    Byrne Haus Custom Home Design

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2016
    “Steven is drawing the second home for our family. We could not be more pleased with his work. He listens, incorporates what we want, and is very good about communicating with you through the process. I have lived in many homes in my life and my favorite by far is the one Steven drew for us. In fact we loved it so much, he is drawing a slightly modified version for us to build again that take into account the changes in our family. Highly recommend!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2022
    “Cemare Studio is a fantastic partner for any design project. They completed and implemented a huge wellness space design for me, and throughout the entire process I just kept thinking, "What would we do without them??" They did an amazing job of balancing design aesthetics, budget, and practicality. Their organization, professionalism, and commitment to the project gave us confidence that the project would look amazing, and it did! I would absolutely recommend working with Cermare Studio for any residential or commercial design project. You'll be in good hands, and your space will be beautiful!”
    Kelley Design Group
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Austin
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 16, 2015
    “We hired Traci Kelley to draw up our house plans after considering doing it ourselves, realizing that we had gotten in over our heads. We are so glad that we went with her. I was very happy with her from the first meeting. She listened to what we wanted and gave her own input that ended up being far better than what I had imagined and thought of things that I had not considered. Her expertise was greatly appreciated. I got absolutely everything I wanted and more without any costly back and forth, we did some minor changes to the very first draft and that was it. The finished plans are amazing, we can't wait to see our house built.”
    FORGE CRAFT ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Austin
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 6, 2015
    “Scott Ginder and his team at Forge Craft are fantastic Architects! There are many firms that design beautiful buildings, but few understand how to design for comfort, efficiency, and durability. As a General Contractor, I love working on Forge Craft projects, they truly understand the building science behind the scenes that results in functional, comfortable, efficient homes. I give them my highest recommendation. If you are interviewing Architects, they should be on the very top of your list. They are fantastic to work with, and their projects result in VERY happy clients.”
    Studio Steinbomer

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2013
    “I have worked with Steinbomer, Bramwell & Vraszel on several occasions. I have found them to be very creative while remaining true to their customer's goals and desires. They always hit their time commitments which really helps with keeping the project on track. I would definitely recommend their services.”
    Hobbs' Ink, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Austin
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 17, 2012
    “We hired Janet to help us design our home on Lake Travis. She was an absolute delight to work with throughout the entire process. I am one of those clients that has a very specific idea of what I want. And Janet is one of those designers that actually listens to what the client has in mind, and then helps them make it even better. She wan't creating her idea of our perfect home, she was helping us create our vision for our home. She was timely and professional, but also has a great sense of humor. Probbably the only negative thing anyone could say about her is that she is a work-a-holic...because she truly loves what she does! Would I hire her again? Absolutely! When a remodeling project recently came up she was the first person that I called. I would recommend her again and again.”

    Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Austin 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 Austin, TX architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

    How do I find the best Austin 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 Austin 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 Austin, TX 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 Austin 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?
