“Beautiful architecture that is well executed is a difficult process and the PDA team possesses that rare and magical combination of vision and precise attention to detail. The final product of our 5,300 square-foot, full-floor condominium renovation was elegant, functional and a fabulous home. Without the attention to detail, it is hard to control the project, the budget or the outcome. We were so happy to find a team that cared about all aspects of our project.”
