Shaw Architecture LLC.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 3, 2014
“We used Shaw Architecture when we built our home in Santa Fe in 2005. We also used them when we added a casita in 2012. Steve Shaw was a professional in every way. His plan for our home met our needs completely. We love living there. He made wonderful suggestions and when problems arose he was creative in solving them. We have complete confidence in Steve's abilities and trustworthiness. He wants to satisfy his clients and is a pleasure to work with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 28, 2016
“Henry Architects took the time to understand what we wanted in connection with a challenging home expansion and remodel project and then produced unique and insightful plans to accomplish our goals. I cannot speak highly enough about the skills, responsiveness and overall professionalism of Alix Henry and her team.”
A Christopher Purvis Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 17, 2016
“Christopher designed our dream home. He was patient, knowledgeable, easy to communicate and work with, a true professional. He listened to us, and incorporated OUR ideas, not just his own. He is a man without ego--the perfect type to work with. He carried the project with the builder to the end, and still is available to us when we want to pick his brains! If we were to design another home, there is no question----- we would call him.”
Joan Lombardi Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 25, 2014
“My husband and I have been working with Joan Lombardi on different projects since 2004 to present. She has a background in interior and architectural design. Her eye for color is phenomenal. She designed and chose the color wave for a beautiful area rug in our den. Joan drew up plans for our new bathroom/bedroom suite and also drew renderings of original pieces of furniture for our den and bedroom. She is extremely talented and works within a budget. Joan does an excellent job and a pleasure to work with.”
WAMO Studio Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 18, 2014
“We hired WAMO as the architecture firm for our Passive House project. They were great to work with from beginning to end. Our designer, Vahid, was amazing at taking our scattered ideas and putting them into a coherent, beautiful, design. He didn't want to move forward until we were happy, and throughout the project WAMO did an excellent job of balancing our aesthetic desires with our limited budget! Vahid was also great in working with us to find a contractor who could do the quality of work demanded by Passive House within our budget. He clearly explained the trade-offs we were facing between the contractors who bid on our project. He spend a tremendous amount of time in construction supervision. We now have a beautiful, modern, zero net energy "forever home". WAMO gets our thanks and our highest recommendation.”
studio beili
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 19, 2013
“Stephen Beili, and the interns working with him at the time -- Aaron and Calder Wilson, did an extraordinary job of designing the remodel of my 1908 two story Foursquare home in Asheville's Montford Historic District. The building has been badly chopped into two apartments and Stephen, and his team, artfully designed changes to the floor plans that opened the space to ease of movement and light. All work specified was "green" and the end product was, and is, amazing. The home has been turned into a two room B&B and guests repeatedly rave about the "feel" of the house and quality of the remodel.”
Interiors and Functional Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 14, 2017
“I have worked with Cara Leigh of interiors from Aug 2005 to present. She helped with the interior design of the house we built, the new wing and then the guest house. She is creative, fun to work with and always comes up with the most beautiful items at the best price.”
Archaeo Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 8, 2015
“Jon Dick of Archaeo has provided excellent design work, careful communication and compete integrity in working through sometimes difficult team dynamics. The approximately $2M project consisted of a top to bottom addition and renovation to an existing house located in a difficult to access area of Santa Fe.”
Defined Dimensions, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 31, 2017
“Chase was very helpful in finding solutions to the problems that I was having with an addition on my home. He provided excellent drawings and was eager to make the changes that I had proposed. Several times, he re-worked his ground floor layout because "I wanted to try it another way". He did this without hesitation and turned it around very quickly. Exceptional output and ready to go to the county for approval. Thank you very much Chase.”
Christine Fairchild Residential Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in El Duende
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 28, 2015
“Chris designed my dream retirement home for me, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I gave her a very basic sketch of what I wanted and she turned it into a home that is wonderfully aesthetic, extremely creative, and very functional. She has an innovative vision, and drops creative elements and architectural details in exactly the right places. She spent a lot of time with me at the beginning, getting to know my style and my daily routine, which ensured that my house would fit me in all the right places. She stayed involved from start to finish and was quick to alert me when any issues came up during construction. Her attention to detail and ability to meet my expectations was truly amazing. She was professional and gracious to work with. I ended up with a home that is unique, architecturally timeless, and fits in perfectly with the unique architecture of Taos, NM. It completely exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend her.”

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

How do I find the best El Duende 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 El Duende 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 El Duende, NM 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 El Duende 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?
