Edgewater Design Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Advance
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 30, 2016
“The Quiet Moose has worked on several projects with Edgewater Design Group and their team over the course of several years. This firm continually proves to be an incredibly talented and professional group to work with. The drawings and designs that are created by this firm are everything that an interior designer would want from an architect. When we have the opportunity to work with Edgewater Design Group we know that the interior design was thoughtfully considered as part of the whole project with a mindfulness to the aesthetic and functionality of each piece and for each individual client. We look forward to collaborating with Edgewater Design Group bin the future and highly recommend them!”
JRN Design Associates llc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Advance
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2014
“We hired Jeff Rice last year to work with us on designing our retirement home. He took our thoughts about what we wanted to have in our custom home and designed it better than we had imagined. He walked us through every part of the design process and what he came up with surpassed our dreams. Anytime we called with a question he would answer or meet with us. Jeff is very easy to talk to and excellent at designing and staying within your budget. Our house is in the building stage right now and we have gotten great comments on our design. We have given Jeff's name to a few people who were interested in working with him. Thanks Jeff, for our wonderful retirement home and we will continue to pass along JRN Design.”

“Kim Haig is a fantastic architect. She has a great eye for the details large and small, and knows how to put together spaces that work well both on their own and room-to-room in relation to each other. Our project was a success and it started with the plans she created.”
Shoreline Architecture & Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Advance
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 30, 2016
“Steve Werner a partner at Shoreline designed our lake home in SC. I will never forget sitting with him before we began the project. I told him everything I wanted and everything I didn't want. I gave him inspiration photos and we talked about how we wanted the house to be used. He took detailed notes and asked the best questions. About 2 weeks later he set up an online meeting to show us what he had designed. I started to cry and he thought I was upset but I was crying because it was exactly the house I had in my mind. It had everything I had ever dreamed of and it was stunning. He was involved in every aspect of the build including some of the unique interior design features. He is professional and personable. He is a great listener and amazing problem solver. He is creative and detailed. I felt like he was able to see my vision and put it on paper and then follow through making sure it was done to his standard. We love our house. I would use him again and highly recommend him to anyone wanting something very special.”

“Excellent service. Understood our vision and crafted a beautiful design. Listened closely and then presented ideas. Patient. True partnership offering guidance as well as advice. Worked closely with contractor. Good communicator. Detailed design and blueprints were unambiguous and contractor and client easily understood the design.

Ken Richmond, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Advance
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 7, 2015
“We hired Ken Richmond to design a home for us about 14 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that we do not enjoy the artistry and innovation that he brought to the project. He was extremely attentive to what we wanted and amazingly creative in delivering beyond anything we asked. Earlier this year, we called upon Ken again as we tried to solve a difficult roofing challenge for a winter home in Florida. He came up with a novel and artful solution that both my husband and I just loved. We came to realize that any building project will never be better than the design, no matter how expertly crafted. Ken excels at artistic design. We give him our highest recommendation.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Advance home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Advance, MI architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Advance residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Advance residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in Advance, MI provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Advance interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
