Start Your Architecture, Interior Design, or Construction Project

Starting a project is a big step. Whether you’re creating something new or building on an existing space, we help clients shape both residential and commercial projects, making your ideas real in spaces designed around how you live and work.

Some clients come to us with a clear vision. Others are still exploring possibilities. Either way, we listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help shape a direction that feels right for you and your project. When you’re ready, schedule a discovery call and let’s talk through your ideas.

What Is a Discovery Call?

This is step one in our process, as we start with a brief conversation where we get to know your project, your goals, and any questions you might have. It’s the first step in ensuring we’re the right fit for your project and helps improve our understanding of your vision.

Our Process

Starting a project can feel overwhelming, so we’ve broken the first three steps into a simple roadmap. These steps cover everything that happens before a proposal is sent, giving you clarity and confidence as you begin your project journey.

Step 1: Book a Discovery Call

Take the first step toward your project by scheduling a discovery call and preparing to explore your options.

 

Step 2: Project Paths - Choosing Your Approach

When starting a project, the approach we take depends on your goals, timeline, and the scope of services you need from our team. Here’s an overview of the options we offer:

1. Design-Only

Architecture and/or interior design services for clients who plan to work with a separate contractor.


2. Design-Build

Architecture, interior design, and construction handled by one integrated team from start to finish.


3. Construction-Only

Construction services for projects that already have completed architectural drawings.


4. Consultation / Feasibility

A short engagement to explore project possibilities, zoning considerations, and preliminary budget expectations.

Step 3: Consultation - Tailored to Your Chosen Path
After selecting your project path, we schedule a consultation designed around your goals and needs. During this meeting, we’ll review your project, answer questions, and outline the best next steps so you can move forward with confidence.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

“From an over 100 years run down convent in East Boston, MASS, this company with real professionals and very, very kind and tireless workers, converted this property into an amazing residence using pristine windows which are so important for the preservation of heat and cool temperatures. Their attention to details are to be praised. We would recommend this company with the assurance that they will not disappoint any expectations. Thank you, Michal Szydlowski for your professionalism.”

— Anina P.

★★★★★

“Lidia and Pionarch are amazing. The creativity and attention to detail are second to none. They helped me sort out a modern and energy efficient approach for my home I would not have thought of. I highly recommend then for any architecture, interior design or construction project.”

— John M.

★★★★★

“Working with Michal at PionArch was the best experience we have ever had working with any contractor – ever. Michal became more than the contractor for the project, we truly had a trusted partner in our home renovation. We have owned three separate houses over the past 25 years and hired contractors for many different projects. The experience with Michal was different from anything we have experienced. We only have positive things to relay. He showed up on time, his crew was experienced, trustworthy and so thorough. Michal’s talent is unique. He does not walk away or ignore anything. He completes everything down to the last detail. He renovated 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, the floors and ceilings in the entire house, new electrical, and new windows. I will never call another contractor.”

— Jeanette R.

★★★★★

“Honestly, my wife and I were not looking forward to a recent project that we needed to have done. Our experiences with working with various contractors over the past couple decades have gone from bad to worse. It seems that a good, professional, and reliable contractor is a species on the verge of extinction. Michal at Pionarch renewed our faith in the profession. His communication was impeccable. He did everything he said he would do when he said he would do it. His crew worked very neatly, so we never felt we were living in a construction site. Michal was also very knowledgeable about the building codes, the latest building materials, and how things should be done in order to withstand the test of time. His professional experience when we met with the inevitable unexpected situations was obvious and invaluable. Truly a pleasure to work with! I could not recommend them more highly!”

— John N.

★★★★★

“We hired Lidia and team to help design a new layout for our first floor. There are a number of rooms and we wanted more of an open layout. Our house is challenging because there are steps up to our family room above the garage. They came up with a unique design that addressed our plans. They were easy to work with, friendly and supportive of our ideas. I would recommend them to anyone looking for architectural designs and ideas.”

— John H.
