Brad DeMotte founded DeMotte Architects in 1990 and is based in Ridgefield, CT, with the majority of his work being located throughout Westchester County, N.Y. and Fairfield County, CT. Over the past 2 decades, he has created or renovated more than 400 residences throughout the area, ranging from small additions to large custom homes in a wide range of styles.

Brad DeMotte has been practicing architecture almost exclusively with a focus on residential design, which he developed a passion for and which is apparent in his enthusiasm he brings to each and every project. He always strives to produce excellent work and provide outstanding service, and he is known for creating homes and spaces of simplicity, grace & beauty, not being limited to a single style.

By carefully listening to his client’s needs and dreams and drawing on his own experience and a well-honed sense of scale and proportion, Mr. DeMotte creates stylish, elegant spaces which often exceed his client’s expectations. This often requires filtering through conflicting issues, reading between the lines and interpreting the clients’ preferences, which requires excellent problem solving skills and makes for a very personal process with the clients.

Even the smallest of projects receive the same personal attention to detail, as Mr. DeMotte is intimately involved in each and every project. Renovations, additions and new houses are all treated with the same thoughtful approach, regardless of scale or budget. He has a passion for architecture which is seen in the meticulous attention to detail he devotes to every design and all construction details.

The firm has experience in a wide range of styles ranging from colonial, shingle style, farmhouse, arts and crafts and modern houses. The design principles and philosophy remain the same, regardless of style. Even a new house that appears old should be constructed with modern amenities and incorporate the latest materials and technologies. There should be a seamless integration of today’s technology and convenience with the warmth of yesterday’s time-honored aesthetic.

The firm provides a wide range of architectural services tailored to the client’s needs and budget, ranging from feasibility studies to conceptual design sketches to construction supervision. While all projects usually require the same “basic services” to design the project and complete the construction drawings, the firm can be as involved in a project during construction as desired by the client. These services range from helping select interior finishes and providing interior details to overseeing a project during construction to insure that the construction is being executed according to the design. The firm’s involvement doesn’t necessarily end when the drawings are completed, and their involvement during the construction phase can be invaluable.
