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

    Ideo Architects
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 20, 2016
    “Origin architects is an amazing architecture firm, focusing on detail and creativity that makes every project unique! As an interior designer I loved the amount of detail that went into this home. Not only the interiors but exteriors as well. Also the fact that they take "the views" heavily in consideration masked all the difference. The luxury home has beautiful golf course views from nearly every room / window in the home. The outcome was georgeous and the homeowners couldn't have been happier! I believe that Javier and his team truly captured their dream home!”
    Jay Baker Architects
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 18, 2017
    “We just completed a major remodel on our home with Jay Baker Architects. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The entire team was extremely professional, diligent and hard working-not to mention really nice people. They stayed true to the historical significance of the house while also making it more modern and livable. We are so pleased with the final outcome and highly recommend these amazing architects.”

    M+A Architecture Studio
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 14, 2016
    “We have worked several times with M+A Architecture Studio. They are professional, courteous and great to work with. Not to mention the homes they design are some of the most beautiful homes we have seen in Houston, and we see a lot. We look forward to working with them more in the future.”
    Whiteley & Whiteley
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 31, 2014
    “We had built homes before and this time we were looking for someone who could not only build our home, but work with us from design concept through completion. A friend recommended Whiteley & Whiteley because they are a design/build firm. David turned our ideas into a cohesive design, encompassing all the details we requested. During construction, Diane worked closely with us to ensure that our vision for the home was realized by carefully coordinating materials, colors, etc. The products were carefully researched and my husband and I were allowed to make our decisions based on standards as well as cost. We were kept informed of our costs and budget throughout the process and are very satisfied with the financial accountability of the Whiteley team. More importantly, during the construction process, the Whiteleys became more than our builders; they became our friends. -Ruben and Francine Hope”
    J Hannah Design Group LLC

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 7, 2021
    “J Hannah Group did a great job designing our lake house. They were easy to work with & were available day & night with any questions or changes that we had along the way. They made the process quick & easy! We would definitely use John & Joey again.”
    RD Architecture, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 10, 2011
    “The RD team are outstanding. Despite the trepidation of re-building, RD made it a true pleasure, fun and extremely rewarding. They were partners in the process, and stood by us at every turn, at every decision and they brought with them gobs of creativity, insight, ideas and professionalism. We highly recommend them. Kelley & Ken”
    Kent & Kent Residential Design
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 8, 2014
    “I have used Kent & Kent on several outdoor living and homebuilding projects in the Houston area. As one of the largest outdoor living builders in the area (Texas Custom Patios), Allan has helped us out several times on projects that are very complex. Many of the projects on my site were assisted by Allan's design ideas. Can't say enough about the level of expertise and patience K&K brings to the table. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in bringing on a highly professional and experienced hands-on design firm.”
    Design DCA
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 6, 2013
    “We hired Design DCA (David Cox) to design our custom home. The reason we chose Design DCA was because we had previously toured one of his homes. The architecture of the home was unique, open, and with a great layout and flow. We actually loved the floor plan so much that we decided to base our design on it with minor changes made. David added a mudroom and kitchen pantry and redesigned the 3rd floor media space. He also designed all the interior elevation and exterior site plan. David was extremely easy to work with. He's professional, courteous, and very responsive. In addition, his fees are reasonable. We would highly recommend Design DCA for your next project.”
    FORGE CRAFT ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Houston
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 6, 2015
    “Scott Ginder and his team at Forge Craft are fantastic Architects! There are many firms that design beautiful buildings, but few understand how to design for comfort, efficiency, and durability. As a General Contractor, I love working on Forge Craft projects, they truly understand the building science behind the scenes that results in functional, comfortable, efficient homes. I give them my highest recommendation. If you are interviewing Architects, they should be on the very top of your list. They are fantastic to work with, and their projects result in VERY happy clients.”

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

    How do I find the best Houston 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 Houston 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 Houston, TX 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 Houston 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?
