Wilets Architecture

We hired to help with an extensive remodel and addition to our home, shown here as the split-level space race project: (Sensitive Information Hidden). Scott is a meticulous designer and worked patiently through multiple revisions of his design to help meet our budget, and maintain the character of a home that has been in my family since 1964. Scott has a great eye for architectural lines, massing, and finish details. He is an expert in Mid-Century Modern design in particular. We had an intense conflict with the builder we originally selected, and Scott graciously mediated this difficult process with diplomacy and tact. Once this was resolved and we found the fantastic builder that we used (EVCON Group), everything progressed swiftly. Amidst the pandemic, it's a daily pleasure to be isolated in our fantastic upgraded and much cozier home. Thank you, Scott!

We hired Scott Wilets to design a remodeling of our home. We did not plan an addition, but wanted to reconfigure several rooms in the house. He provided the design, created specifications for bids, and helped us identify potential contractors. He helped us evaluate the bids and he provided guidance during the remodeling. We broke through several walls on the first floor to create two larger rooms from three smaller existing rooms. The final configuration included a master bedroom plus a large bathroom, a powder room and a family room. The master bedroom is not very large, but Scott's idea to add a bay window (adding just 2+ feet to the width) and break through the attic to create a cathedral ceiling makes the room appear rather large. Another Scott touch was the tray ceiling in the family room with dramatic lighting. Scott's excellent skills and creativity made this project a real success. He was patient as we explored a number of options and figured out ways to make the final selection work. He made good suggestions and added touches we would never have thought to do. He listened to our ideas and was patient helping us work through the compromises always necessary to get a workable result. He was a real partner, even helping us when we couldn't decide what colors to choose for the walls and was very respectful of our interest in keeping within a budget. I would recommend Scott Wilets. He was a pleasure to work with.

Scott Wilets is a consummate professional who always has the client's best interests in mind. In this business, this means that the formulation of the design and realization of the built work are tied closely to the attention that the architect pays to the client. Scott has a keen sense for nuance, detail, and whimsy, which make his projects pleasing and unique. As someone who has worked side by side with him on multiple projects, I can attest to his talents, skills, and good humor.

I worked with Scott on three affordable housing projects over 5 years and found him to be very thorough, consciencious and timely. One of the projects involve historic tax credits and two low income housing tax credits. One was in Maryland and the other two in DC.He has a calm, professional style that was well respected by other team members. When under time contraints to get applications submitted, I could always count on Scott to provide the design materials and green communities analysis required.
