Michael helped me with a house in Westport. Not only was he pleasant to work with, he was concerned for the details. When the builder just wanted to put wainscot in the foyer, Michael wanted it done right so he drew up the plans for the wainscot.
Not only is Michael talented, he is a really nice person.Read More

We recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Lobuglio to design our future home, and we couldn't be more impressed with the experience. From the outset, Michael took the time to understand our vision, needs, and preferences thoroughly. He interpreted our requests with incredible accuracy and insight, creating a design that perfectly fits our needs.
The developed plans showcase a remarkable blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that every home space will be beautiful and practical. Michael was attentive to every detail, incorporating features to enhance our daily living experience and making thoughtful suggestions to improve our initial ideas.
Communication throughout the process was seamless. Michael was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and discuss options, making us feel involved and informed at every step. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication were evident in every interaction.
We highly recommend him to anyone seeking an architect who truly listens, understands, and delivers outstanding results.Read More

Michael knows his craft. He was originally recommended to me by a prominent musician friend, who was himself an architect at one time. Michael worked with us to sketch out anything we could dream up really. He has a wide variety of styles and abilities. Eventually, the modern cost of renovation combined with our age made us scale back the project that we had in mind, to something much more practical from our living standpoint, giving us a lot of great new options for entertaining larger groups of people, while downsizing the maintenance, and maintaining the full function of my recording studio, (as i am still active in making music). Michael's plans were detailed, structurally sound, and clear to the workers implementing them. When there was a question, Michael was quick to respond to them and resolve any questions that they had. The project went up flawlessly from a design and an implementation standpoint. The cost was in line with costs today. Michael is also a really nice person who is easy to work with. I highly recommend working with Michael LoBuglio for architectural needs.Read More

Mike was great to work with and we were extremely happy with how the drawings came out for our addition. He went above and beyond working with us and sending various layout options to ensure that we had the best layout possible. We are very excited to see his drawings come to life and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for an architect.Read More

Mike, thank you so much for the transformation of our Oxford, CT. home. When I blindly reached out to you at the last minute from New Hampshire in late January of 2021, during COVID, to see if you could possibly meet Tim at a last minute showing of a 1977 relic of a house to discuss the possibility of transforming it into a home, it was a true blessing. With your advice in hand, we took a leap of faith to start the year long journey to renovate this house into an amazingly comfortable, modernized home that we truly value each day. You immediately had recommendations to share over the phone with me. Since I only had the photos from the listing to dream from, you were my eyes and my measuring tape. You were patient and kind and considered all my concerns and ideas. Mike, your emailed, hand drawn renderings were such a vision to work with each time we spoke. I truly valued your opinion and suggestions as you did mine. We created a gorgeous gourmet kitchen, a beautiful bathroom, and a master bedroom, complete with his and her closets. We also moved stairs to create a living space upstairs and a very functional entry area from the garage that provided ample overflow storage, closet space, and a bathroom. The basement layout truly transformed the space into a winter escape for us. Your professionalism and kind spirit were a joy to work with and we still value your friendship to this day.Read More
