About Cardello Architects

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.

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.

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.

I worked with Bob on an extensive home renovation in Darien, CT. Although Bob was highly recommended to me by two close friends in Darien and Greenwich, I interviewed several other architects. Bob clearly set himself apart from all the others in terms of his design work and approach to the project. I was impressed with his previous work, both residential and commercial, and Bob offered my wife and I unique ideas on how to differentiate our home. Bob is a consummate professional and I highly recommend him. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with him and the overall team at RAC.

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.

We at Custom Furniture & Design in Litchfield, CT truly enjoy working with Bob Cardello, David LaPierre and the entire staff at RAC. Their drawings, attention to detail, quick response and on site supervision is invaluable when building and installing a large millwork project. We look forward to working with Cardello Architects in the future.

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 RCA recommended to add to the ascetics of the project and were well worth the investment. I recommend RCA to everyone I know who is looking for an architect.

RAC has been great to work with through every facet of the building process. They’re responsive and amenable to all the clients’ wishes, and are willing to accommodate them in a timely fashion. The RAC team consistently produces creative, inspired, and professional work that allows for great collaboration across the board. They’ve established themselves in my mind as a reliable option for accurate, authentic, and most importantly punctual work. I would highly Recommend RAC to any and all potential clients as we continue to use their services.

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

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.

Diane & Jeff - Darien, CT

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

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.

Conor - Norwalk, CT

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.
