    Studio Z Architecture
    Architectural Designers in Detroit
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 21, 2012
    “Studio Z was the architect on a large home remodel project in which I was the interior designer. It was great working with Dawn. She was very easy to communicate with, very personable, and very open to collaborating with me on design ideas. I know that the clients on this project spoke very highly of Dawn as well. They thought of her as both friendly and professional. The home turned out beautifully and I know that the clients love the end result. They could not have been more pleased with her work. I would highly recommend Studio Z Architecture to anyone.”
    Angelini and Associates Architects
    Architectural Designers in Detroit
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 22, 2013
    “My husband and I originally worked with Brad and Theresa Angelini in 1991 when we bought our home. We did a whole house renovation. In addition to detailed architectural drawings they provided three dimensional models showing what the home would look like after the renovation. It was an absolute delight to work with them and a major plus to work with a husband and wife team. Over the years we have worked with them several more times on various projects including expansion of a room through an exterior wall, redoing the deck, roof, and siding, adding additional windows to the home, etc. Each time they have been wonderful to work with. Brad and Theresa are very thoughtful, creative, responsive, practical, genial, and professional. We highly recommend them.”

    MainStreet Design Build
    Architectural Designers in Detroit
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 3, 2012
    “MainStreet Design Build is an extremely talented and professional firm. That's our kitchen in the Baldwin picture. Our craftsman style house was built in 1922. We love it for all of the woodwork and charm inside. We therefore needed a company that would respect and complement the historic style of our home, but update the kitchen with more space and ammenities for the way we function as a family today (kitchens were very small back in 1922!). We got all of that and more. We have incredible cabinetry with custom wood work and we love our eat in area. The kitchen totally flows with the rest of our home, but really is our crown jewel. We still "WOW" friends when they walk into the kitchen - it is absolutely beautiful and timeless and I wouldn't change a thing. MainStreet's incredible vision and their attention to detail are their greatest assets. From the beginning of the project until the end, the MainStreet staff was engaged and focused on us as the customer. We highly recommend MainStreet and would hire them again in a second - they truly are experts at what they do! ”

    “I have worked with Todd, Roger, Jarrett, Michelle and the entire remarkable staff at Young and Young Architects, on two beautiful custom home projects. Their exquisite designs, attention to detail and expertise are second to none. Young and Young Architects provide far more than just extraordinary designs and comprehensive plans, they work tirelessly with their clients, builders, subcontractors and material suppliers to achieve the perfect blend of architectural excellence and uncompromising livability. There are many architectural firms, but none I would recommend more highly and sincerely than Young and Young Architects...they are simply the best!”

    “Tammis is very easy to work with. Her range of taste is quite large. She is extremely professional and has a wide range of ideas to suggest. I am very happy with the basement remodeling project we did together. The basement is stunning. Its comfortable yet has elegant touches that elevated it to quite an upscale environment that maximizes the small space. The use of Shoji doors throughout makes a huge statement with very little footprint. Brilliant design, comfortable space.”

    “Having enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with Rob on several homes, we wholeheartedly recommend CBI Designs for the quality and professionalism of their work. Their attention to both detail and client requirements, apparent within each home, is truly what separates CBI Design Professionals. We look forward to working with Rob and CBI in the near future!

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 14, 2015
    “Patrick is a strong communicator and an attentive listener. He balances both with kindness and confidence. When working with Patrick, the focus is not on himself, but on the client and their project experience, parameters and preferences. Patrick engages his clientele in dialogue to establish a strong understanding of who they are and how they live. I am so thankful to know Patrick and to have welcomed him back to West Michigan since his latest move from Birmingham.”
    Architectural Resource LLC
    Architectural Designers in Detroit
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 13, 2013
    “My husband and I have followed Michael Klement, the Principal at Architectural Resource, at the Ann Arbor home shows and remodeling tours for years. His passion for the work he does is evident in everything he does, and is delightful to listen to during his tours. We've visited every home that has been open for tours and no two are alike. His talent is so broad - from respecting a classic Italianate design, to creating a found-art energy efficient modern masterpiece. He excels at listening to what the customer is looking for and delivering perfection. He blends brilliant design with smart, efficient, architectural engineering. After years of dreaming of what Michael could do for us, we were finally in a position to consider hiring him. He met us at our home and talked with us about our "ultimate vision of living". We can see how this approach could lead to the perfect personalized homes that we had toured. He walked us through the design process and laid out an estimate for pricing. After the meeting I was so energized and excited that it took 2 hours to fall asleep (it was way past my bedtime!). Ultimately, we couldn't find a piece of empty property with the location / features we wanted for a price that would allow us to build new with Michael. So we purchased a home with "potential" and are saving up for the chance to do a remodel/rebuild with him on this property. We wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.”

    Architect or Building Designer FAQs
    The duration of an architectural project can vary widely depending on its scope and complexity. A simple home renovation may take several months from design to completion, while a new construction project could last from one to three years. The design phase typically requires several weeks to several months, factoring in time for revisions and approvals. Communication with your designer will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
    Architectural Designers stay informed on the latest materials and design trends through continuous education, industry publications, and networking with suppliers and manufacturers. They select materials based not only on aesthetics but also on durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Designers work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring the selected materials and trends reflect their tastes while remaining functional and within budget.
    Homeowners should start by defining their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration images or creating a mood board can help communicate your vision to the designer. Itʼs also important to research local zoning laws and building regulations. Preparing a list of questions and concerns for your designer will facilitate a productive initial consultation. Ensuring you have a clear understanding of the design process and what is expected from both parties will help streamline the project.
    Architectural Designers are trained to anticipate and mitigate common challenges such as budget constraints, unexpected site issues, and regulatory compliance. They employ strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and effective communication with clients and contractors. Open and honest dialogue throughout the project helps ensure any challenges are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimizing delays and additional costs.
    Many Architectural Designers possess the skills and knowledge to assist with interior design aspects, creating a cohesive aesthetic and functional flow throughout a home. They can provide services ranging from space planning and furniture selection to the specification of interior finishes. However, the extent of their involvement in interior design varies, so itʼs important to discuss your expectations during the hiring process. For projects requiring specialized interior design, collaborating with a professional interior designer might be recommended.
    When selecting an Architectural Designer, look for qualifications such as a degree in architecture or a related field, licensure (where required), and membership in professional organizations like the AIA. Additionally, a strong portfolio demonstrating relevant experience, testimonials from past clients, and evidence of continuing education are indicators of a dedicated and capable designer. Itʼs also essential to choose someone with good communication skills and a compatible approach to design and project management.
