Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County

Pine Clearwood Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 14, 2016
“We have worked with Pine Clearwood Architects on several relatively small remodeling projects over the past 15 years and I give a high recommendation. Denise Clearwood has a very consultative approach, makes smart functional space recommendations and has a fantastic design style. She is good at debating the pros and cons of options and trouble-shooting problems. We have never had any issues and are always happy with the finished result.”
Bouril Design Studio, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 2, 2016
“We have had a very positive experience with Bob Bouril and his design team during a difficult, complicated project involving a historical building with severe structural issues. Bob is a great communicator and total professional with deep knowledge of architectural design. In our unique situation he struck just the right balance of meeting our needs for both the practical and the whimsical, and we will be retaining his firm's services in this long term commercial/residential endeavor with two years down, more to go.”
GMK Architecture Inc
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 9, 2013
“Jim Gempeler of GMK is an extremely talented designer. He originally designed a house for us 25 years ago. Then we had him build an addition. The design, flow and process was seamless. He incorporated the beauty of the outdoors throughout. He is very creative and innovative. Yet sensitive to the tastes, preferences and budget of the client. He is versatile as well, creating designs that reflect the culture and natural setting of very different regions of the country. We could not be happier with the result. As a result we have a new house and a lifelong friend.”

Heritage Design Build, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 30, 2014
“Aaron has two qualities that aren't always found in architects and designers. First, he is talented with design and architecture. Second, he knows what works in the real world, having actual experience in the building trades. He used both of these skill sets to contribute greatly to the success of several projects when he was staff designer and project manager for FACE Properties, including an award winning restoration project that include tax credits and a tight budget. Aaron listens well, has vision but respects client ideas and is a joy to work with. When he got an opportunity to tackle a significant project with a different firm, we were sorry to lose him. Now that he is back in the area and has his own firm, we are again happy to employee his skills working on new projects with us. I recommend him without reservation.”
Adam Beck Architects, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 29, 2018
“My husband and I could not be more grateful and thankful for Adam! Not only did Adam turn our vision into a dream home but he coordinated with the General Contractor, Engineer, Building Inspector, and Zoning to ensure there would be no hiccup's. Thank you Adam!!!!”
Timothy J Hawley
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 16, 2012
“Timmy Hawley did an amazing job on our project. We did not give him much time to complete the project but he came thru with everything we asked him to produce. The addition of his work to the overall architectural look of the entire project made it over the top and brought it together with an amazing look. I would recommend Timmy for any project and would definitely hire him on future project. Please feel free to contact me for recommendation. Philippe Forcioli”

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

How do I find the best Stephenson County 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 Stephenson County 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 Stephenson County, IL 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 Stephenson County 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?
