“Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 26, 2015
“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”
Entheos
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Honolulu
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 13, 2020
“Victor "Dean" Sinco is an excellent architect and he has an excellent team of drafts-people at Entheos. He is both creative and practical. He comes up with ideas that look good but are also cost-effective. He knows how to make new construction match original construction. He is great at supervising the work and coming up with solutions on the spot for any problems. He has always responded to me in a timely way. He has done both large and small projects for me. For one large project, he designed a guest suite addition to my house that added a laundry, kitchen, and screened porch to an existing bedroom and bath. At the same time he designed a roof extension, a new laundry room plus a solar water heater room, and a complete renovation of two bathrooms, one of them handicap. A few years later, he turned a walk-in closet into a half-bath plus a smaller closet and turned garage storage into interior storage. Recently, he designed a fence, gate, and lanai for me. I will continue to use him for any future projects.”

“We hired Envision Design Build to help us design our kitchen remodel in conjunction with a large sliding glass door. We knew we wanted to open up the kitchen, add an island and create an indoor/outdoor feel and accessibility to the backyard patio. Envision took the time to create a plan that not only worked well within the space, but also worked best for our family. The project came out better than we could have imagined! Many thanks Gazelle & Parker!”

“It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Deb Rosenblum's architectural skills. When my husband and I purchased our Kailua home, it was in need of a complete renovation. We realized this would be a lengthy project of planning and implementing. Renovating an existing home is a daunting task due to limits imposed by our original structure and footprint of the home. We hoped to retain the charm and update the structure. Our dream was a home that allowed for family and friends to relax in comfort while enjoying our spectacular Kailua Beach. We interviewed several architects all with wonderful resumes. I expect all were qualified but only Deb radiated a sense of excitement and enthusiasm for our project from the moment she entered our home. Deb was eager to tackle every challenge and create the home we envisioned. She listened thoughtfully to our ideas and helped us to bring them to life. In the process of planning, Deb assisted us with computer aids which allowed us to virtually explore the spaces. I enjoy selecting interior finishes and Deb provided great sources from which we could select those materials. Her recommendations included state of the art materials that were durable and beautiful. When we completed the planning stage, we left the project in Deb's capable hands. In addition to designing our home Deb was our project manager. She had a fantastic working relationship with the building team and sub contractors. She also introduced talented experts to us who added custom details that set the house apart. She visited the site often and through weekly calls kept us updated on progress. She was persistent in permitting process and the details of construction. She is a force of positive energy! Our beautiful home is now completed and it is everything we had hoped it to be. Our children and grandchildren have already enjoyed many happy days in the space Deb created. I am thrilled to finally be living in our new home but enjoyed the process of working with Deb. The job is complete but she will remain a friend for life!”

“Exceeded our expectations! H.K. Took the time to get to know us ensuring our home design fit our life style and the area we were building, he was always there for us when ever we had questions and needed help and let me tell you being a first time home builder we needed help Down to the smallest details. Our home was built on a small island in the British Virgin Islands and needed clear detail for the builder and to get proper quantities which is very important when material is delivered via barge. Details including all the lights were picture perfect, now we have a home that is the envy of the BVI's and unlike everyone we know everything works and looks great. I will load some photos to really tell the story of how H.K. was able to make our dream come true.Thanks H.K. And remember our home is your home so take a vacation from your island and come and stay on our island.Sandra”

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

How do I find the best Honolulu 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 Honolulu 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 Honolulu, HI 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 Honolulu 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?
