“Marcia Lyon is a miracle worker! I had been followong her articles on "remodels" in the St. Paul Pioneer Press for quite some time. I really appreciated her no non-sense, use what you have approach. We decided to hire her to design a 20 x 27 ft. Master Bedroom Suite addition to our 1950's vintage house. She spent two hours with us touring the complete house, asking questions, drawing plans until she came up with the PERFECT one. We loved it! She gave us tips on how to find a contractor to do the work. Marcia knows her stuff! It was very fun to actually see our plan in the Pioneer Press! Marcia is a very pleasant person and easy to work with. We very much enjoyed working with her.”

“We did a complete renovation of a late 1800's main street building in order to open up a pet store. Concepts In Design did all the design work for the outside as well as the interior of the pet store. They were fabulous to work with! Their design makes us unique to the industry and our building became a main street attraction!”

“My husband and I are building our dream house to retire in. We are so pleased to have chosen Imprint Architects to help us with our design. To get a good design, the architects really must be good at listening and inserting the things they think you would enjoy and cutting waste that you wouldn't really use. Imprint Architects went above and beyond to help us make every detail of the house something we will enjoy. They helped us find ceiling structures we would never know about and numerous architectural features that personalizes our home for us such as arches in the wall and copper ceilings with uplighting. Their creativity and kind listening attitudes makes all of the difference in the world with how happy you are with your home. They are one of the best. They always are there for you whenever you have questions. The head of the company was just at our sight yesterday to see that everything was being built correctly. Our daughter is building with another contractor "architect". That has been a whole different experience of trying to keep them from putting up beautiful bandaids such as particle board for window trim! To those who are building, no one is more important than your architect who personally protects you and guides your contractor. Imprint does just that.”

Cycle Design Studio

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 31, 2020
“We have had a great experience working with Cycle Design Studio! We had several different ideas and projects for our house and they talked all of them through with us and gave us guidance on what was reasonable and worth the money and what perhaps wasn't. They gave us great guidance on the little things that we would need to consider, ballparks on what they thought things could cost, and help finding contractors that could fit our needs. We highly recommend working with them if you have ideas for updating your home!”

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

How do I find the best Grinnell 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 Grinnell 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 Grinnell, IA 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 Grinnell 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?
