are beyond thrilled with what you created for us. Every single person be it family, friends or service people have wonderful things to say about the design, beauty and functionality of this home. We appreciated so much all of your expertise, counsel, follow up, collaboration, and onsite weekly meetings as we made our way through this home building process. Matt and I are daily talking about how wonderful it is to live here and all the elements we love. Thanks for everything you did to make this home a reality.”
