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

TELFORD+BROWN STUDIO ARCHITECTURE
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cougar
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 28, 2013
“Richard and his staff were a pleasure to deal with. He was able, after some mild beatings, to assimilate our ideas and add his own to create a very useful amalgam. We still enjoy his input and appreciation of space. Our error was failing to hire him to supervise construction, in addition to designing the building.”

“We used Breff for our initial design consultation for a restaurant and distillery in Hood River. Breff was great to work with. He was able to take the mandatory requirements I needed and creatively put them into play. Some designers we worked with had too many layers of ego to work through, not Breff. He could hear what we needed and put an architecturally creative spin on a blank idea. Unfortunately we didn't get to use him throughout the entire process as we were required to use a final architect and contractor, but I've seen Breff's work from start to finish and hope to work with him again on my own remodel.”
Sasquatch Architecture

“I have had two separate projects with Sasquatch architecture and both came in under budget and on time. Kris is very responsive and provides excellent suggestions throughout the development of the project.”
spacehouse
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cougar
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 26, 2022
“I connected with John to help restore our newly-purchased 1967 single-floor ranch cottage in Portland, OR. Even during our first interaction, John had a calm, approachable demeanor, and listen thoroughly to my design ideas. He followed through on listening with strong visualization through 3D renderings that made me feel as if I was standing in my home, before we even began construction. His realistic renderings helped us make some necessary design changes to improve the flow of the layout before investing in construction, which ended up being a massive cost-saving for us. Throughout the schematic design, design development, and construction documents phases, John had fantastic communication and was on time, even early, with his deliverables. We will 1000% utilize spacehouse's services again for our next home design project!”

Giulietti Schouten Weber Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cougar
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2012
“We're really enjoying working with the Giulietti/Schouten team designing our new beach home. When we were searching for an architect, we looked at portfolios from many firms and were struck by the breadth and creativity of their work. The combination of artistry, creativity, flexibility, practicality, and attention to detail they bring to their work is really impressive, and has resulted in a design much better than we envisioned. It's particularly impressive when the complicated site and extreme environment of our oceanfront setting are taken into account. We're very happy with the project and feel fortunate to have found this great group of people to work with! Follow-on now that the project is finished: Our home turned out beautifully. They were extremely helpful during the construction phase, helping us with the multitude of decisions and working with our builder to assure every detail was as it was envisioned. We were really lucky to have their team to work with! We give them our highest recommendation.”
Fraley and Company
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cougar
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 2, 2012
“We love the new kitchen, family room, and living room bar that Joel Fraley of Neil Kelly designed for us. After interviewing several other designers, I knew when I first talked to Joel that he understood my home, and what we wanted to do. He worked with us to define the scope and select materials to bring our vision to life. After Joel led us through the design process, the Neil Kelly team followed up with exceptional project management and craftsmanship. Our contractors were talented and professional, showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and were a pleasure to work with. Overall, the project was perfectly on time, and on budget. We had a great experience with Joel and the Neil Kelly team.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Michael on three projects -- to the studs kitchen and bathroom remodels on our home, as well as the building of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (or "mother in law" apartment/800 SF house) in our back yard. Michael has a fantastic eye for clean and timeless designs that match the character of not only the house, but the homeowners as well. While he willingly shares his opinions, we always felt he listened to us and respected both our budget and how we actually live, work and play in our spaces. We have recommended Michael to friends in the past and would do so again in a heartbeat. (As I am mentioning 3 projects, and the space below only allows for one project cost, here is a rough breakdown: the kitchen remodel was in the $50k range, the bath in the $25k and the ADU came in at right around $100k.)”
Christie Architecture LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Cougar
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 22, 2014
“We recently worked with Lisa Christie and her husband Adam in the full scale remodel of a vintage 1950's home in Lake Oswego. They both are extremely enjoyable to work with, highly skilled/professional and always full of creative ideas. Very timely and always eager to help with any troubleshooting issues that may arise. They are a great team and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services for all future projects.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 19, 2013
“I own a small residential remodel company (Old School Renovations, Inc.) in Portland, OR. Marty has provided basic permit plans and full design services for several of my clients. Marty is as eager to work on the removal of a kitchen wall as he is a full two room addition. He has a great eye for detail (duh) and his x-ray vision comes in handy when pre-planning structural changes to a home. I never hesitate to refer Marty to a client regardless of the size of job. You'll love him.”

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

How do I find the best Cougar 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 Cougar 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 Cougar, WA 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 Cougar 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?
