Watkins’ Words – News & Accomplishments
Valued Client Testimonials
"Twenty years ago when I was looking for an architect, a colleague recommended John Watkins, a young man fresh from college, just starting his practice. The design of our new home was very important to me; after five years of search, I had finally found a wooded property that both my wife and I liked. I wanted the new home to represent our joint vision, unlike the bachelor’s pad I Continue Reading

HOLLY HUNT (Knoll) has been a client of Watkins | Synergetics Architect since 2015. Our corporate office in Chicago was in need of an extensive renovation in 2016. This could of been proven to be difficult as we had to work this project around staff working in the space during demolition, construction, and install. From the initial planning phase, Jeff "listened" to our needs, created spot on drawings, facilitated through Continue Reading

Paul Nowicki, PE Knoll, Inc. Watkins Architect
We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff Biehn from Watkins Architecture from 2015 and throughout last year. He has previously worked with our parent company, Knoll, and was highly recommended to us for our NY Showroom renovation in the D&D Building. This was our first large scale renovation in many years, and our flagship showroom. The pressure was on to create a functional and modern space that reflected Continue Reading

John Watkins, Jeff Biehn, and the rest of the Watkins staff, kept their promise and project timelines from the beginning to the end of the project. From our initial meeting with Watkins Architect we felt we had someone we could trust and was looking out for our best interest. They were our architects in the past and they will be the company we turn to in the future!

We want to commend Watkins Architect, LTD for the invaluable assistance they have provided to Tilden Township. Specifically, we are appreciative of their professionalism, planning, and execution of architectural design work. Their efforts helped Tilden Township immeasurably in bringing the most affordable and beneficial plans for our new building.
Troy Hatt, Chairman Board of Supervisors Township of Tilden Hamburg, PA Watkins Architect
During the time we have worked with John Watkins, as well as his employees, we have found this company to be very professional, courteous, and responsive at all times. Following our first attempt at putting our project out to bid, the bids came in higher than our budget. Despite the fact that Watkins had fulfilled all their responsibilities at this point, they went above and beyond our contractual agreement and Continue Reading
Jim Laub, Building Committee Chairperson Zion Union Church Maxatawny, PA Watkins Architect
Mr. Watkins and his staff exemplify all the qualities of a true professional organization. What impressed me most was the follow-up and attention to the projects during the construction phase. There were bi-weekly construction meetings with contractors, subcontractors, and township personnel in attendance at all meetings. Minor problems were addressed immediately and not allowed to escalate. Both projects ran so smoothly, due mostly to the organizational efforts of Mr. Watkins Continue Reading
K. Ray Stauffer, Township Manager Township of Maxatawny Kutztown, PA Watkins Architect
From the beginning, Watkins Architect LTD provided common sense guidance through the conceptual and development stages of the high profile building project that incorporates many areas of study into a flexible teaching space. They were enthusiastic in meeting our program needs and allowed necessary changes without incident. I do believe that John Watkins commitment to the 'Art of Architecture' is demonstrated in his design of our building.
Mark P. Grisi, Executive Director Physical Plant Bucks County Community College Newtown, PA Watkins Architect
Watkins support staff members were always available and a genuine customer service attitude gave me the feeling like my job was the most important one they were working on. The construction project should have taken nine months to complete. With fast track scheduling by Watkins Architect and constant monitoring, the successful completion was achieved in four months. This further exemplifies the quality of drawings, specifications, and cooperation that prevailed on Continue Reading
