Nicholas Sonder Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 5, 2013
“I am a contractor who has worked with Nick Sonder and find his plans to have more than the detail needed to build the project. The 3D renderings that he does bring the project to life for the client and give them a clear picture of what is being designed. Nick is extremely creative and is always bringing new ideas to life through his drawings. Nick Sonder is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about all facets of the construction Industry.”

Ward-Young Architecture & Planning - Truckee, CA
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 12, 2015
“Brink Custom Homes has worked together with Ward-Young on several projects including an Arabian Horse ranch and a beautiful custom home used as a ski cabin. The Ward-Young architects are detailed, responsive, collaborative and creative- all great things from the perspective of the builder! They are sensitive to helping us keep both the schedule and budget on track which makes for happy clients. We look forward to future projects with this talented team!”
Lot C Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 22, 2014
“I have worked with Jason of Lot C Architecture many times and often refer new clients to him because he consistently designs a beautiful and functional home. His vision for designing with a contemporary twist on Tahoe luxury homes is amazing to watch and his clients are always impressed. Jason has a talent for listening to what the homeowner wants and getting that into the home design. As a builder of many of Jason's designs, I highly recommend him.”
DK Residential Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 6, 2021
“Fabulous to work with. Practical and experienced, hard to beat the value and creativity. Loves what she does.”
MWA, Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 13, 2013
“The principal architects, Kurt and Kristi, are not only extremely talented in architecture and design, but pay strict attention to what it is that the clients wish in their home or commercial project. So often architects are not adaptable but these folks are. They also make a genuine effort to stay within budget though that is so difficult to control with costs bouncing all over the place and clients changing their minds during construction. For character and ability, I whole heartedly recommend MWA.”
Ryan Group Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 23, 2014
“Crestwood Construction has worked with Ryan Group Architects on numerous projects ranging from modest cabins to lavish luxurious estates. The constant throughout each of these projects is their creative and dedicated approach resulting in phenomenal homes and unparalleled attention to the Owner. The team at RGA brings to fruition the clients vision in a process that's cohesive, enjoyable, and highly professional.”
Ken Roper & Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2017
“Ken is easy to work with and has fantastic local knowledge that came in very handy for my Cabin project. I had a rough time with the design company I was using to draw our cabin plans, called ken to talk about Engineering and ended up ditching the deign company I was working with and had ken do the whole thing. There is a HUGE benefit from having your plans done by an engineering company. Ken is one stop shopping. He also gave great recommendations for Tree Services and contractors. I would hire Ken again for all future projects.”
Todd Gordon Mather Architect

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 14, 2012
“I am a restoration contractor in the Tahoe area. We work with many customers needing guidance and direction when it comes to planning their remodel. Todd has great taste and provides a practical approach while creating a unique and fresh design. He also has proven to be thorough, communicative, and available. I highly recommend Todd and Gary Davis Group as a local resource for your design and engineering needs. Ned Riley President/Contractor Tahoe Mold and Water”
Mountain Concepts
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Downieville
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 28, 2015
“I cannot say enough good things about the team at Mountain Concepts. Dave Spear helped us design an environmentally friendly modern mountain home for our family in Truckee. He took the time to meet with all os, including my kids, to find out what we liked, and what innovative things he could integrate into the home.”

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

How do I find the best Downieville 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 Downieville 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 Downieville, CA 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 Downieville 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?
