About

Motzkin Blum Architects is an award-winning design firm that provides a wide range of architectural, interior design, and planning services with particular emphasis on custom residential projects. The firm’s partners, Bud Motzkin and Diane Blum, are experienced and knowledgeable professionals who collaborate to address client needs and creatively solve design challenges.

At the core of our philosophy is our dedication to high design standards and responsiveness to individual program needs and budgetary constraints. Our work process is based on close communication with our clients who are actively involved in all aspects of the design and construction process. Client satisfaction is fostered by our emphasis on personal service and careful listening to client wishes.

Our completed projects encompass small to large projects and a range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Within this varied aesthetic approach, our work is transformative yet contextual, frequently playing on the style that exists to create a unique result.

The firm’s partners are personally involved with the design, production, and construction of every project. The success of each project depends not only on a strong design but also on our clear documentation and monitoring of progress during construction. We have successfully forged collaborative working relationships among our firm, our clients, and a variety of contractors. This team approach ensures projects of high design quality within established budgets and schedules. Satisfied clients appreciate a new or transformed home environment that they will enjoy for many years to come.
