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

Candace M P Smith Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2013
“After interviewing several architects to design a home for us in Rockbridge Baths, VA, we chose Candace Smith. She totally fulfilled our expectations. She was an active listener as well as a creative collaborator. She was able to blend our ideas for a home with the skill and knowledge needed to develop building plans. The end result is a stunning as well as functional home overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. We met frequently with Candace Smith on the building site and in her office to ensure that the house would meet our expectations which included placing the house in just the right location to maximize the views. Additionally, she joined us in interviewing prospective builders and worked with him throughout the construction process. In sum, Candace is a superb architect and it was wonderful to work with her and her staff.”
Outlaw Design Company
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 29, 2013
“Ruth Ellen completed a whole-house renovation (2003) and a screen porch design (2012) for our family. She is insightful, practical, and thinks of things to incorporate into her designs that we never in a million years would have thought of. She's got inter-personal and listening skills that would make a professional mediator jealous--traits that come in handy when managing the expectations and goals of a builder, owner, and even spouses! Working with her has always been a pleasure, and ten years on we are proud to call her our friend as well as our architect.”
Hays + Ewing Design Studio
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 6, 2014
“I'm currently working with Chris Hays on a new, energy efficient, modern farm house. From the beginning of the process Chris has listened to my goals and concerns, and creatively interpreted them into a beautiful and functional home. The space is light and open, and I feel so lucky to be able to soon live into such a special, unique home. In addition, Chris has been very considerate with budgetary concerns and worked with me and the builder along the way to keep to our budget, and in some instances creating additional savings (which I can't complain about!). Chris Hays and the Hays-Ewing team have just been wonderful to work with.”
Patrick Farley Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
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!”
Pillar & Perch: Architects + Builders
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 16, 2022
“Working with Ben Robbins (and the entire team at Pillar & Perch) has truly been a wonderful experience. Throughout our project to design and build a new home for us, they have consistently been knowledgeable, professional, and are a pleasure to work with. After listening to what we wanted and looking at our lot, Ben’s first design was nearly spot on (we only tweaked a few very minor things). That was impressive! Then, throughout the build process, they have gone out of their way to please us and ensure that we’re happy. Ben is very responsive and keeps us informed as to what is going on, and has even found us some ways to save money without sacrificing from the architectural integrity of the project. I highly recommend this company, and would use them again in a heartbeat.”
HEIDI SCHWEIZER, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
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!”
Øesch Environmental Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
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.”

“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.

Heath Wills Home Designs, llc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Shipman
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 27, 2015
“Heath was a pleasure to work with and ultimately gave us everything we were looking for and more when designing our dream home. We had the majority of our architectural plans completed and we asked Heath to take a look at them and give us his input along with some major changes we needed to make to them. We went from a 2 car garage to a 3 car detached garage with an apartment above it and completely relied on Heath's design expertise to design an open breezeway and apartment above the garage. He cleaned up our overall plans for us and fine tuned a lot of details. Heath works quickly, efficiently and uses the latest software developments that allowed us to design our home in 2 dimension and 3 dimension. The virtual 3D of our home brought it to more of a realistic preview that we could walk through before it was actually built. Heath has a tremendous skill set when designing plans and really helped us get to a unified end goal of designing a home we want to live in forever. He had a lot of great suggestions throughout the process and many of the changes were made right in front of us on on the large screen during our meetings. I've never seen an architect do what Heath does! Whether starting from scratch or having a cohesive concept already in mind, Heath can do it all. If we were designing another home we would without a doubt work with Heath again however, since we built our "forever" home, hopefully we won't have to design another home. :) Thanks Heath! -Damond & Dawn”

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

How do I find the best Shipman 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 Shipman 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 Shipman, 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 Shipman 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?
