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

GMK Architecture Inc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 9, 2013
“Jim Gempeler of GMK is an extremely talented designer. He originally designed a house for us 25 years ago. Then we had him build an addition. The design, flow and process was seamless. He incorporated the beauty of the outdoors throughout. He is very creative and innovative. Yet sensitive to the tastes, preferences and budget of the client. He is versatile as well, creating designs that reflect the culture and natural setting of very different regions of the country. We could not be happier with the result. As a result we have a new house and a lifelong friend.”
Guideline Studios, LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 26, 2019
“Mike was able to design us the kitchen we wanted and was very easy to work with. He asks for needs and wants and quickly implements the ideas into the plan with an excellent turnaround time. His services are professional, friendly and without pressure. His goal was to design us the best use of space. He was able to introduce us to our eventual builder and worked well with the entire subcontracted team.”

“Jaque Bethke of Pure Design took my home from the '90s up to 2012 with results far beyond my dreams. Her vision and imagination is amazing and I found their extensive knowledge of construction very helpful in having the project run smoothly.”

udvari-solner design company
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 13, 2014
“We have done two homes with Mark. We have really enjoyed the process and couldn't be more pleased with the finished product. His firm was fun to work with and very accommodating to our needs. Lots of details we would never of thought of on our own without their insight. We would chose them again in a minute.”
Julie Kardatzke Architect, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 2, 2013
“We hired Julie for a "second opinion" on an addition design for our home. The design we had come up with wasn't quite right, and the cost estimate was much higher than we wanted to spend. We told her we were looking for general ideas, and maybe rough concept drawings of a possible new design. She looked at our current plans and photos of our house, and reviewed my comments on the situation. After coming up with several possibilities, she came to our house with her laptop. During the course of a couple hours we were able to work through several scenarios and come up with a new direction that looks better, feels better, and is more in line with our needs and resources. She helped us to hone in on the important issues, and see that it was possible to move in the direction we wanted to go. She kept to the scope of our request for her services, was very helpful, and the cost was reasonable and fair. We were very pleased with her work.”
Melby Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 20, 2020
“We built a new home with the design help of John Melby. He was terrific! He had a lot of great ideas that others had not thought of, kept our construction budget constraints in mind throughout the process, and was extremely fast and responsive. John was able to listen to our ideas and “get on the same page” almost instantly, staying true to our desired style and function. If we build again or even remodel we will definitely use Melby Design.”
Tony Walker, Architect & Associates, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 3, 2023
“I had a great experience working with Tony. Instead of just replacing my cabinets and countertops, Tony was able to design a beautiful and functional space that now has specific zones for cooking, dining and entertaining. The flow of the room is open to the great room which improved the entire space. The sight lines were changed to maximize the natural light and take advantage of the beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Tony worked within my budget and listened to my desires and goals. He suggested changes that I didn't think were possible. These changes made a huge difference in the outcome of the design. The end result reflects my personality, and still retains the architecture style of my 1970's era home. My favorite aspect of the entire experience was that he listened to my needs. He designed the space with my interest and goals in mind. I highly recommend Tony Walker, Architect & Associates, LLC to anyone interested in a home remodel.”
CRB Interiors
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 22, 2015
“I have worked with Bill on multiple projects, large and small, commercial and residential, over the last 10 years. He is skilled and innovative in design concepts, with great breadth in styles and materials, and organizational chops to keep it all on track.. One of our early projects was renovating a house in Europe when neither of us knew the language well, and he was not on-site--only working off drawings and pictures--until after the project was completed! The success of that project speaks to his ability to understand the project and the client's goals, and visualize what the space needs. The fact that I keep going back to Bill for design work is a testament to his design abilities and his interpersonal style.”
DePietro Design Associates
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Madison
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 13, 2016
“As a newcomer to the world of commercial building renovation, we had to rely very heavily on DePietro Design, not only for aesthetic improvements, but bringing the foreclosed property up to 2015 standards and codes as well. We have now been open for a year and had incredible compliments on the design features as well as the functionality of the building. Every aspect of the work was done with a very professional attitude, helpfulness and creativity. I would highly recommend DePietro Design!”

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

How do I find the best Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison, WI 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 Madison 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?
