Gary Keith Jackson Design Inc.
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers

“We have worked with Gary now on 2 large custom homes. His eye for design is fantastic and he is really great at listening to the homeowners and putting their words into beautiful architectural plans. We highly recommend Gary and his team.”

Origin Architects
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers
Jan 20, 2016
“Origin architects is an amazing architecture firm, focusing on detail and creativity that makes every project unique! As an interior designer I loved the amount of detail that went into this home. Not only the interiors but exteriors as well. Also the fact that they take "the views" heavily in consideration masked all the difference. The luxury home has beautiful golf course views from nearly every room / window in the home. The outcome was georgeous and the homeowners couldn't have been happier! I believe that Javier and his team truly captured their dream home!”
Eubanks Group Architects
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers
Aug 19, 2015
“I worked with Ed a few years ago and his staff. They did plans for a 6 unit project in the Galleria. The quality of the drafting was amazing, and they ask a lot of questions in order to provide a very detailed set of plans. This attention to detail is rare, and helped to provide me with an absolutely beautiful project. Without that level of detail I am sure we would have run into many more problems; because a 2D set of plans can create a lot of 3D problems if not coordinated properly. And Ed and his team asked all the right questions to get the information they needed to ensure the 2D plans translated into a 3D set of homes without issue.”
Design DCA
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers
Sep 6, 2013
“We hired Design DCA (David Cox) to design our custom home. The reason we chose Design DCA was because we had previously toured one of his homes. The architecture of the home was unique, open, and with a great layout and flow. We actually loved the floor plan so much that we decided to base our design on it with minor changes made. David added a mudroom and kitchen pantry and redesigned the 3rd floor media space. He also designed all the interior elevation and exterior site plan. David was extremely easy to work with. He's professional, courteous, and very responsive. In addition, his fees are reasonable. We would highly recommend Design DCA for your next project.”
Kent & Kent Residential Design
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers
Feb 8, 2014
“I have used Kent & Kent on several outdoor living and homebuilding projects in the Houston area. As one of the largest outdoor living builders in the area (Texas Custom Patios), Allan has helped us out several times on projects that are very complex. Many of the projects on my site were assisted by Allan's design ideas. Can't say enough about the level of expertise and patience K&K brings to the table. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in bringing on a highly professional and experienced hands-on design firm.”
Albarran Architects, LLC
Houston, TX Architects and Building Designers
Jun 28, 2016
“We have been working with Albarran Architects on what was first going to be a remodel and addition to our home, but has evolved into a full tear down and rebuild. Through all of our planning sessions, Franco has been patient and very knowledgeable in answering our questions. He has many years of experience with design and is very knowledgeable about construction, so he was able to incorporate all of our needs and wants into his design of our home. He has taken all of our suggestions and requirements into account in his design and has created what we think will be the perfect home to fit our family and lifestyle. I would highly recommend Albarran Architects to anyone looking for an experienced architect to design their home remodel or rebuild. He is honest, dependable, creative, and very knowledgeable.”

When we met on Yesterday he was on time and gave me great incite on my project. He also took out time to find me company's that can help fine the size of land I needed without for sale signage.

How do I find the best Houston 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 Texas 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 Houston 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 Houston, 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.

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 Houston, TX 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 Houston 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?
