    Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Highlands Ranch

    TKP Architects
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Highlands Ranch
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 18, 2013
    “The architects at TKP have great vision and practical ideas. I had spent months working with another architect to design an addition to our 55-year-old home but nothing clicked. Then Karen Keating looked all through our home, sat down and in a matter of minutes roughly sketched out a plan which included a dining nook, den, office, bath and storage room. I knew we'd found the firm with which we wanted to work. Everyone that we worked with at TKP was respectful of our ideas, and then made them even better. We love our three-year-old, 1000 square foot "new" space. It flows beautifully with the original house.”

    “Alison and Anna are wonderful ladies to work with. They have a great eye for design and understand how to get the most out of the space you have to work with. Their drawings are detailed which makes it easier for us as builders. Our company CCM, LLC (general contractor) has worked on few project with HQ Architects. Our most recent project was a custom home in Hill Top. We love working with these ladies and can't wait for the next project.”

    Lauren Shadid Architecture + Interiors
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Highlands Ranch
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 23, 2014
    “Lauren Shadid designed the remodel of my home to expand the kitchen and open up the family room, and make use of our space more efficiently. She was very thorough and diligent in her work and was very conscious in keeping within our budget. She works very well with contractors and is always available when she is needed. She was always very response to my questions and concerns. Her background in interior design is a huge bonus as she was very helpful in helping me choose colors and tile. Lauren also helped design my backyard space. We live on sloped lot and she was able to design a pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, and lounge area, whereras before we had a basketball court above the main patio area that was never used. We don't have a finished yard yet, but I can see the transformation and how much more we will enjoy our new space.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 24, 2020
    “I pretty much knew want I wanted to do with my project. I warned Ellen I knew enough about architecture to be dangerous. Ellen recognized my requirements and was instrumental in identifying other considerations needed for the project. Included was a need for a code variance (setback). I was informed by the city, before starting the project, a code allowance(variance) was not required. Ellen’s code research was right. A code allowance was required. With her help, the review board approved the code allowance request unanimously. Our project involves bumping the attached garage eight feet to allow for a utility room between the garage and house. The design includes moving the washer and dryer out of the basement. As simple as the project sounds, there is a lot involved. Ellen listened to my wife’s concerns and ideas on the project. Together we achieved a very efficient design. We are now in the permit and construction phase of the project. I am looking forward to Ellen’s input. Ellen deserves your serious consideration.”
    Root Architecture and Development, LLC

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 19, 2016
    “Root Architecture and Development's amazing designs are what enticed me to working with Zeke on my newest residential development project. Before we got started, I hired Zeke to do a feasibility study on my lot to help me conceptualize what I could actually build there. After meeting Zeke on site, I was told I'd have the results of the study within a week and true to their word, I did! We went over the plans in person with great detail and I was quite impressed with my whole experience, from start to finish, in working with Root Architecture and Development. Even though I ended up selecting a different architect due to prior relationships and projects, I look forward to working with Zeke in the near future!”

    “How many times in life do you get a service that is thorough, creative, timely and complete? Jim provided all of this and more. Jim was a pleasure to work with on our project. He came up with creative solutions to our requests that we wouldn’t have been able to come up with on our own. To top it all off, Jim was a pleasure to work with on this property. We experienced no ego and we received invaluable input for our remodeling project. We are thrilled with our results and with the services that Jim provided!”
    Arcadea Architecture

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 5, 2014
    “David Biek from Arcadea has worked on two projects for us. The first project was restoring a beautiful multi million dollar 4 story grey stone in Chicago. The building was a classic old building in disrepair. David's design work brought the building infastructure into the 21st. century yet he maintained the old world charm. Thanks to the remodel, the building is renting for top dollar. The second project David did for us was some remodleing at our home in Boulder. After the 2013 floods, we had some serious repairs to make on our bottom floor. David redesigned the worst, ugliest bathroom in our home and made it wonderful.The bottom floor has never looked better. You can trust David. He's careful, fair priced, thoughtful, imaginative, and always has good follow through.”

    “Chip came up with some beautiful designs that made the best use of a difficult space. He is a real pro. Chip listens to the clients desires then "stretches the dream" to a place that others might not have thought of. He knows the local codes and zoning parameters and makes everything work smoothly with local building jurisdictions.”
