“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.”
Aguilar Design Group Inc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2017
“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.”
Steven Corley Randel, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
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.”
Michael Norpell's Wall To Wall
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 3, 2014
“Michael Norpell has been a fantastic person to work with. He came in to a situation with our house that had a nasty, and I mean NASTY pool in the back that had a funky 80's shape and not a lot of hope for it to look good. After surveying the property with me and looking at pictures I had pulled from many different places, he came back 2 days later with perfect drawings of a pool and the setting around it that blew me away. He "got me" in that he understood my vision but was able to take it so much further and better than I imagined. He sought out the subcontractors and supervised all of them throughout the production of the pool, making sure they all knew what the others were doing so that the timing went well. I now have a very envied pool that looks straight out of a high end resort, but at a very reasonable price. Michael also helped me indoors when I first moved in-he helped me figure out where to place a fairly extensive Folk Art collection, helped with new furniture decisions, new kitchen table, etc. His best piece is a fantastic rug he designed using FLOR-he brought a lot of pieces I had together to make a pretty good room into a WOW room. I can not say enough good things about the work that Michael Norpell does. He gets the highest score possible from both my husband and myself!!!”
Wolfgang Pichler Design Inc.

“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”

Hundred Mile House
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 24, 2016
“Duane has worked with a number of my realty clients at various stages in their process, from walking a property before purchasing to discuss renovation options, to designing their dream homes on empty lots. He's a creative, collaborative architect and always a pleasure to work with.”
John Powell Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 3, 2017
“I had John Powell make alterations and additions to my San Francisco Victorian. His changes brought a modern sensibility to the house in such a fashion that his designs respect the original house but are strikingly modern. He converted an added, flat-roofed garage into a structure with a gable matching the one of the house, but he left the new roof rafters uncovered and exposed in a contemporary fashion, prompting a neighbor to ask, "Is it old trying to look new, or is it new trying to look old?" He transformed the traditional interiors into a minimal, modern design by painting the intricate Victorian details and walls all white, and with the contemporary furnishings he selected, the traditional house was reimagined into a modern home.”
Dave Madden, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 30, 2020
“It is always great to work with Dave Madden. His projects are always very professional and completed with the client's intent as the first priority. On top of everything, he always gets the jobs done quickly and makes the City submittals a breeze. Looking forward to many more projects alongside Dave and his Architectural firm.”

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

How do I find the best Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs, 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 Palm Springs 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?
