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

Fabl Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 19, 2023
“Ty is extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He turns floor plans, elevations and sketchup around incredibly quick and all very thorough. Would definitely recommend him for any scale project you have!”
Studio S Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 13, 2018
“Sandi covers all bases - she is honest, flexible, amazingly easy to work with, always professional, expertly skilled, tech savvy, and an outstanding listener who also offers valuable advise and "saved the day" solutions when needed. After walking two novices through the process, she delivered final and flawless construction plans to us in mid-2016, and our custom dream home has since materialized, with stunning results. We couldn't be happier. We opted for Sandi's higher tier pricing option, and it was worth every penny. Don't let her pink-trimmed tool belt give you the impression that she's a light-weight!”
Home Design Works

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 20, 2017
“We are completely satisfied with the level of service we received from Home Design Works. Our Tennessee lake home was in need of a face lift and an extensive remodel/addition. Home Design Works had been highly recommended to us by a local builder. They certainly did not disappoint. Matt Lawler took time to completely understand our lifestyle, needs and desires for our home (functionally and aesthetically). Our project presented unique challenges with property setback limitations. His creative architectural ideas, vision and experience were indispensable in making our dream become reality while working within the constraints of our property. We are now living in our recently transformed home and could not be happier with what we have ended up with.”

“We contracted a few interior renderings for a high-end residential condominium project and we were very happy with the results! Maruf was very professional, diligent and made every effort to ensure a great product and great service. Would definitely recommend them to other architecture and design professionals!”
ArchiNerd PLLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 11, 2015
“Last year we purchased a lake home on a narrow lot with a very steep slope. The home's parking was restricted to the basement level requiring navigation of 10 uncovered steps to enter the home. Brent Hunter designed us a beautiful and ingenious addition that allows covered parking and level entrance into our home. The design also allows for older or handicapped guests to easily visit our home . We just love the addition as it allows us to now enjoy our dream lake home well into our twilight years. Thank You Brent Hunter.”
Clements Wimsatt Architects

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2019
“Working with Clements Wimsatt has been an absolute pleasure. I worked with them on several projects - a modern sunroom addition, two new construction homes, and a 10 unit multi-family building. I have been very satisfied with their overall work on each project and I am exceptionally happy with their attention to detail. The drawings they produce are very thoughtful and intelligible - to customers and contractors alike. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a creative, professional, and experienced architect. Five stars!”
W. Michael Davis, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Portland
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 12, 2018
“The first words that come to mind when describing Michael are honest and compassionate. He really was interested in designing our ‘dream home’. His knowledge and experience as an architect was invaluable. If this review included a scoring system of 1-10, he would easily score a 10. We consider Michael and his sweet wife as our newest ‘life long friends’.”

“Derrick is an extraordinary drafter whose skill level distinguishes him above his colleagues. After our initial consult, he was able to draft in a timely manner what I had verbalized. His cognitive skills were adept at understanding my architectural needs, and his keen interpersonal skills made him pleasant to work with during the design process. After Derrick provided a set of working plans, we thoroughly discussed each page of the set, and he was very open to incorporating changes, yielding an amazing final design. I proudly share his work with my family and friends, and they are impressed by the quality of the product, the details presented on each sheet and particularly the great room section, having a vaulted ceiling, accent mood lighting and sleek furniture, which captures the essence of warmth, comfort and style; a space one would want to spend time with those we care about. A house becomes a home when good design captures the imagination and personality of the owner. I can't thank Derrick enough for the value he added to my project. I highly recommend this most talented individual.”

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, TN 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, TN 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?
