James S. Collins Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 4, 2015
“James S. Collins is perhaps one of the most highly trained professional architects on the east coast. His attention to finite details along with his creative vision are superb! He was delightful to work with from the beginning stages of planning the design for our home until the very end of our project completion. Jim's knowledge of historical architecture surpasses any other architect's in our area and I would highly recommend him for anyone who is interested in building a truly unique and timeless home! When friends, family or colleagues visit our home, they are in awe of the excellent craftsmanship and the thoughtful creativity that seems to have been forgotten over time in new home construction today. In fact, most individuals believe that our new home was renovated from an old historical house in our neighborhood instead of being only five years old! This is the ultimate compliment for Jim because he is so conscientious of all historical details involved in creating a superior and masterful showplace!”
Anderson Architecture, PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 21, 2015
“We have a thirty year old house that had a very small kitchen and den. As we had used Anderson Architecture on several occasions and been very pleased, we contacted them again to help with this remodel. They were quick to respond, listened to our want list and provided three great options all thoughtful of our budget. It was a difficult choose as they were all three great plans. They helped us select one and we are so pleased with the result. Anderson Architecture was there to answer questions from our carpenter, plumber and electrician. They are knowledgeable, talented and LEED certified. We ended up with an energy efficient, well built structure and the open modern design we really wanted. Their professional knowledge and skill actually saved us money on the project. Anderson Architecture anticipated what we wanted even before we thought of it and supported us in every part of the project. It is like going on vacation each time we use our new space. We could not have been more satisfied and will always return to Anderson Architecture for our future renovation and building needs.”

Frank R. Cheney, Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2015
“Frank Cheney has designed several alterations to my historic farmhouse and has made a tremendous difference in the outcome of each of the projects. He has an uncanny imaginative approach to space and can visualize potential solutions that would never occur to me. The farmhouse required a lot of creativity and Frank Cheney brought that to the table. He also worked with me on the design of a studio, created from a 100 year old barn, rendering my very ordinary ideas extraordinary by knowing how to rearrange the components to be cohesive, convenient and beautiful. He is particularly tuned in to extremely subtle issues of proportion often missed by lesser practitioners that make his designs standouts.”
Alicia Ravetto Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 10, 2013
“My husband and I live in a beautiful location on the Haw River and wanted to remodel part of our home to take advantage of the views and river access. We entertain frequently and wanted more room in the right places and also good flow from room to room. I am an artist, and my husband enjoys woodworking. We wanted spaces that reinforced our aspirations. We decided to add a den with a wood stove, a screened in porch with cat walk to our large back deck, a new kitchen, an art studio, and a workshop. To keep costs down, we hoped to use significant floor space in a poorly-used two car garage. We had some design ideas for the finished product, but mainly, we knew what we wanted to achieve in the way we live in our house and on our property. We looked for an architect with imagination and with good taste who could pull it all together for us. Alicia Ravetto was the perfect choice for our project. She immediately understood what we were after, and she designed spaces that creatively achieved all our criteria. She was very organized in how she handled the developing plans. We could look back and see how we moved from step to step. This was important in constantly bringing us back to the goals we set at the very beginning. Alicia met deadlines and was fun and honest to work with throughout the project. There were significant cost overruns, but this is because we were so happy with what we saw happening, we asked for more and more. We are thrilled with the outcome. It is wonderful living in our "new" custom home.”

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

How do I find the best Star 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 Star 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 Star, NC 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 Star 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?
