    Killeen Studio Architects
    Premium Architectural Designers
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 9, 2015
    “We loved working with Killeen Studio Architects. We needed drawings to buid a laundry area in our 100-year-old St. Louis condo. The project included demolition of a closet that divided the condo’s large hall into two awkward spaces. Our new laundry is still under construction but we can already see it makes better use of the space. Mike Killeen and his team not only turned the drawings around fast, but also gave us advice, ideas and the names of trusted contractors. The whole experience was very professional, the drawings were exactly what we needed and the price was reasonable. We will certainly use Killeen Studio for our next project and I have no hesitation recommending them to others.”

    “Anat helped me renovate and expand my 60 years-old start-up house. Anat modernized the layout and successfully extended the flow of natural light. Anat followed the project from inception to fruition, working out permits and coordinating contractors while at the same time helping me keep sane and within budget. It's great to have a good professional at your service, and Anat proved to be a great architect and partner for my project.”

    “Eugene Sakai stood out far above the pack of the 5 Architectural firms that we investigated to do our total house construction. He was simply the best to deal with, very professional, on time, and took a personal interest in the project, and within budget. We moved in 2 years ago and still love him and the contractor, C.W. Wright in San Carlos. We are pleased to show the house through Eugene Sakai at any time.”
    Norwood Architects
    Premium Architectural Designers
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 15, 2012
    “We are so happy with our experience! The architect and also the GC, Woody was so immersed, dedicated to our project- he guided us when decisions had to be made with excellent communications skills and also humor! It was exciting to see it all happen- and it was on time! We were living in the basement during the renovation and one night, it was storming, pouring rain- and this was before we had the roof completed, and he shows up in the middle of the night just to check on things to make sure water wasn't coming in! He was also very good at keeping us in-check with our budget. We are very happy with our new home!!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 30, 2013
    “A kitchen renovation turned into an expansion of the room. Michael was recommended to me by my brother-in-law who also builds large projects. We found Michael to be prompt in returning calls, on time with appointments and most of all full of great ideas! He showed us his extensive portfolio and we were truly impressed. He is easy to work with mainly because he's a great listener.”
    Klopf Architecture
    Premium Architectural Designers
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 23, 2014
    “My HOA hired Klopf Architecture to design new fences, front gates, lighting and paint color plans for our condominiums. They were designed in 1963 by Quincy and Jones and built in 1964 by Eichler Homes. Replacements in the 1990s did not serve the mid-century aesthetic well -- but owners did not want to return to the light-inhibiting original thin-line panel fences and gates. The Klopf team produced three outstanding options. The one we selected includes brilliant design features like frosted glass doors with 1/4-in spaces between fence boards to allow light in along with clear glass doors for the pool area with 1/2-in spaces between boards surrounding it. The overall design and color plan is clean and elegant. John Klopf and his team could not have been more friendly and flexible throughout. We look forward to implementing this design over the next few years.”
    Jeannette Architects
    Premium Architectural Designers
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 20, 2012
    “My wife and I hired Jeannette Architects to assist us with a major remodel (interior/exterior) of our 3,500 sq. ft. ranch style home in Newport Beach. The task: incorporate warm contemporary design into our 1970's "woody cabin." As a real estate developer and because it's our third major house remodel there were many design elements we knew we wanted but many more that we needed help with. As capable as Jeff (Jeannette) is with his design sense, we believe that it's his ability to listen to his clients, understand client goals, how we will live in the space and how that fits into our budget is what sets Jeff apart from other architects. The Jeannette team met aggressive time constraints, produced a thorough set of construction documents, were always quick to provide clarification and answers to our questions and were great resources for product and material options and information. True professionals that we would use again and confidently refer to others. Our project is nearing completion and I can't wait to share photos.”
    ODS Architecture

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2012
    “The staff at Ohashi Design Studio helped me design my kitchen/living space. I wanted to open up our galley kitchen to be able to see our incredible view from the kitchen. They came up with a design I never imagined could work so well. Rather than just remove a wall, they moved the kitchen, changed it to a more functional shape and not only opened up the view, but made the living space feel like we were outside. I have been especially impressed with their level of service. They listened to my dreams and goals and turned it into a reality beyond what I'd hoped for. They were available anytime I needed guidance during construction and made sure the project was built down to the finest details. They helped me find a contractor and oversaw the bidding process. They helped pick out all the materials and finishes, even the paint color. I can't say enough about their level of expertise and professionalism. I worked with Dave and Alan.”
    Lane Williams Architects
    Premium Architectural Designers
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 26, 2013
    “Lane Williams took our dated and very tired looking 1960’s one story, pitched roof home with a daylight basement and transformed it into a beautiful modern home with strong horizontal and vertical planes and cantilevered masses. Lane's vision for the house really came together when we decided to spend the money to expand the carport to two cars. We were thinking it might not work, but when he showed us the renderings we both just thought wow – it balanced everything out and got us a look that was spectacular. The finished house got great reactions from the neighbors, and it still thrills us when we overhear the bicyclists as they zip by saying ‘Cool House!’ http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai2before.jpg http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai3.jpg http://coop15.com/images/house_shows/Enatai/Enatai1.jpg”

    “S. Diane Johnson Photography photographed the finished project for Anne Sciarrone Architecture, LLC. Anne's work is beautiful and she is a very strong professional. I have worked with her on other projects and each time has been a delight.”

    Architect or Building Designer FAQs
    The duration of an architectural project can vary widely depending on its scope and complexity. A simple home renovation may take several months from design to completion, while a new construction project could last from one to three years. The design phase typically requires several weeks to several months, factoring in time for revisions and approvals. Communication with your designer will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
    Architectural Designers stay informed on the latest materials and design trends through continuous education, industry publications, and networking with suppliers and manufacturers. They select materials based not only on aesthetics but also on durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Designers work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring the selected materials and trends reflect their tastes while remaining functional and within budget.
    Homeowners should start by defining their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration images or creating a mood board can help communicate your vision to the designer. Itʼs also important to research local zoning laws and building regulations. Preparing a list of questions and concerns for your designer will facilitate a productive initial consultation. Ensuring you have a clear understanding of the design process and what is expected from both parties will help streamline the project.
    Architectural Designers are trained to anticipate and mitigate common challenges such as budget constraints, unexpected site issues, and regulatory compliance. They employ strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and effective communication with clients and contractors. Open and honest dialogue throughout the project helps ensure any challenges are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimizing delays and additional costs.
    Many Architectural Designers possess the skills and knowledge to assist with interior design aspects, creating a cohesive aesthetic and functional flow throughout a home. They can provide services ranging from space planning and furniture selection to the specification of interior finishes. However, the extent of their involvement in interior design varies, so itʼs important to discuss your expectations during the hiring process. For projects requiring specialized interior design, collaborating with a professional interior designer might be recommended.
    When selecting an Architectural Designer, look for qualifications such as a degree in architecture or a related field, licensure (where required), and membership in professional organizations like the AIA. Additionally, a strong portfolio demonstrating relevant experience, testimonials from past clients, and evidence of continuing education are indicators of a dedicated and capable designer. Itʼs also essential to choose someone with good communication skills and a compatible approach to design and project management.
