Arocordis Design - Montpelier, Vermont

Steve was wonderful to work with. He guided us with his design experience and expertise as we navigated putting an addition on our home. Steve presented beautiful options (both 3D computer generated and hand drawn perspectives to visualize the ideas) that helped us narrow in on what we ultimately had built. The new space is designed to capture great natural light, have comfortable flow between and within the rooms, and is perfectly sized for our needs. We absolutely love the new part of our home and feel lucky to have had Steve's help in making the whole process of design to construction go smoothly.

Stephen Frey is an amazing architect that did fantastic work designing a home for us in Vermont. If you need someone who will collaborate with you, listen, seek to capture your creative vision, coach you on consultants and the process, site engineering and home design work, he's the right architect for you.

Steve has been fantastic to work with. He’s passionate about design and he’s developed great ideas based on our goals. He’s meticulous in his drawings and 3D renderings, so we got a good sense for the end result and we could be confident in our decisions. It’s been a great collaboration and we’re so thankful we discovered Steve.

Steve was great to work with. He really listened to what we wanted and put that on paper. He worked with us in person and also virtually using 3D walkthroughs and images to help make modifications and changes in real time. This makes the process very efficient. The final builder's plans were excellent and we have nothing but a strong recommendation for Steve at Arocordis Design.

Arocordis was the perfect design firm for our project – a modest ranch house renovation on the edge of a family farm with picture window perfect views of the Connecticut river watershed and farm fields. What started as a renovation discussion led to a creative rethinking of the New England ranch house design appropriate for the lifestyle choices we are making, creating a simple home that is easy to care for and delightful to live in. Stephen Frey was also the perfect person for the project. He listened to our thoughts about the purpose of the house, our relationship to the land around it, and our long-term plans for enjoying the space.
Steve quickly understood our vision for the renovation and transferred our ideas to a simple and attractive design. He was always positive in our discussions and an easy person to have a conversation with. While starting a building project during the pandemic was a challenge, especially with labor shortages, shipping delays and price increases (!!), Steve coached us through these challenges and was helpful in rethinking some of the original architectural features in order to meet constraints with the building site and process.

We highly recommend Stephen Frey of Arocordis as a talented architect who is a pleasure to work with.

Steve has provided design and branding services to me in the past, and is currently doing so again! He's so much fun to work with, especially as someone who often feels she's putting too many ideas on the table for the other person to cope with: Steve has no difficulty keeping up with me and, in fact, he often "meets me at an intersection," and poses a fascinating question or suggestion just as I'm wondering if I'm covering too much ground. He's capable, talented, kind, and he really listens to what one is saying. In case it's not already obvious, I highly recommend Steve for any project that involves conceptualization and design.

Steve has been my go to person for my home and business design needs. He is very professional and personable, listening to my suggestions and asking the right questions to get us to the best design solutions. It doesn't matter if the project is large or small, Steve's is equally focused on doing a great job.

I had Steve design a home addition for me and I was very happy with the final design. He was always available to answer my questions and implemented my requested design changes promptly. I would not hesitate to have him do architectural work for me in the future.
