What we do
Architecture for the way you live and work
From intimate coastal residences to large-scale multi-family facilities, Amelchenko Architect brings five decades of expertise to every project.
Custom homes designed around how you live
Residential Design & Build
We design custom single-family residences from the ground up — working closely with each client to translate their vision into a home that is both beautiful and deeply functional. Our residential practice spans new construction, additions, and full renovations throughout the East Coast of the United States and the Caribbean..
Every residential project begins with a thorough site analysis and programming session. We study your property, your lifestyle, and your aspirations before a single line is drawn. The result is a home that responds to its setting — capturing views, managing light, and meeting the structural demands of coastal construction — while reflecting your personal aesthetic.
Scope of services
- Custom new construction — single-family homes
- Additions and major renovations
- Coastal and oceanfront siting
- CAFRA and flood-zone compliance
- Schematic design through construction documents
- Construction administration and site observation
- Coordination with engineers, surveyors, and contractors
Residential density done with care
Multi-Family & Condominium
Our multi-family practice covers condominium buildings, townhome communities, and mixed-income residential developments. We bring the same attention to livability and detail that defines our custom residential work to projects with multiple units and more complex regulatory requirements.
Multi-family projects demand a careful balance between density, livability, and neighborhood context. We design buildings that feel like homes — not just units — by attending to natural light, private outdoor space, sound separation, and shared amenity areas that residents actually use.
Scope of services
- Condominium buildings — 4 to 40+ units
- Townhome and attached-unit communities
- Site planning and unit mix optimization
- Common area and amenity design
- Zoning variance and planning board presentations
- Full construction document sets
- Construction administration
Workplaces and retail environments that perform
Commercial Architecture
From professional office campuses to retail storefronts and mixed-use developments, our commercial practice delivers buildings that support business operations, attract tenants, and contribute positively to their communities. We understand the economics of commercial development and design accordingly.
Commercial clients need architecture that works on day one and continues to work as their business evolves. We design flexible floor plates, efficient building envelopes, and durable material selections that minimize operating costs and maximize long-term value.
Scope of services
- Professional office buildings and campuses
- Retail and restaurant fit-outs
- Mixed-use ground-floor commercial with residential above
- Tenant improvement and interior build-outs
- Site selection and feasibility analysis
- Permitting and municipal approvals
- Construction documents and administration
Buildings that activate streets and neighborhoods
Mixed-Use Development
Mixed-use projects are among the most complex building types — combining retail, residential, parking, and sometimes office or hospitality uses within a single structure. Our experience with zoning, building code, and construction sequencing makes us a trusted partner for developers tackling this building type.
Successful mixed-use buildings require a sophisticated understanding of how different uses interact — acoustically, structurally, and operationally. We coordinate all disciplines from the earliest design phases to avoid costly conflicts and deliver buildings that work seamlessly for every occupant.
Scope of services
- Ground-floor retail with residential units above
- Live-work and artist loft configurations
- Structured parking integration
- Streetscape and pedestrian realm design
- Zoning analysis and variance applications
- Planning board and design review presentations
- Full construction documents and administration
Environments designed for healing and efficiency
Healthcare Facilities
Healthcare architecture demands a specialized skill set: knowledge of state licensing requirements, infection control standards, patient flow optimization, and the technical systems that support clinical operations. Our healthcare portfolio includes medical arts buildings, outpatient surgery centers, and specialty practice facilities across New Jersey.
Healthcare clients operate in a highly regulated environment where design errors have real consequences for patient safety and licensure. We bring rigorous documentation standards, deep familiarity with New Jersey Department of Health requirements, and a collaborative approach to clinical programming that keeps projects on schedule and on budget.
Scope of services
- Medical arts and professional office buildings
- Ambulatory surgery centers (state-licensed)
- Specialty practice fit-outs and renovations
- Patient flow and wayfinding design
- ADA compliance and accessibility planning
- Infection control and HVAC coordination
- NJ DOH and CMS regulatory submissions
Our process
From first call to certificate of occupancy
Consultation
We begin with a no-obligation conversation to understand your project, your site, and your goals. This helps us determine scope, timeline, and fee structure.
Schematic design
We develop initial design concepts — floor plans, elevations, and site plans — that establish the overall character and organization of your project.
Design development
Approved schematics are refined into detailed drawings that resolve materials, systems, and building envelope performance.
Construction documents
We produce a complete set of permit-ready drawings and specifications coordinated with structural, MEP, and civil engineers.
Permitting & approvals
We submit to the municipality, respond to review comments, and shepherd the project through all required approvals.
Construction administration
Paul personally observes construction, reviews submittals, and resolves field conditions to ensure the built result matches the design intent.
