Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buena Vista

HEIDI SCHWEIZER, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buena Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 3, 2016
“Ms Schweizer is a consummate professional who is also extremely talented and creative. Her capacity to "think outside the box" and use the resources of traditionalism combined with modern concepts results in a truly unique and beautiful outcome. She also has an unusual understanding of the engineering side of design so one can feel secure that her product is a workable plan that has realistic expectations. I highly recommend her!”
Patrick Farley Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buena Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 26, 2017
“There are many architects and builders but few who have the skill, experience, and vision to design and build a green house. Looking for a modern architect in the area, we found Patrick's website and we got to know him before we hired him. We liked him immediately and never "interviewed' anyone else. We never regretted it. He shared our desire to build lightly, letting the surroundings influence the design and materials. He artfully brokered the inevitable differences of opinion between husband and wife, and we enjoyed the consultative process of working out the design together as a small team. After the design was complete, we were happy to have him build the house, too, which has worked out beautifully. On complicated custom houses, there are many situations where unforeseen circumstances or questions arise, and things move more quickly and smoothly when the person responsible for constructing the house is the same person as the person who envisioned it. The house is not yet complete, but we are currently on budget (more or less) and the product is a work of art. I have suffered through many residential and commercial building projects over a lifetime, and this is the first one I've enjoyed. If you're looking for a person with the sophistication and experience to design and/or build a complicated "dream house," Patrick is your man. And if you're not sure, ask him to take you to our house and show you what he is capable of creating. I think you'll come away a believer!”

Batman Builders Corporation
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buena Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 2, 2016
“John Batman helped me design my house and was the contractor in 2002. He was very helpful all through the process. He listened carefully to what I wanted and made good suggestions. The house was built on time and on budget and with excellent materials that are holding up beautifully over time. The crew was well managed and cleaned the site each day. He even answers question to this day. And helps me find workmen for projects. I was, and am, completely satisfied with my choice to use John Batman to build my home.”

“It truly was a pleasure working with Greg Winkler an architect with Wassenaar + Winkler. I was referred to their company from one of the top reputable builders in Nelson County for my Amherst project. My Amherst client's hired me on as their interior designer. It was a great day when I called Greg Winkler. He has such patience with great attention to detail along with a phenomenal work ethic. His professionalism my client's were also very impressed by. The collaboration between Greg and I along with the client's vision helped create the perfect plans. The end result was a huge success! Thank you again Wassenaar + Winkler for all your knowledge and expertise along with quality work. I highly recommend this architect company and look forward to working with them again.

Øesch Environmental Design

Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2014
“Fred was a pleasure to work with. Friendly but professional. Innovative. Cost and value conscious. He also has a history as a builder and woodworker which is quite helpful. He was very helpful in working with us to finish our design process and because of him we likely have a more beautiful and functional building than we otherwise would have. He was very helpful in figuring out what we could do ourselves and what we should hire out.”

“Pat took on the project of designing and providing all drawings for a garage. We ended up with storage int he upstairs 12 feet wide with special designed rafters. She saved us money by designing a single pour floor. We ended up with 4 garage doors, 3 int he front and one on the gable end. We have water, 220 volt electric, and LED lights. She had everything listed, right down to the screen guards on the gutters.”

Lee Merrill Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buena Vista
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 28, 2016
“Lee Merrill has designed dozens of family friend homes in the area. He designed my parents custom home. It is absolutely beautiful and has exceeded their expectations in the past 16 years of us living here. We have been so happy to have a unique and energy efficient space for so many special family gatherings. There is plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy this home. We look forward to more gatherings as time goes on. Lee Merrill has been wonderful at helping my family adapt this space. He designed the home over a decade - years before we broke ground on the home. Plans were shifted and changed to suit budget as we gave him enough notice to do so. The energy efficiency of the passive solar design has been an incredible asset as the seasons change.”

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

How do I find the best Buena Vista 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 Buena Vista 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 Buena Vista, VA 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 Buena Vista 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?
