Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan

skaala architecture, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 22, 2016
“We never intended to live in a dream house. Good, functional, and thoughtful architecture would have been fine. But our home on coastal Maine is so beautifully designed that the builder uses it to advertise to clients! Working with Dave Johnson at Skaala was nothing less than a superb experience. Through the design phase until the last drop of paint, Dave was a reassuring presence. When we moved in we already knew every corner of the house intimately and three years later it continues to give us pleasure and a true sense of home.”

Dominic Paul Mercadante Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 13, 2015
“After looking at several websites, interviewing three architects, we knew Dominic was the one for us. His professionalism, knowledge and personality make him a pleasure to work with. Dominic took some of our general concepts and personal needs and turned them into something wonderful. He even acted as a marriage councilor by resolving differences of opinion between my husband and me that satisfied us both! He was right on target with our budget and met all his schedules.Dominic's attention to detail has impressed all those who visit us. He is as talented in interior design as he is with architecture. Thank you Dominic for creating our dream home!”

“Robert and I went to Architecture school together and I have followed his success ever since. As and architect myself, I love watching the evolution of, and being inspired by his designs. There is a clarity and delicacy to his work that is unique. Talented, practically oriented and willing to work with his clients and others in a collaborative fashion are just a few of the things that make him a fantastic architect.”

“Thanks to Maple Street Design Studio, we had the house of our dreams built. It was such a great experience to work with Joe Russillo...he truly listened to our every want and incorporated it into our home. We came with ideas and he made it happen. Very professional. Explained pricing and very on target with that too.”

“Matthew has been incredible helpful in our research phase of building a home. They've got a good thing going up there in Belfast and more people want a home that is healthy and efficient. I hope that some day we can hire them!”
Brian Reading, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 1, 2016
“We engaged Brian to design and supervise the construction of our lakefront vacation home in Maine, and we simply couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. During the design process, Brian worked efficiently and collaboratively to incorporate our input/feedback on the style, floor plan, elevations and features -- all while staying reasonably within our expected budget for the project. Because we were not local, communication was critical and Brian did an excellent job in that regard. Brian also worked closely with our builder throughout the construction to ensure everything was consistent with his vision and ours. In short, Brian did an outstanding job for us and I recommend him wholeheartedly.”
John Morris Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 13, 2016
“John created a wonderful Maine Beachouse for us to entertain and eventually retire in. Working with strict EPA limitations he created, instead of a typical rectangular home facing south, a home of four staggered rectangles facing the southwestern ocean views. On the main floor, one is awed by the views and entertainment space but is unaware that there is a whole other wing on the main floor for our master bedroom and office. The second floor has its own entertainment space, bedrooms and a screened in room for our large family and visitors. John's tastes are of deep rich architectural details in continuity with modern design with a Maine flavor, from curved nautical doors to copper roofing. John is very confident in his work but also listens to our thoughts. When the DEP refused to allow outer decking on the upper floor we suggested to move a bathroom to an existing reading room and create a screened in room. We were all thrilled with John's redesign. John met deadlines , was on budget and was excellent working with town and DEP officers.”

Midcoast Home Designs
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Canaan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“I met Teresa Simpson, the owner of MidCoast Home Designs, while trying to purchase and renovate two properties in Jefferson, Maine. She was courteous, prompt in her responses, offered me a discounted price on her services to meet my needs and gave me referrals to other contractors in the area. She also took valuable time out of her day to look at them in anticipation of timely completion of the plans. Although I did not win the bid on those projects, I would welcome the opportunity to have her work with me on the plans for my new home in Augusta which should be closing in two months. The next time you are looking for a designer who is both caring AND competent choose Midcoast Home Designs. I recommend her without reservation. Kind Regards, Debora Gorr”

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

How do I find the best Canaan 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 Canaan 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 Canaan, ME 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 Canaan 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?
