About Cardello Architects

It is very clear that the RAC architectural firm value the importance of unity, and exercise this concept in all relations of their operation. To be commissioned by RAC, a builder essentially becomes a team member of the firm, gaining support from all its associates, for the duration of the project.

Bob’s studio is very talented and conscientious. They really look for creative ways to meet the needs and desires of their clients, then produce documents that make their fabrication practical. A pleasure to work with.

You couldn't imagine working with a better architect!

My firm, Realm, has had the pleasure of working with Robert Cardello Architects on several occasions, and in each case Bob, David and their team created beautiful homes with very happy clients.

Approximately 11 years ago, we hired Cardello Architects to renovate our home in Darien, CT. We completely changed the facade and exterior architectural style of the home, added a three story addition as well as a stone terrace and spectacular screen porch. We worked with both Dave LaPierre and Bob Cardello throughout the project. Their attention to detail was unparalleled. They listened to our wants and created a vision that exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the construction process (crazy, right?) and we accredit that to the positive experience we had with Cardello Architects. We still LOVE our home and are grateful we chose their firm.

We're incredibly pleased with RAC's design of our new build in Darien, CT. We had strong requests as far as flow and function, and they were able to achieve a beautiful design that uniquely fits our family. Additionally, they were thoughtful to ensure that the end result would not only look great to us but also complement the other homes in the area.

Working with Bob and Dave on the renovation of a very old home in Rowayton was terrific. Personable and responsive interaction for the duration of the project; detail oriented follow-through made a punch list meaningless; creative design to update an old house and professional collaboration at every level of the process. We highly recommend!

Susan – Darien, CT

We had an excellent experience working with Bob and his team on our renovation project. The house came out truly amazing and has a lot of detail. Highly recommended.

We are building a house on the water in Stamford having scraped the previous one. Robert Cardello designed the new house after one planning meeting. We have kept to his original design almost identically with few changes. We actually chose him because of all the recommendations we got from friends and family that had used his firm. We were impressed with his portfolio of homes, particularly his experience designing complicated waterfront properties. It’s been a delight to work with his totally knowledgeable and engaged professional team. Their responsiveness is immediate and enthusiastic, they have been our partners every step of the way.

Our Firm has had the honor of Building & Renovating a few projects for the RAC team in the recent years. It has been a true pleasure to collaborate with Bob, Dave and the rest of the RAC family on all aspects of the project. True team players that share our common goal of making sure the clients expectations have not only been met but exceeded time and time again.

RAC has an excellent group of architects that are always a pleasure to work with. The team is talented, professional, and responsive. Their drawings are accurate, buildable, and on schedule.

My experience with Bob Cardello and his staff was amazing. Our golf club was under the gun to complete a renovation project on our clubhouse that had been damaged from a partial collapse due to heavy snow. Bob and his staff were so professional, and catered to all of our needs. The project was unique in many ways and without the expertise of Cardello Architects I'm sure we would have not opened on time. The clubhouse was totally transformed, looks great and functions well. I would recommend Bob and his firm to anyone without hesitation.

Rob - Norwalk, CT

Cardello Architects built us the most amazing house! We couldn't be happier with the process and the outcome. Not only did they nail our vision for the house, but they created incredible architectural details that made the house unique. Most importantly, it was a ton of fun. Ro and Bob made the experience truly special!

Justin - Greenwich, CT

I have been fortunate enough to work with Bob and his entire team on 3 projects to date at my homes in Shippan. From the initial meeting I knew I was in good hands from a customer service standpoint and when I received my first set of drawings I knew I was hooked. Each project the team delivered on time and on budget. We enjoy our home and are always complimented on many of the little things that RAC recommended to add to the ascetics of the project and were well worth the investment. I recommend RAC to everyone I know who is looking for an architect.

David – Stamford, CT

My wife and I hired Bob and his team to help build a summer home in Connecticut. RAC was excellent to work with: professional, thorough, responsive and full of great ideas. We were building on a very small lot near the water which had all sorts of limitations and complexities. Bob and team worked through all of the challenges and designed us a beautiful home that maximized the buildable "envelope" allowed by the town. It won multiple awards and was featured in several publications. My wife and I remain amazed how Bob was able to fit so much house in such a small space - but it's a testament to his great design and execution skills. Perhaps most important, the entire Cardello team is very client focused and responsive to feedback. Bob has done an amazing job creating happy and loyal customers. While the quality of his work speaks for itself, what is not always obvious to potential clients is how easy it is to work with Bob and his team at RAC. They are true professionals.
