Tim McCarthy Architect PC

Tim was knowledgeable and easy to work with. His extensive background in construction and architecture was the perfect combination to get our project off to an exciting start!

Tim McCarthy excelled in the realization of our Four Season's Room which was attached to our 110 year old Victorian Farmhouse. His 12 sided design captured the homeowners ideas and made them work for our contractor, Lashomb Design-Finish, to build a structure that would attach successfully to a foundation built home and a garage built on a floating concrete slab. The design of the Four Season's room was made to compliment the existing structures. Tim's attention to detail and his astute listening skills allowed the homeowners vision to become a reality. This room featured in-floor radiant heating, a Rumford styled cooking fireplace, and a 12 sided vaulted ceiling extending 22 feet high. Tim availed himself for consultation with Michael Lashomb (contractor) to answer any questions needed to assure a successful project. This structure built in a zone 3-4 climate area was engeneered to heat efficiently and to endure the harsh weather of all seasons we experience. The interior design and finish work was completed by Lashomb Design-Finish, which emulates a late 1700's colonial Inn. This structure was built for future generations to enjoy! In summary, Tim's knowledge in architecture, building materials, and ability to effectively comunicate with the homeowner and contractor allowed for our successful "Dream Room"

Tim McCarthy designed and drafted our custom ICF craftsman style house in the Northern Adirondacks. The project was finished on time and on budget. We have received numerous compliments on the house design. Would hire Tim again.

Other than being an incredibly pleasant person, Tim is a great thinker. He has saved us from doing things wrong several times. He listens and evaluates carefully. Brilliant ideas are worked up collaboratively so the husband ego is intact. Since I usually make "the call" to Tim, this is of great importance. He is up on all the cutting edge ideas and materials. Unlike some architects who lean too far into design and not practicality, Tim has balanced form and function. In our severe weather zone, frost heave, roof ice build up and other concerns must be addressed in design. Tim is available for both small and large projects and has had wide range of experience in many types of construction. Also if you are thinking of doing stone slipform construction--he's your guy. He built his own home this way, nothing like learning from doing! I think you are always best off with an architect who has actual hands-on building experience.
