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

    Simonson Design USA
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 6, 2021
    “After interviewing several architects, we chose Simonson Design to create our dream home at Lake Texoma. We provided our vision, and Alex, our architect, created not only what we envisioned but architectural features that enhanced and went beyond our vision. What is more, Alex exhibited extreme patience with the multitude of changes that we made to the plan. The 3D platform made it easy for us to see exactly where these changes needed to be made. We just received the final plans. They certainly exceeded our expectations. We are elated and cannot wait to build our dream home. The photo is a picture of our property, waiting for our dream home to be built. We could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Simonson Design to create our vision.”

    Bohannon Design Team
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2014
    “After reviewing Direct Home Designs information on Houzz, I decided to contact Wendy. She promptly returned my call. We set up a meeting within the next couple of days to discuss new house plans. After sitting down with her and discussing my "wants" and my attempts to sketch the layout, I knew she was the perfect person to design our new home. She really listened to what we liked and didn't like. She asked questions on how our current house functioned. She brought up items we hadn't even thought about! Needless to say, our new house plans are wonderful. We will be breaking ground soon and I can't wait to post pictures so everyone can see how great Wendy's work is!”
    Symmetry Architects
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 26, 2012
    “We can easily give the highest rating for Clint Pearson with Symmetry Architects as we are ecstatic about the design of our new home! Being neophytes to building a new home, we did not initially understand how Symmetry’s role would integrate with our builder. But Clint listened to our vague ideas of what we wanted (large wine cellar, sport court, minimal hallways, outdoor kitchen, living areas, anticipated layout of existing furniture, split bedrooms, etc.) and created a layout that far exceeded our expectations. For example, he designed a small courtyard with fire pit that we are using constantly. He added groin vaults that add a very dramatic touch to our entry and master with minimal cost. He went room-by-room to design ceilings to meet that room’s personality. His breadth of home design is apparent as the “little details” were addressed. Symmetry worked exceptionally well with our builder. We have now been in our home for several months and we are very much “living” in it. Much of the credit goes to Clint and Symmetry!”

    “I recently used Chase Corker with Corker Designs for my personal residence. Chase Corker worked closely with me and my wife throughout the entire project. He was always available and quick to respond to any questions in the field. Chase is skilled, knowledgable, trustworthy and efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend Corker Designs to my friends, family and Colleagues. My company will definitely use them again on future projects. Cheers!”
    Taproot Studio
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2017
    “We asked Blake to consider turning our tired and well worn lake house into a home we would be proud of and enjoy going to once again. Blake brought us into the present day look of a lovely family house on the water. We rearranged rooms, moved doorways, took down walls and installed a fabulous wall of windows looking out on the lake. He heard us when we described our ideal house and blended his knowledge and creative experience and gave us the absolute perfect lake home. The kitchen, the open den, the bathrooms and the back porch all have the improvements needed with functionality and beauty. We just couldn’t be happier with our new look.”
    Ellyn Amador, Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 8, 2017
    “Complete kitchen and living area remodel as well as master bedroom addition. Ellyn's timeless design helped us gain the full potential of our 50+ year old home. We have storage, open floor plan and flow which were lacking in the original home. Her idea of open shelving in our kitchen is one of my favorite features. Skylights in the master bathroom bring in natural light while maintaining privacy.”
    Distinctive Dwellings - Thayne Hillrichs
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in McKinney
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 27, 2013
    “Excellent architect with creative ideas yet fair and reasonable. He is very responsive. He willingly met with the builder at no extra cost to help brainstorm our plans. Very refreshing personality.”

    The architect will help you throughout the entire process, from initial concept development to managing the construction phase and ensuring everything is built according to plan. They will also collaborate with other professionals, such as builders and contractors in McKinney, to bring your dream home to life.

    By working with a residential architect, you can benefit from their knowledge and experience in creating unique and personalized spaces that reflect your style and lifestyle.

    Consulting with an architect in McKinney early on allows you to bring your residential vision to life in the most efficient and effective way possible.

    1. It’s best to involve an architect early in the planning stage of your project to benefit from their expertise and guidance.
    2. Hire an architect before selecting a builder or contractor to streamline the construction process.
    3. While there isn’t a specific time of year, consider engaging an architect during quieter periods like summer. It allows for more thoughtful discussions, better availability, and potentially shorter project queues.
    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 McKinney 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.
