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

Imagine Inc — Home & Commercial Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 25, 2013
“We have had a good experience working with Lester from Imagine Your Home as we went through a home reno project. He helped us from the start when we just had some basic ideas of what we wanted to do. His knowledge and experience in the building industry shone through as we stepped our way through the project. We would certainly recommend him to anyone looking at either building or renovating their home. We took our early 80's bungalow and freshened it up, added a 2 car garage and office, and got a bigger kitchen out of the deal, which was what we wanted in the first place. Lester has been very good at using creative ideas to utilize space in a practical way, and make it look nice at current with 2013.”
Southwood Homes

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 11, 2023
“10/10 recommend! The team at Southwood Homes exceeded our expectations with their swift and efficient design process for our new detached garage. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome, which perfectly complements our home. We highly recommend Southwood Homes for any home design project.”
Studio M
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2018
“Working with Studio M and Marie Marx in particular was a joy from beginning to end . Marie oversaw a significant project including a complete kitchen renovation and addition to second story to transform a small master bedroom into a master suite complete with a sitting room, dressing room and high end four piece ensuite. Marie designed the changes, drew the plans, obtained the building permit, hired the contractor, oversaw the construction, chose the materials and finally completed the interior design. Amazing professional. Considering the size and scope of the project, there were very few glitches and Marie adeptly handled any that did arise. One year later we still love the renovation and would change nothing. I cannot recommend Studio M highly enough to anyone looking to work with a skilled, talented professional with a keen sense of design.”
Redman Watson Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 2, 2015
“We worked with Jo Redman in building our home. She listened to our vision for the space, and then brought them to life in ways that were better than we ever imagined. Jo Redman ensured that our open plan house achieved a cohesive, unified look. She has excellent working relationships with suppliers and trades, which ensured that all parties involved in building our home were pulling together on this project.”
Bens Plans

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2016
“He has built homes and designs for renovations for my family members. Great job and he listened to what was required but also made suggestions that improved the design.”
Whitefish Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 28, 2014
“Our initial meetings with Graham were productive. He worked with our original sketches and produced a quick working budget for us. He was well versed with the regions bylaws and compliance issues and had an extensive understanding of heritage properties. Changes in financial circumstance have put a hold on our project but we know others who have since had excellent experiences with Graham and who too recommend him for large and small scale renovations. Graham Whiting is a brilliant addition to the Region of Waterloo brain trust.”
Bankside Design Studio
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 16, 2021
“Very professional. Design was very well done and is very user friendly! Communication was great, many interactions with Designer and all steps were completed professionally. Designer helped us with the purchase of materials and searches for contractors and other tradesmen to complete project. Very thorough with all aspects of project.”
BLR Drafting & Design Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 13, 2017
“We worked with BLR drafting & design on our new home. Bernie was able to work from our style selected through Houzz photos and put our ideas on paper in an efficient and timely manner. We switched from a two storey to a bungalow during our design and Bernie was able to seamlessly transition our look. Although the project is not yet complete, we have had numerous compliments on the design. We would definitely recommend BLR drafting & design.”
Star Blueprints
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 16, 2016
“This firm is excellent from the friendly staff to the quality drawings in your hand. They have innovative design ideas but are also very sensitive to finding the dream in your own imagination. The details on the drawings make it easy to understand what the Building Code requires and how to make it happen. A big thanks to the professional service you provide!”
Crozier Designs Inc.
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Elmwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 22, 2014
“Kevin Crozier designed our Boathouse with living quarters above. Our footprint was pre-determined by local bylaws, which was a limitation.He listened carefully to our needs, from both a function, direction of light and shade, and style point of view. He put together three very different draft plans, all of which surprisingly, met our criterion. After careful deliberation, we concluded that the plan that we initially liked the least, was by far and away the best for our needs. Kevin stuck to our schedule, and was extremely helpful in evaluating the three draft plans, as per their strengths and trade offs. He was able to be critical from a technical point of view.. He made adjustments to the chosen plan, based on suggestions that we discussed. Kevin stayed within budget throughout the process. During construction, we realized an addition to our design, would add tremendous utility, and Kevin quickly put the addendum together, so that construction was not interrupted. He did a great job for us, and we would call him first for future projects.”

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

How do I find the best Elmwood 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 Elmwood 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 Elmwood, ON 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 Elmwood 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?
