Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2013
“Aude is an excellent professional. Her designs for our project are wonderful and she is exceptionally proficient. She listens to your wishes and magically interprets them into a comprehensive and detailed design. I highly recommend Architectural Design Studio for your next project.”
Full House Designs
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cottonwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 9, 2023
“Full House Designs designed two houses for me recently. The plans were easy to understand and were permitted through the County very quickly with minimum comments. I like working with Full House. My questions are always answered, usually the same day. They have a 3D modelling software that provides snapshots walking through the design so that you can get a really good idea what things will look like before they are built. The architect has a penchant for recommending high end materials that can make a project look really great. I am using Full House Designs for my next project.”

Matt has a wonderful gift of communication and listening to what the home owners wants and need. He is a rare find in the technology driven world. He has created our home into artwork with pen and paper which we will proudly dispay for a lifetime. Thank Matt, Wendy, Peter & Alina Rella”

Headwaters Architecture PC

T. Michael Hadley & Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cottonwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 13, 2014
“T. Michael Hadley & Associates designed our custom home in Santa Fe, NM. The architect took our rough idea sketched on a scrap of paper and turned it into a masterpiece! Though he offered many ideas and suggestions, it was clear that the architect wanted this to be OUR home just the was WE wanted it. The process was efficient but with plenty of opportunity for us to be involved. The architect did a great job managing through complicated city regulations and community association rules to create a home with just the look and feel we were seeking. He worked well with the builder and other professionals involved in the construction of our home to solve problems and move the project forward. He was professional, creative, skillful and always a good listener who took time to answer questions, give suggestions, and consider alternatives.”
Valdez Architecture - Interiors
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cottonwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 28, 2013
“I hired Valdez Architects to design a modern mountain home and was very satisfied with their work. Not only does Freddie Valdez create some great architectural designs, but he was instrumental in the successful completion of the construction portion. Freddie was actively involved in the build of the house and made sure the project went according to the plan. He was a pleasure to work with and not only would I recommend him to friend and family, but will use him for future projects.”
Paul R. Walter, Architect, PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cottonwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 11, 2017
“Paul was the architect for a large extension of our house, involving a new garage, breezeway, 2 additional bedrooms and baths, in a mother daughter arrangement. The new addition needed to meet an wide array of architectural requirements due to strict local code, but also from an esthetics perspective. Paul worked with us, listened, provided great suggestions and via an iterative process designed a fantastic looking end product for which it looked like it was always built that way from day one. Paul also worked closely with the builder, providing in the end a great experience. We will use Paul again for our next project.”
Nanke Architecture + Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cottonwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 7, 2019
“We recently hired Nanke Architecture + Design to design our new home in Arizona. After interviewing several architects in the area, we immediately connected with Nanke and felt they would be the perfect fit for us. They have a great reputation, are very knowledgeable, and had some wonderful, creative ideas for our design. During the interview process, we were very impressed to see an example of a project they are currently designing. The plans were very thorough and detailed, and the team had provided renderings that we could not believe were not photographs. We also loved the fact that their interior designers are included in the process. We're getting ready to start working with them to select all of our finishes. We have been very impressed with their timeliness and responsiveness, their ability to listen and implement our ideas into our home, along with their communication and professionalism. We could not be more happy with our decision to work with Nanke Architecture and Design. They have been able to deliver a beautiful home that is everything we wanted and so much more.”

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

How do I find the best Cottonwood 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 Arizona 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 Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood, AZ 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 Cottonwood, AZ 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 Cottonwood 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?
