Indwell Architecture & Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam

Sherri L Weaver Design LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2015
“We used Sherri to design our custom home in Pleasant Hill, MO. She allowed us to create at our own pace and listened to our needs. She was easy to work with and continues to work with our builder and subs, at their request for assistants, during the building phase. Sherri took action to do her research when we had questions that fell outside her expertise. Our builder praised her work and commented that he would recommend her to other homeowners. She provided us with a 3D view of the interior of the home, which really helped us to visually see her custom design. She met our deadline and budget agreements.”

Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 25, 2016
“David and I have collaborated and worked on several projects together dating back to when we first started our company up to just recently. David is a very hands on architect and takes pride in making sure every detail is carefully designed throughout the project. He is especially great with modern and contemporary style homes where crucial elements within the house that normally get overlooked are very much highlighted. David also makes himself part of the team whenever we work together. When I have a project that requires a very highly skilled architect that knows how to build as well as design I call on David.”
Bickford And Company
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 19, 2015
“I have worked with Bickford and Company on many projects over the past few years. As a Landscape Architect, I truly respect and appreciate their creativity, as well as how easy they are to work with. They have fantastic communication skills, and are extremely sensitive to their clients needs. I believe they are one of the best residential Architects in the Mid-West.”
RDM Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2013
“Rick led his team on our project to find innovative solutions to our "wish list" that we could have never dreamed of on our own. They created a whole house Master Plan with us and then subdivided that into logical phases. We completed Phase 1 in the Fall of 2012, and we couldn't be happier. The newly expanded spaces, as well as the smaller renovated spaces, all feel fresh and timeless and perfectly functional for our small family. The work included a bump-out expansion on the front of our home which grew the size of both our Master Bedroom and our Guest Bedroom. We also transformed two side-by-side reach-in closets into a walk-in closet and a separate laundry room encased in a new bright and sunny rear facing dormer. Future phases include removal of a load bearing wall to combine two small living spaces into a single, larger space we can entertain in, a renovated Guest Bath, and a brand new Kitchen, among other things. We look forward to starting Phase 2 with RDM Architecture in the early winter of 2015.”

McHenry Shaffer Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 21, 2014
“Mchenry Shaffer knocked it out of the park for my wife and I on our home in the country. The attention to detail was something our builder said you just do not get from other architects and said that he would be using them in the future again.”
Keith Mueller Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Merriam
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 23, 2014
“We have had the pleasure of working with Keith on two separate projects for our home—a front porch addition and a kitchen remodel—and, in both cases, were incredibly impressed with is design work. It was important to us to hire someone who would respect the historical character of our house and neighborhood, yet who was able to incorporate new design elements and a fundamental understanding of the needs of a modern family into the plans. Keith listened to our ideas and came back with designs that blew us away. His concepts were innovative, cohesive and infinitely more functional than anything we could have imagined. When it became time to begin the build process for these projects, Keith went above and beyond the norm and was more than willing to make himself available to our contractor to discuss and help resolve any questions that arose along the way. The end result of his design work has been a joy for our family. Each time we pull into our driveway, we are still struck by how welcoming our home now feels thanks to Keith’s vision. Our favorite comment about the new kitchen layout was: “It’s amazing how much space you added without adding any space!” And the compliments on both projects from friends and folks in the neighborhood just keep coming! Keith is talented, dedicated and a true professional – we look forward to working with him on our next home improvement endeavor.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 6, 2013
“Lisa has handled several projects for me, ranging from my 2 homes (1 remodel and one home custom built, which she handled the design for the entire house) to 2 offices. She has always been thorough, creative, respectful of my own personal vision as well as bringing new ideas to the projects. The largest project was my house. The most recent project was an office, which was completed in November of 2013.”

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

How do I find the best Merriam 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 Merriam 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 Merriam, KS 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 Merriam 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?
