    “We worked with Alexandra for a rebuild of our home, upgrading it from a 3bd/1.5 bath to a 4bd/3.5bath while adding a second floor and changing the layout of the house dramatically. We chose Alexandra based on two critical expectations: that she would be good to work with (after all, you spend countless hours with your architect on a very expensive project), and that she would share our philosophy regarding the importance of combining form and function in house design. We were very lucky to have chosen her. Alexandra indeed spent countless hours with us. She paid careful attention to our wishes and needs. She worked patiently through every detail of the house, helping us maximize not only our living space but also important functional aspects of the house. From beautifully located and proportioned stairs to storage for kids backpacks under an entryway bench and built-in cabinets to roof segments and their slopes, everything was thoughtful, detailed, and practical. Alexandra also showed great professional and personal skill in navigating the permitting process, developing a good relationship with the city’s planning department that allowed us to enjoy all the benefits of the zoning code. She was always ready to help and mediate successfully when issues inevitably came up with our contractor. She followed through with everything she said she would in an even, friendly, and professional manner. We are delighted with our home and, truth be told, also take joy in the many compliments we get from anybody who visits our home or even passes by it. Alexandra was wonderful and we can’t recommend her highly enough.”

    “We worked with Urrutia Design on a complete home renovation. Jason and Martha listened to our ideas and translated them into their design aesthetic. Their cohesive design runs throughout the entire house and they incorporated our family's specific needs resulting in a more usable, beautiful space. We are thrilled with our new home!”

    “Leigha Heydt was our second architect hired for our project. The first didn't work out due to lack of understanding each others goals and budget. Leigha was a breath of fresh air in every way. She took out the intimidation factor in our first remodel experience. We immediately loved her straight forward honest approach and her knowledge of building a home (she has contractor experience). She was quick at assesing our needs and got straight to work on our plans. The plans were extremely professional with meticulous details that made every process after (finding contractors, engineers, etc and getting town approval) a breeze. Leigha understood us and always steered us in a realistic direction to keep to our goal. She has a very keen eye for use of space and pleasing design... that is timeless and functional. I can not say enough about Leigha, she is very talented, a great architect. Our entire house was dated with a small, closed in kitchen and no master bedroom. Our house is absolutely fantastic now with an open big kitchen, amazing master suite and a beautiful flow throughout. We chose a more modern style that is very family friendly. Leigha was right there with every resource - websites, places to find every last detail needed in our home. Again, I can't say enough- she's an amazing architect and communicator, she's thorough, always on time, wealth of resources and the calm in what could be an overwhelming experience. She's the best!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 22, 2017
    “Mehran is extremely knowledgeable from a design, cost, and feasibility perspective. I worked with Mehran on a complete teardown/rebuild of an existing single family home to a 90% new home. The main factors I needed addressed were cost concerns while keeping the best design and functionality for resale. Mehran gave insightful opinion and pointed out issues I had not and was not able to spot due to my relative unfamiliarity. His years of experience allows him insight on issues from both a building and cost perspective that would otherwise go unnoticed. Highly recommended.”

    “Andrea designed a complete backyard remodel for us that involved extensive grading, hardscape and landscaping. The job turned out even better than expected and we constantly get accolades on the design. She chose the plants beautifully and 5 years out the yard looks better than ever and the plants have maintained and grown in even with restricted water use. I would highly recommend her and we plan to use her services again!”
    Create Interior Design and Remodeling

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 22, 2019
    “They just finished up the interior remodel of my master bedroom and living room. It took about 23 days to finish all the things we wanted done to both rooms. The company communicated effectively and performed the remodel above and beyond our expectations. Any ideas we had were incorporated into the final design in some way to satisfy our needs. The design team was brilliant and didn’t rush their creative process, which is why the final product turned out beautifully. Thanks again for your commitment towards this remodel. We’ll be recommending Create Interior Design to other people we know.”

    “Nick Lee and his team at houseplans.com took us from a blank canvas for a property we purchased to a wonderful and beautiful house, guest house, barn, driveway, landscaping, and all of the other numerous things that turned our 14 acre parcel into a spectacular property. When we started, we had no electricity, no water, no septic, no driveway, no fence, no gate - just a beautiful piece of property. We did not even know where we would place the buildings on the property. Nick and his team developed the site plan, designed the house and the guest house and and placed the pool, driveway, landscaping, barn and all of the other items into a plan that flows extremely well. They followed the project through to completion and we are extremely pleased with the result. We cannot recommend this team highly enough!”

    “When we first interviewed Carl many years ago, we were impressed by his ability to problem solve with the client and create positive outcomes with problematic situations. That impression proved true in all our projects with Carl. Our first project involved turning a ranch style home into a two story home. The staircase was a bit tricky but Carl created a gorgeous staircase that really pulled the whole project together. Our second project was a rescue on Carl's part. We were planning major winterization and expansion of a summer home including all new kitchen and garage with apartment. Unfortunately, our relationship with the architect in that state deteriorated to an unacceptable level. After calling Carl for advice on dealing with this, we fired the other architect and hired Carl. He worked with the plans we had and immediately identified the problems and suggested the perfect solutions. He attended a Coastal Area Committee meeting to make sure the plans and project were accepted. Our third project was just this past year on the second home. It entailed creating a new master bath and walk-in closet by moving rooms and the addition of a screened porch. Once again, Carl listened to what we were trying to accomplish and came up with exactly what we wanted. Another aspect to Carl's work is that the builders we have used have been impressed with his plans.”

    Architect or Building Designer FAQs
    The duration of an architectural project can vary widely depending on its scope and complexity. A simple home renovation may take several months from design to completion, while a new construction project could last from one to three years. The design phase typically requires several weeks to several months, factoring in time for revisions and approvals. Communication with your designer will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
    Architectural Designers stay informed on the latest materials and design trends through continuous education, industry publications, and networking with suppliers and manufacturers. They select materials based not only on aesthetics but also on durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Designers work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring the selected materials and trends reflect their tastes while remaining functional and within budget.
    Homeowners should start by defining their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration images or creating a mood board can help communicate your vision to the designer. Itʼs also important to research local zoning laws and building regulations. Preparing a list of questions and concerns for your designer will facilitate a productive initial consultation. Ensuring you have a clear understanding of the design process and what is expected from both parties will help streamline the project.
    Architectural Designers are trained to anticipate and mitigate common challenges such as budget constraints, unexpected site issues, and regulatory compliance. They employ strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and effective communication with clients and contractors. Open and honest dialogue throughout the project helps ensure any challenges are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimizing delays and additional costs.
    Many Architectural Designers possess the skills and knowledge to assist with interior design aspects, creating a cohesive aesthetic and functional flow throughout a home. They can provide services ranging from space planning and furniture selection to the specification of interior finishes. However, the extent of their involvement in interior design varies, so itʼs important to discuss your expectations during the hiring process. For projects requiring specialized interior design, collaborating with a professional interior designer might be recommended.
    When selecting an Architectural Designer, look for qualifications such as a degree in architecture or a related field, licensure (where required), and membership in professional organizations like the AIA. Additionally, a strong portfolio demonstrating relevant experience, testimonials from past clients, and evidence of continuing education are indicators of a dedicated and capable designer. Itʼs also essential to choose someone with good communication skills and a compatible approach to design and project management.
