    “Glen is absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to hire him for my next project. He has such great new ideas”
    Donald S. Richardson AIA
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Providence
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 21, 2019
    “Don Richardson was such a pleasure to work with as his design, creativity, knowledge and professionalism were brilliant. Several times, Don went the extra mile (literally) to bring samples, discuss decisions and patiently explore alternatives. His rapport with the crew was fabulous and led to very smooth execution of the project, basically a guest house on our property for our extended family. Don designed the bedroom of our young grandson as a totally sweet cabin room with a stunning view of the trees around it. Our grandson woke up the first morning in his new room, whispering to his mother that he was in the middle of a forest!”

    “We worked with Foley Fiore Architects on a custom home in a suburb west of Boston. As the general contractor's site supervisor I worked very closely with them and can attest that their approach is collaborative, solutions oriented and client driven. Their staff is highly professional and pays tremendous attention to detail and client service. We look forward to working with them again.”

    “Nick is currently helping me design a 'tiny home' in Southern California. In the past months he has drafted several designs that are typically more and more amazing as we work through it. He listens to your requests and has an extremely amazing artistic talent to think outside box and design something that is truly unique.”
    RBL Architects

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 31, 2017
    “We have used Rich Levey of RBL Architects for 4 major renovations in our past two homes. His designs are creative, thoughtful and sensitive to our needs. His ability to predict construction budgets is spot on. He saved us money, time and energy by keeping our design within budget and within our wishes. We would only use Rich for our future design projects and would recommend him without reservation!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 1, 2013
    “We have worked with Carl Solander on several projects (large and small) on our 3 family in Brooklyn, NY. He helped us with a full basement reno, 2 bathrooms, and outdoor deck work. We were extremely impressed with his comprehensive knowledge of materials. His designs are modern and beautiful and a pleasure to live in. And lastly, he is awesome to work with- great listener, great work ethic. We have recommended him to several friends who have all been very happy. We are about to use him again on our biggest job yet and are so excited to see the results.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 18, 2014
    “I worked at A4 Architecture for 5 years. During that time I worked closely with the firm's principal and staff. A4 Architecture always went above and beyond in their efforts to provide the possible best design while paying close attention to the client's preferences and needs.”
    Helios Design Group
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Providence
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2014
    “Home renovations are extremely stressful - especially the renovation of a diamond-in-the-rough hundred-year old house in a neighborhood with many fine examples of well-preserved hundred year old houses. I looked at the result of several renovations before hiring Carol - what was obvious in her work was a deep understanding of the technical challenges as well as a love of understated, elegant design and an eye for detail. I made the right choice. Carol's sensitivity, approachability, and unflappable resolve rescued the project. The architectural elements that Carol recommended have drawn admiration in the neighborhood, without overwhelming the original character of the house. Mission accomplished”
    Michael Huller Architects
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Providence
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 8, 2013
    “Michael does a great job of listening to what you want and then translating that into a plan. He has a great eye and understands from a practical standpoint how people will flow through a space. While MIchael's tastes are on the modern side, my taste is more "transitional" and Michael has been able to do a great job of taking my preferences and making them work. Having said that, he has a great eye, and I almost take his recommendations and have been happy I did. MIchael is very responsive and will take all the time needed to revise a plan so that every detail is accounted for. In my almost 10 years post renovation, I have recommended Michael to 5 sets of friends who hired him and they have all been very happy with the results and have gone on to recommend him as well. Michael is sensitive to budgets, knows how to communicate with contractors, and regulators (i.e, City hall) and on top of all that, from a client perspective, he is very pleasant and eager to please. He does not disappoint.”

    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 Providence, 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. They will guide you through the design and construction process, making sure that your home is not only visually appealing but also practical and safe.

    Consulting with an architect in Providence 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 Providence 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.

    • Do you have professional liability insurance?
