    PK Architecture LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsOctober 30, 2015
    “Working with PK was great. He understands the customer's needs and is able to bring the vision to life in his blue prints. He is willing to give you ideas and also show you where you can save money. Although slightly pricy, the relationship PK offers with the customer is a great relief as they are available at all times for any questions or ideas! Definitely would recommend PK!”
    Robie J. Wood Architect, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 14, 2012
    “Robie is terrific. We interviewed quite a few architects for this job. Many had great ideas and beautiful plans though they were double our budget. Robie stuck to the budget and came up with lots of great ideas. He was very flexible and creative. We'd use him again in a heartbeat!!!! We love the result and the pictures posted don't do it justice!”
    Clawson Architects, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 22, 2012
    “Very pleased with work from Clawson Architects - Rene, Marvin and their team. Over a number of years they have supported 2 projects at our house - new bathroom, new kitchen and other changes that made the house meet our needs. In the last job, we had ambitious plans, they listened to why we wanted to do it and suggested a smarter, much lower cost approach that gave us exactly what we needed. One innovative idea that no one had suggested in 10 years of our living there until they and it saved me quite a lot of money. Their work is thorough and top notch.”
    Brinkman Architecture, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 4, 2012
    “We have worked with Karen at Brinkman for countless projects; baths, kitchens, whole-house remodels; light commercial spaces, and additions. She is a true professional and has some great ideas for the spaces we are hired to remodel. She is willing to stop by on a moment's notice for questions and advice, which is important for the remodeling that we are involved in. We plan to continue working with her for all of our remodels in the future.”
    Cindy Boerner Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 23, 2014
    “Cindy was our architect for a tear-down/rebuild of our home. My wife and I found Cindy to be very insightful and creative, offerred us lots of options in design, and never expressed concern or hesitation in drafting or constructing some complicated elements we wanted in the home. She brought knowledge, experience and enthusiasm, but most of all comfort to a project which could otherwise have been a stressfull experience. Without question, we would hire Cindy again in the future without the need to go to bid.”

    SCF Architecture, LLC

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 21, 2017
    “We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”

    “I have on several occasions hired architects-designers, but Bob stands out head and shoulders above everyone. Bob listens carefully to your needs, and brings extensive expertise and creativity to his work. Bob created a new walk-in closet for us, and we ended up with a result that exceeded my vision for it — and well within budget.”
    Geoffrey L Gogan, Architect-Planner, AIA
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2017
    “I contacted Mr. Gogan about a condo I own that needed rehab. Mr. Gogan responded very quickly and gave me a great deal of advice without asking for a retainer, or fee. He was extremely generous with his time and advice, reaching-out to permitting and other approval authorities on his own (with my OK, of course). I found/find his advice, insight, experience and initiative very valuable and reassuring. I look forward to continuing to work with him through to completion.”

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

    How do I find the best Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland, PA 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 Portland 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?
