What people are saying...

As Sr. VP of Development for GB Lodging LLC, I engaged his firm to assist me in coordinating the Professional Team for the 5 Beekman Hotel and Residences, a mixed use project in NYC. This is a marquis project and a testament to my overall faith in his abilities, follow-through and architectural/business sense. Simply put, I trust him without hesitation. He knows the hospitality industry, and the feasibility and programming aspects of it. I turn to him when I need an honest, forthright answer on something.

I have known Wade for 25 years on a professional and personal level. I have also worked closely with Wade during that time on both small and large projects and in my opinion his commitment and dedication is unparalleled.

His attention to detail and quality of work are superior. Wade has been always willing to offer his expertise on a number of issues and has developed an excellent rapport with the various agencies here in the City. Throughout the process Wade has acted as a partner and his cooperation and communication has been appreciated. We look forward to a very successful end result. He is a tremendous asset to any endeavor. The City of Glen Cove has had the extreme pleasure of hiring RWJDA as a clear choice for the Architect of Record.

We have been extremely impressed by the services that we have received from RWJDA. I have personally enjoyed working with Wade and his team. They are always on time for every meeting and extremely professional. They help hold everyone else accountable on the development team. I have recommended his company to fellow restaurateurs and personally recommend his company to whom it may concern.

Here are just a few additional things that set them apart:
• Organization of Schedule
• Accuracy of Drawings
• Knowledge of Code Issues/Specification
• Network

We retained Wade and his design group to conceptualize and oversee the construction of our waterfront dream home. It was very important for us to find someone who could take our ideas and expectations and incorporate them into a home for our growing family.

Wade was a perfect fit. He was always able to look at a problem from a different angle and offer solutions without compromising the integrity and beauty of the home. He listened to our suggestions and offered suggestions of his own. Together, with our contractor, we were a great team. We also looked to him for expertise on interior design floor plans, lighting and furniture placement. We have now lived in the home for a year, and have found all of our decisions to be exact in execution. We would not change one thing, and that is an amazing accomplishment.

I met Wade approximately four years ago, when interviewing architectural candidates for the design of our new custom home, which was to be built by modular construction. I have now worked with Wade on a number of projects surrounding our estate build, including the complete design and plans of the home, a multitude of Architectural Review Board meetings/presentations, a model of our home that was required by the ARB, and multiple photo realistic renderings.

Wade's work on all the aforementioned projects was consistently professionally executed, extremely detail oriented, visually creative and esthetically pleasing to every last minor element. Wade always met deadlines, which were often placed on him with much limitation, and always provided updates in the interim. I absolutely, without reservation recommend Wade Johnson for his architectural and design services!

I have worked with and known Wade for over 18 years. I have practiced architecture and interior design for over 40 years and in many countries. Wade is one of the most talented and professional designers I have ever worked with - and yes, over that period of time he has become one of my closest friends.

I vouch for his integrity his consummate professionalism... but above all, his skills and talent. I have developed and designed several hospitality projects and know of the challenges and pitfalls that can confront you as you drive a project through the process. I wish I had had Wade at my side here in San Francisco.

I have worked with RWJDA on high end residential projects on the North Shore of Long Island for 13 years. I have hired Wade to work on my own development projects twice and referred him to at least ten other projects that we have completed. I have found Wade to be a top notch professional, an excellent designer and to be very good at communicating with clients. Wade has always been honest and direct with me, met his deadlines, been on time for meetings and managed himself in a gentlemanly manner.

One of the reasons I have hired and recommended Wade is the high quality of the drawings that he has produced. In my experience working with other Architects, the clarity and completeness of his drawings stands out. And if and when there are changes or redesigns required, Wade is quick to respond and reissue to meet tight deadlines.

We have worked with Wade and his staff for ten years on a multitude of projects. We have used their team to do projects of both commercial and residential nature. He has both designed and in most of the cases we together oversaw the construction portion of the design in our catering facilities in New York and New Jersey.

The reason we have always gone back to Wade for our projects is because of the level of detail that he brings to the table and the personal attention we get from him. Over the years I have now come to consider Wade a friend as well as an Architect. The details that he gives the projects are always what keep us coming back.
