At Sweebe Architecture we measure homes in feet, the steps they take and the journeys they go on. We work with clients to help them understand their unique flow and family rhythm. We are infectiously curious. We relish figuring sight lines for toddlers, homework nooks, teen hangs, entertaining space and functional kitchens. We work across Northern New Jersey designing additions, ground-up new construction, remodeling interiors and full renovations.
We always work within the historic context of the house, and the wider context of the neighborhood. Kitchens are for prepping, cooking and cleaning. And cocktails, cupcake baking, dinner parties, homework, craft projects and family catch-ups. We help plan for every need. We design in tune with a family's pulse. We place a premium on context. The context of a house within a neighborhood and also a home within the context of the family.
Our initial architecture consultation focuses on listening. We know that the most thoughtful architectural plans come from really understanding our clients' needs and interests.

His skills have improved, but his passion is the same.
With a family of his own, and a dog on the way, he understands how life evolves and changes, and knows that homes need to reflect this.
Mike still sees himself as an explorer.
His job satisfaction comes from helping families discover how they use the space around them, both inside and out.
A New Jersey architect, Mike is a member of the American Institute of Architects and is also certified with the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.

Architects provide imagination, vision, planning, structural integrity, code compliance and safety.
Town building departments require engineering calculations and drawings from architects when the project calls for wood framing and foundation work.
This means that if a homeowner is knocking down a wall between two spaces and needs a beam installed, is creating an addition with new walls, roof, and foundation, or is building a new house from the ground up, an architect will need to provide certified drawings to the town proving all structural members-wood and concrete-are correctly calculated and sized to carry weight.
