“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 14, 2019
“I recently worked on a project for Wolfgang Pichler Design. As a 30 year veteran in the building industry (a GC now specializing in cabinetry) I was very impressed with Wolfgang's design. His aesthetic was very refreshing, intelligent and on point ! Wolfgang was a great communicator who also respects a fellow professional's input and opinion. A pleasure to work with, and I hope we can collaborate again ! Don Van Dijk Van Dijk Bros. Palm Springs CA”
Ben Nieves at Lowe's Home Improvement

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 15, 2013
“This was my first kitchen remodel and Ben made the process as easy as possible. Because of contractor issues, I needed more than one re-order, and Ben was incredibly easy to work with. He laid out all the options for me, and guided me in choosing what was best for my space. Also, he's just a really nice guy.”

“Ben Aguilar designed our RV building with living as a complete package. He did the entire project form "cradle to grave." The project, thanks to Ben, was a non-event for us.”
Mel Brannon & Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Big Bear Lake
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2022
“Mel is very bright designer. He has broad knowledge of construction and is very patient negotiating with staff at city. He can start work from preliminary design stage and perform complete production of construction drawing. Some times his timing to finish the job needs to be extended. He is very much worth to use his design services. One big and positive thing about him is that he is an honest person.”
Steven Corley Randel, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Big Bear Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 7, 2013
“I engaged Steve in the summer of 2007 to draw up plans to completely re-built my living room/dining room. Design element included sloped ceilings, complete window replacement, new windows, new gas fireplace. The design was thoughtful and innovative. Steve listened to my ideas and enhanced them with his own resulting in a successful, synergistic plan. I hired Steve in 2003 to design a two story addition to my home. The plans included a landscaping, a new approach to my driveway and front door. The result is very handsome. Both project exceeded my expectations. And on both projects, Steve stepped in during construction to correct mistakes made by the builder and resolved issues with inspectors (in my favor). I would hire Steve again without question.”

RL Osborn Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Big Bear Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 25, 2016
“My wife and I wanted to build an outdoor patio that would include a kitchen, family room, dining, and bar. While I had an idea of the layout, I didn't have a clue on the rest. Robert was referred to us by a good friend who had built a similar outdoor addition. What I like most about Robert's work was the drive to completion. He was not a contractor we had to wait on. He had great ideas and was willing to run interference with our contractor if needed. Very happy with his work. John”

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

How do I find the best Big Bear Lake 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 Big Bear Lake 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 Big Bear Lake, CA 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 Big Bear Lake 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?
