Featured Reviews for Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers

Stephen T. Terhune, Architect
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Jan 15, 2014
“Steve has a great ability to listen to a customer's wants/needs and boil it down to a great looking product! His professional assistance and guidance is excellent throughout the entire building process. I recommend him as part of your project team.”
HD Squared Architects, LLC
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Sep 24, 2014
“Where to begin! Melanie Hartwig-Davis is an extraordinary architect. She has worked on a number of projects for us, including our kitchen, family room/bathroom, and an extensive project where she completely transformed the outside of our house by adding lighted flagstone stairs, custom-designed wrought iron railings and an outdoor deck/entryway that provided us with much needed additional living space. The kitchen she designed for us completely exceeded our expectations. Melanie is one of those rare individuals who is able to think like an engineer and an artist at the same time. It seemed as if she immediately recognized what we needed to do with our space. This required creative interior design ideas to accommodate existing conditions. In addition to serving as our architect, she guided us in selecting colors, lighting, and stylistic features. We had a small space in which to work. She designed a kitchen that was functional, had ample cabinet and counter space, and was visually impressive. We could never have reached such a successful result without her input. One of the aspects we appreciate about Melanie is that she cares. She respects the integrity of the space, the style of the house, and the architecture of the neighborhood. She truly wants her projects to add to the livability of not only her clients but also the community. She is environmental in her choice of materials, and as a result, has impacted all of our additional household decisions. When it came time to replace the siding on our house, we went with a composite siding because we knew that is what she would recommend. We have since moved to a new house and invited Melanie over before our own family. We have a number of projects we hope to complete in the future and we would never use anyone else besides Melanie.”

“Jim was very professional he spent many hours with me on the phone and on join. Me to make sure that I was completely satisfied he took lots of pictures of the property and made sure he went back and looked at those pictures with me to give me a good idea of what space we were working with. I am very pleased with Jim's performance and his attitude and his work I would definitely hire him again.”
Rill Architects
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Sep 28, 2012
“In my opinion, Rill Architects is the top residential architectural firm in the Washington, DC Metro area. I've followed their work online and enjoy seeing their amazing projects published in local luxury publications, as well as national magazines. I've met Jim Rill and his team and they are very approachable. If I ever had a need for an architect - for a new home or renovation - Rill Architects would be the company I would call. While I know they can design any style of home, I've admired their green projects as well as the way they take the environment into consideration on each project. You can tell by the way the house sits in the setting. Well Done Rill Architects!”
Tina Colebrook Architect
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Aug 21, 2013
“"We have worked with Tina on several projects. As the lead architect working on a kitchen design, she never fails to quickly determine the needs of the project and put the design we have envisioned with our client into motion. We’ve been so pleased with her level of professionalism and team approach. Tina is an expert in her field and translates the vision our client desires with expertise. She structures the design process with regular meetings, including the homeowners, contractors and subs if needed, which prevents mistakes and delays to the schedule. We highly recommend her!” SMITH & THOMASSON INTERIORS Severna Park, Maryland”
Jonathan Rivera Architecture
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Nov 17, 2014
“Working with Jonathan Rivera on our custom home has been an incredible experience. We have worked with other architects, but Jonathan has exceeded our expectations in that he understood our direction, but improved upon it tremendously. His passion for our home, and his understanding of how to take all the facets of our project (our unique lot, our budget, our likes) and sketch out the home of our dreams is amazing! Jonathan's experience in all facets of custom home design has made what could be an incredibly over-whelming process truly delightful. Highly recommend!”
Catherine Lowe ASID Interior Planning Design
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Jan 14, 2017
“Catherine Lowe is an extraordinarily gifted designer. Her talent, knowledge and experience have brought so much to our project that I don't know where I would have been without her. Her eye for color is absolutely amazing. The best thing about her, though, is that she brings your vision to life and does not force her personal esthetic.”
Allbright Bullock Architects
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Jul 23, 2014
“We had just purchased a very prominent corner lot in the Historic District of Lewes, DE. While looking through magazine after magazine, we came across an award feature displaying a house designed by Kirk Allbright. After seeing the house he had renovated for himself in Severna Park, we knew we had the Architect to design our cottage. Kirk and David carefully listened to our thoughts on how we envisioned our new home, and our budget requirements, and simply hit the ball out of the park. The result was a home that has been featured in both House and Christmas Tours in Lewes, and lives like a dream.”
SPIRE Architecture
Annapolis, MD Architects and Building Designers
Oct 10, 2014
“It was my pleasure recently to work with Spire Architecture while building a custom home on the waterfront in Annapolis. My client already had a relationship with Kurt, and asked if I would be comfortable working with him in the design of their custom dream home. After meeting with him, I knew we would work fabulously together. I was certainly not disappointed! His design knowledge and ability to bring the customer's vision to light were second to none. Later through the project, Craig joined the team, and brought with him a keen insight on making a project stand out and shine. I look forward to many more projects with Spire and couldn't recommend them higher to anyone looking for a special hands on design approach that will exceed your expectations.”

How do I find the best Annapolis architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Maryland subcontractors, which can include the builders, engineers and landscaper. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Annapolis 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 architecture firms in Annapolis, MD 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.

What sort of process can I expect from a residential architect?


As far as the process goes, the architecture firm or individual that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. There should be plenty of meetings between you and your building designer until you have agreed upon a design that you are completely happy with. Always keep in mind that the designer will have building codes to follow, and likely pre-existing design limitations when dealing with a remodel, so while they might not be able to execute your exact ideas they always have your safety and aesthetics in mind. One of the most important duties of a residential architect is to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors, so you can expect them to be present throughout the entire building process to ensure everything is executed as planned.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have somewhat of an idea of the style of house architecture that you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Residential architects in Annapolis, MD are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective Annapolis 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?
