“MSA San Antonio, provided architectural services for my new home. They are a very capable provider. I have 20 years experience as a custom home builder, but this was my first experience with MSA. The pre-plan meetings with my family were very well handled. The final product and followup was very professional. I couldn't be happier with the home.”

Byrne Haus Custom Home Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Santa Clara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2016
“Steven is drawing the second home for our family. We could not be more pleased with his work. He listens, incorporates what we want, and is very good about communicating with you through the process. I have lived in many homes in my life and my favorite by far is the one Steven drew for us. In fact we loved it so much, he is drawing a slightly modified version for us to build again that take into account the changes in our family. Highly recommend!”
Level One Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 11, 2022
“I was referred to Randall by Travis Nuchia of Trust Builders. As soon as I was put in contact with Randall, he was very responsive and helpful. We conveyed our vision to him and he got to work quickly, turning around a floor plan within the first week! His communication and flexibility throughout the entire process was above and beyond expectations. He even kept it lighthearted and funny while maintaining professionalism. My search for a designer has ended as I'll be using Randall for any future projects.”
Kelley Design Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Santa Clara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 16, 2015
“We hired Traci Kelley to draw up our house plans after considering doing it ourselves, realizing that we had gotten in over our heads. We are so glad that we went with her. I was very happy with her from the first meeting. She listened to what we wanted and gave her own input that ended up being far better than what I had imagined and thought of things that I had not considered. Her expertise was greatly appreciated. I got absolutely everything I wanted and more without any costly back and forth, we did some minor changes to the very first draft and that was it. The finished plans are amazing, we can't wait to see our house built.”

“I have worked with Tony at the Plan Factory for years now. He offers a service that many don't by offering his existing plans for sale. Some of my customers wanted unique houses and needed custom plans. Tony listens to the customers and his prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend him. Dave w/ Houser Custom Homes”

“ZDB never let me down, and they never gave up to their commitment. They also never turned around in the middle of our project and gave me any unnecessary invoice. I'm no stranger to architects, they know the rules, and so do I. I wouldn't have been satisfied by anyone other than ZDB.”

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

How do I find the best Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara, 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.

Questions to ask prospective Santa Clara 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?
