It is with great pride that we formally announce the honor bestowed upon our principal architect, Peter Wells, by the Greater Pascack Valley Chamber of Commerce. Alongside District Community Internship Facilitator Jennifer Errity, Peter has been named 2025 Citizen of the Year! With over 4,500 projects across the tri-state and over 40 years of community involvement as a dedicated Rotarian, Peter truly embodies “Service Above Self” in everything he does with and for the community. We are proud to follow his example in the services and impact we deliver at Wells Architecture. Congratulations, Peter!

Special thanks to The Greater Pascack Valley Chamber of Commerce and congratulations to Jennifer Errity!

We had a fantastic time participating in the AIA Newark & Suburban Architects’ inaugural Barkitecture event in Upper Montclair, NJ! Daniel and Dylan lead our office team in designing and building the Pet Modular Unit, which came home with two awards: People’s Choice and Craziest Cat! Our goal was to create a versatile piece of pet architecture using a single omnidirectional block that can be assembled in endless configurations to suit any pet's needs.

This fun event featured creative pet architecture by local firms, with all entries auctioned to benefit local animal shelters and rescues. It was inspiring to see the community come together for such a great cause, and we're thrilled to have contributed!

Special thanks to Yaneiry Mayard for helping to organize the event!

Progress is moving full speed ahead on one of our latest projects! With framing and drywall in place, the relocation of a popular furniture store in Paramus is beginning to take shape! Next step: Setting the tile floor. As construction continues, we’re excited to see our client’s vision become a reality, turning an empty shell into a thoughtfully laid-out store to suit their current needs while allowing flexibility for future product displays. Stay tuned for more updates as we move closer to completion!

Taped and ready! We're excited to share a glimpse of our latest project in New Jersey, where we've taped out the proposed floor plan for an upcoming renovation. The reimagined space will transform an area currently filled with office cubicles into treatment rooms, exam rooms, and flex workstations, all designed to improve workflow and functionality. We provide this service so our clients can visualize the space at full scale.

The last step is to add the furniture! Designed to accommodate an entirely new program in an existing office building, our team aimed to maximize the comfortability and efficiency of the overall space. With a completely repurposed program, this new office space is almost ready for use, specific to the user’s needs!

Framing is underway at an office fit-up project! As with all interior fit-ups, the framing comes first! We managed to get a few snap shots of the framing progress of the space. This was designed with a focus on utilizing the existing space to maximize program, space, and efficiency.

Celebrating the renovation of the Ridgewood Women’s Club with a wonderful ribbon cutting ceremony! A big thank you to the Bolger Foundation for making this work possible, and for always pushing to help and give back to all members of the community. This renovation included new exterior finishes, windows, landscaping, interior painting, new flooring, as well as technology upgrades.

Exterior foundation, steel, light gauge metal, and sheathing complete! We wanted to share some snapshots of one of our in progress commercial projects over in Nanuet, NY, a drive through coffee shop. Utilizing a fireproof construction type that is built to last, with a bit more site work, we’ll be in great shape for winter!

With Fall just around the corner, Valley Medical has opened a new café. With a wide variety of refreshments and snacks available, anyone running a little low on energy throughout the day now just needs to take a trip downstairs. At 140 E. Ridgewood Ave, we worked with Valley & Canteen to design the space to be welcoming and comfortable, utilizing both natural light as well as clean and elegant materiality throughout, it creates the perfect space to grab a snack or take a moment to sit down & recharge.

The Architects League of Northern New Jersey does some incredible things for aspiring architects, and our office recently got the chance to help out by participating in its Scholarship Fundraiser Mini Golf Outing! Each year, the ALNNJ gives out a few scholarships to students from the area who are about to be or are already in college studying architecture. Our very own Daniel even won the Architects League Scholastic Achievement Award back in 2017! We had a great time mini golfing to raise funds and hope we get the chance to participate again next year! Wells Architecture even took home the title of best team score!
