“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

A pleasure to work with, and I hope we can collaborate again ! Don Van Dijk Van Dijk Bros. Palm Springs CA”
Michael Norpell's Wall To Wall
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 3, 2014
“Michael Norpell has been a fantastic person to work with. He came in to a situation with our house that had a nasty, and I mean NASTY pool in the back that had a funky 80's shape and not a lot of hope for it to look good. After surveying the property with me and looking at pictures I had pulled from many different places, he came back 2 days later with perfect drawings of a pool and the setting around it that blew me away. He "got me" in that he understood my vision but was able to take it so much further and better than I imagined. He sought out the subcontractors and supervised all of them throughout the production of the pool, making sure they all knew what the others were doing so that the timing went well. I now have a very envied pool that looks straight out of a high end resort, but at a very reasonable price. Michael also helped me indoors when I first moved in-he helped me figure out where to place a fairly extensive Folk Art collection, helped with new furniture decisions, new kitchen table, etc. His best piece is a fantastic rug he designed using FLOR-he brought a lot of pieces I had together to make a pretty good room into a WOW room. I can not say enough good things about the work that Michael Norpell does. He gets the highest score possible from both my husband and myself!!!”
Residential Design By: Jonathan Pelezzare
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 16, 2014
“I hired Jonathan to design my new 5000 Square Foot Home. His performance and professionalism were light years beyond excellent. He spent numerous hours with me going over every little detail on the plans. He not only completed the design plans but also coordinated with the plumbing, electrical, structural, and HVAC engineers for a complete design package. His association with the planning and building department also contributed to smooth going when having the plans approved by the City. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who wants a complete professionally designed plan that includes a personal touch.”
Steven Corley Randel, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 7, 2013
“I engaged Steve in the summer of 2007 to draw up plans to completely re-built my living room/dining room. Design element included sloped ceilings, complete window replacement, new windows, new gas fireplace. The design was thoughtful and innovative. Steve listened to my ideas and enhanced them with his own resulting in a successful, synergistic plan. I hired Steve in 2003 to design a two story addition to my home. The plans included a landscaping, a new approach to my driveway and front door. The result is very handsome. Both project exceeded my expectations. And on both projects, Steve stepped in during construction to correct mistakes made by the builder and resolved issues with inspectors (in my favor). I would hire Steve again without question.”
Peter A. Frazier
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Palm Springs
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 23, 2018
“My wife and I met Peter in 2017 and decided to have him handle the architectural design for the interior remodel of update of our mid-60s modern. We had very specific ideas and requirements for the project. Peter exceeded our expectations in every respect and out of necessity, came up with creative alternatives that kept our remodel on-budget and feasible. Peter is very receptive, friendly, respectable and capable. Professional in every respect, I have no reservation in recommending him to others and I intend to recruit him again for a garage/art studio project that I envision for the future. Construction is currently underway and I'll post before and after photos upon completion, so check back periodically for the updates.”

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

How do I find the best Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs 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 Palm Springs, CA 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 Palm Springs 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?
