Javier and David did a great job of listening to what we were looking to accomplish with a vintage ice cream scoop shop. It was the first time going through this process and they not only got our vision but guided us through the permit process. We are so happy with the outcome. ### All 38 reviews **★★★★★ — Rafael Locken, Dec. 2024** > Fantastic Experience with Ideo Architects in Carlton Woods > > We had the pleasure of working with Ideo Architects on a beautiful $2.2 million home in Carlton Woods, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, the collaboration between their team, our clients, and us was seamless. They really listened to everyone’s ideas and brought them to life in the most amazing way. > > The quality of their work speaks for itself—every drawing, 3D rendering, and detail was thoughtfully crafted and incredibly precise. It made the construction process so much smoother and gave us confidence that we were building something truly special. > > We actually found Ideo Architects through a recommendation from the Carlton Woods committee, and now we totally understand why they’re so highly recommended. Their creativity and professionalism are top-notch, and it’s been a privilege to work alongside such a talented team. > > Looking forward to the next project with them! **★★★★★ — Joshua Hernandez, Dec. 2024** > We couldn’t be happier with the work of Javier and David. From the initial concept to the final touches, they demonstrated unmatched creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. > > The design perfectly reflects the Montessori philosophy, with open, airy spaces that promote learning, natural light that creates a welcoming environment, and thoughtful layouts that encourage independence and exploration for the children. The use of sustainable materials was a wonderful bonus, aligning with our values. > > The architect also worked seamlessly with our team, listening to our ideas and turning them into reality, while providing expert guidance throughout the process. The result is not just a building but an inspiring learning environment where children and teachers thrive every day. > > Thank you, Ideo Architects for bringing our vision to life! Highly recommended for anyone looking to create functional, beautiful, and meaningful spaces. **★★★★★ — Nicole, Dec. 2024** > Very helpful with our project in Hunters Creek Village. The design was a renovation and I found them through houzz. Also had many contacts that could help us with different trades. **★★★★★ — Tim Seaberg, Dec. 2024** > Javier and his team at Ideo Architects were an invaluable resource for me on my first commercial development project. My civil engineer could only help with the development permit but not the building permits. Ideo took the basic details from my metal building manufacturer and built out all the 3D drawings, including plumbing and electrical. They submitted all the detailed information required by Denton County to start the building permit process and pushed all the way to get it done as quickly as possible. I was impressed by their ability to coordinate with my contractors and engineers to pull it all together. I will definitely be using them on my future projects. **★★★★★ — Jeffrey Nemeth, Dec. 2024** > I have now worked with Javier and his team on two different projects (100 year old bungalow with single story addition and a 2 plus car garage with an apartment) in the Heights. Both experiences were very positive and appreciated that he heard and understood my vision. I will definitely work with him again on my next project and have recommended him to my friends. **★★★★★ — ARB Construction, Dec. 2024** > Working with Ideo Architects on our home renovation in Royal Oaks, Houston, was a great experience. Javier, the principal architect, was fantastic throughout the project. He really listened to our ideas and made sure the design matched what we were hoping for. > > One thing that really stood out was how they used 3D visualizations to help us understand the design. Seeing everything in 3D made it so much easier to picture how the finished project would look. The detailed drawings they provided also made this major remodel much easier to get through permitting with the City of Houston. > > We also appreciated working with David from Javier’s team during the construction document phase. He was easy to collaborate with and paid close attention to the details, which made a big difference. > > We originally found Ideo Architects on Houzz, and we’re so glad we did. They made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re thinking about a renovation or another project, we’d definitely recommend them. > > Thanks to Javier and his team for helping us bring our ideas to life! **★★★★★ — acjuly6, April 2024** > Javier did an amazing job with our house plans. He listened and he executed everything so well and in a timely manner. It has been now two years since we have moved into our home and we love every corner of it. It’s exactly what we wanted in our home and Javier did a great job putting our thoughts, dreams and wants all on paper. Thank you Javier and your team! **★★★★★ — Amber M, Jan. 2023** > We had a great experience with Javier and David! We worked together to design our custom home almost entirely via zoom, as we were living on the other side of the world while developing the architectural plans. Javier did an excellent job listening to what we wanted and incorporating our desires into the project. We love our home and all the special features that he designed. > > I'm confident in providing this recommendations, as we worked with a different architect on a prior home building project and he didn’t come close to being as talented and professional as Javier. **★★★★★ — Joey C., Jan. 2023** > Can't recommend these guys enough. From start to finish Javier and David exceeded expectations on the design of our home. They were able to take a complicated yet undecisive set of parameters and turn it into a beautiful design that matched our vision. The attention to detail was amazing, and their experience in design helped us include different aspects that we hadn't even contemplated. > > Definitely look forward to working with Ideo again in the future! **★★★★★ — Rodney Hunter, Jan. 2023** > We designed our home with Javier Medina of Ideo Architects and every contractor that sees our plans since we began building loves the home inside and outside. We expect to complete construction April/May 2023. **★★★★★ — HU-997791204, Sept. 2020** > I intentionally waited for our new Home to be completed, before I left Javier with Origin Architects a review, We found Javier to be patient , creative and professional, Our house has exceeded our expectations, we will be hiring Javier for our future weekend home, **★★★★★ — Robert Harrison, Jan. 2020** > Working with Javier has been an amazing experience. He has built houses for several of my family members, even within the last few years, and their houses are incredible. My wife and I are building our dream barndominium and I have no problem saying that it would be nowhere near how amazing it is now if it weren't for Javier. Even with the project being and odd project, he came up with a lot of solutions to fit my wife and I's every want and need. Our barndominium is incredible and we can't wait to finish building. We are so happy we went with Origin Architects. **★★★★★ — Marcus White, Jan. 2020** > In my case this is the biggest project we've taken on. Experience in the planning stage was lacking on our end to say the least. > > Origin was extremely helpful. Not only in the architectural portion but in the over all project. They're communication were priceless through out the entire project. Including civil and permitting. If you are looking for one stop shopping experience or only certain aspects of the project I can recommend Origin Architects. **★★★★★ — Ana Catania Design, Jan. 2020** > I loved working with Javier Medina and Origin Architects. > > It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Javier on a total remodel penthouse. As an interior designer bringing Origin in to the project, I appreciated how Javier worked with my vision and offered solutions and point of view. His input was always smart, correct and enhanced the design. **★★★★★ — Tuan Chao, Jan. 2019** > We started working with Javier Medina and his firm right after we lost our home in Bellaire, to Harvey. When we first met Javier, we immediately began exchanging ideas, and he knew exactly what we wanted for our contemporary courtyard home. We presented him our rough sketches, and he helped us turn our ideas into an amazing home. He was great at telling us which ideas worked, and always giving us several options to choose from. He worked very well with us during the entire process, where he would send us preliminary floorplan layouts, and we would send back suggestions. I highly recommend Javier! **★★★★★ — Mingshan Xue, Jan. 2019** > I was very impressed with Javier Medina and his team, Javier made the home designing process much easier than expected. We were looking for an experienced architect with a creative eye for modern architecture, but also someone who would have a sensibility to keeping our project within budget. His knowledge of the building codes, ordinances, and initial research, were crucial to making the design and permitting process as smooth as possible. He made sure that he took extra time and communicated with us to make sure thing were just right. His knowledge and experience carried over through the pre-construction and building stage. I enjoyed our experience with Javier and would certainly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Matt M., Dec. 2018** > We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Origin. Javier Medina and his team are creative, friendly, and will work to make sure you are happy. **★★★★★ — Greg York, Dec. 2018** > Javier was very responsible to our needs and desires in the design of our new home. He did a fantastic job making suggestions on where things could go and the end product. **★★★★★ — Jose Gomezz, Dec. 2018** > My wife and I wanted to build a house valued at > $ 300,000.00, so we requested the professional services of Origin Architects. We were advised by Architect Javier Medina who surprised us with his kindness and professionalism. He also speaks Spanish very fluently, which helped us to understand each other even better. > Javier captured in the blueprint exactly our ideas without difficulty and he was very flexible to modify the plan every time we sent him emails with new modifications. We highly recommend the services of Origin Architects because they make the dreams of many families like ours a reality. Therefore we will hire them again in the second phase of our project that will be the construction inspection. **★★★★★ — HU-630240708, Nov. 2018** > Javier was a pleasure to work with. He was very considerate of my handicap parents and their needs. Javier went out of his way to be helpful. The reason we did not follow through with him is because we found an already built house. I would recommend him. **★★★★★ — Karl VanBrocklin, March 2018** > We were looking for an architect to design our home and create one that was different from all the look-a-like homes you see in the Houston area. We also wanted a timber frame design, which was a further complication. It required close cooperation between the architect and the timber frame designer to insure that the requirements of the timber frame would be accommodated within the architectural plans. We ended up selecting Javier with Origin Architects because of his work at Main Street America. His designs demonstrated to us that he was versed in all styles of home styles and was capable of thinking outside the typical Houston box. We were not disappointed and have a design we feel is unique. Javier was able to translate our concepts into a design that works well with the timber frame. He was not afraid to challenge us when we asked for things that were not practical or that did not work. He was very cooperative, listened to our needs and wants and worked very well with our timber frame builder. We highly recommend Javier and Origin Architects to anyone thinking of building a new home. **★★★★★ — Miguel Paez-Roa, Jan. 2018** > We met Javier by a fortunate coincidence when we were just starting demolition in our property and quickly engaged him in our plans. Javier helped us develop our idea from pretty much the lot plan to a final product and we always had design plans budgets and documents on time and ready for city inspections and approvals. Would recommend Origin in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Askari, Jan. 2018** > We hired Origin Architects to help us plan a major remodel on our home. The ideas they proposed and the final results of the drawings they created are beyond anything I could have imagined. Seeing their drawings come to life has made me appreciate their ability to listen to our ideas while inserting their expertise to take the ideas to that next level. We would be happy to use them again and would most definintely recommend Origin Architects. **★★★★★ — Ali E, Dec. 2017** > Origin Architects designed a coastal-style house for us and we're very pleased with the result. From the first sketch to the final design, Javier and his team proved over and over that they are highly experienced, versatile, and creative. They not only brought our vision to life, but also enhanced it. During the entire process Javier was very professional, responsive and available to discuss ideas. He even collaborated with our engineer and found solutions to some structural challenges we encountered. We had a great experience with Origin Architects and we highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Maliha Iqbal, Dec. 2017** > We had a wonderful experience with Javier at Origin Architects. They are highly professionals, met all deadlines, and are vey good to work with. They helped bring all our ideas to life and were able to make the plans in our heads into a beautiful reality. Their designs are impeccable, their attention to detail extraordinary, and their respect and customer service is staggering beyond imagination. They made us feel highly satisfied by the choice we made in doing this project of building a home from scratch with them. **★★★★★ — Erynn Honey, Dec. 2017** > Origin was amazing to work with. They were very expedient with our plans and helped us design our dream home. Our architect had great ideas and was very willing to incorporate our ideas. He made lots of suggestions and was very knowledgeable about how to incorporate our vision onto the plans. The house exceeded our expectations! I would highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Emils Skulte, Feb. 2017** > Javier is a dedicated and thorough architect who works in the client's best interests at all times. Design development progressed smoothly and Javier provided realistic solutions to challenges that arise during the process. He is willing to listen's to client opinions and provides fresh perspectives to consider. He did not manage the construction but did provide ongoing consultation. We are trilled with the result and strongly recommend Origin Architect's. **★★★★★ — flound1820, Sept. 2016** > Javier and his team were great to work with! They designed our home to fit on a skinny lot and they were still able to maximize the living space. The project was treated like a top priority as he was always there if the builder or contractor had any questions. Javier's attention to detail, desire to please, and overall professionalism was very impressive, but he was also very personable which is not seen very much these days!. We could not be more pleased with the final product and love our new home. **★★★★★ — aer8301, Sept. 2016** > Javier @ Origin Architects, did a remarkable job! He was able to take all of our ideas and incorporate them into a fabulous masterpiece and even added a few special touches!! He was really great about coming on-site during construction to make sure everyone was completing the job per the plans! He made the design phase very simple and quick. If we wanted any changes made, he was pretty quick in returning to us with our options and designs. He would also let us know if something was not going to work. Pricing seems to be in the middle of most of the competitions but the experience and quality of work is top notch! Already working with him again on our next project! **★★★★★ — Mark Puckett, Sept. 2016** > We came to Origin Architects (OA) with a dozen 1/4"-ruled pages taped together, the final version of many we had worked upon for the last seven years. I think OA was surprised, but more importantly, OA was enthused by the challenge. We worked very closely with Javier Medina over the next several weeks to translate the scaled pencil sketches of our dream home into bonafide architectural renderings. Javier helped us iron out some the rough areas of our drawings (we have no construction experience, some of which is nice to have in designing the house) and offered his own ideas, many of which we included. He challenged us on some of our ideas because 1) the ideas were outside the norm, and 2) he had a forward concern about the value of the house being preserved. It was a good exchange since we had to articulate and defend our reasoning and he wanted to be sure we understood that for which we were asking. We moved forward with Javier to complete the plans and build the house. Because we had such a rich and fearless dialogue with OA in the bringing of our plans to reality, we had no major scope changes and the house was built slightly under budget. > > We have a blog of the entire construction phase at http://leaningoak.blogspot.com > > This was our first experience in building a home from "scratch" (starting with our own "scratchings" through construction), and we had a great experience with OA. We highly recommend them and their services. **★★★★★ — latnmari26, June 2016** > Professional, courteous, work completed in a reasonable time, and very accommodating with requests, ideas on designs and will provide recommendations. **★★★★★ — Kelly, Feb. 2016** > Javier and his team of designers helped make our dream home a reality. I went to him with a design that needed the creativity of a professional. He listened carefully and we had a good, creative exchange in every meeting. He was very patient with my vision and my budget. He always communicated in a timely manner and met deadlines. In the end, Javier delivered the design for our dream home. **★★★★★ — Ashley Western, Feb. 2016** > We worked with Javier Medina in creating our custom home plan. Javier has been excellent throughout the process, and has kept us informed in all stages. I would recommend Origin for any custom home design. They have been top notch. **★★★★★ — Randall Ross, Jan. 2016** > Javier and his team helped my wife and I modify a set of house plans in order to better suit our style and desires. The project was treated like a top priority as we were on a tight deadline. Their attention to detail, desire to please, and overall professionalism was very impressive. We could not be more pleased with the final product, what started as a simple set of plans is now our uniquely beautiful home! **★★★★★ — nrbevan, Jan. 2016** > We were very happy with our experience with Javier and his company. The ideas and designs they helped us come up with were awesome. We were able to design our dream home with them and we are loving our floor plan and extra finishes. **★★★★★ — lilivalencia36, Jan. 2016** > My husband and I recently used Origin Architects for our dream home. We have been delighted with process and the results. Although I was pretty sure I wanted to use Origin Architects based on a co-worker's recommendation, my husband wanted to get bids from other renovation companies for our schematic drawings just to be thorough. at the end, when we compared with other bids, we were impressed with Origin's pricing and level of detailed outlined in their bid. We highly recommend Origin Architects for anyone that wants to built their dream home. **★★★★★ — adittfurth84, Jan. 2016** > Origin architects is an amazing architecture firm, focusing on detail and creativity that makes every project unique! > > As an interior designer I loved the amount of detail that went into this home. Not only the interiors but exteriors as well. Also the fact that they take "the views" heavily in consideration masked all the difference. The luxury home has beautiful golf course views from nearly every room / window in the home. The outcome was georgeous and the homeowners couldn't have been happier! I believe that Javier and his team truly captured their dream home! ## Selected projects - [Tanglewood Renovation \| 2018 MA+DS Modern Home Tour Featured Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tanglewood-renovation-2018-ma-ds-modern-home-tour-featured-home-pj-vj~4237915) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 68 - Description: This Origin Architects’ designed major home renovation, located in the prestigious Tanglewood neighborhood of Houston, was originally built in 1997 with this most current renovation being completed in 2018.
