    Rowland+Broughton Architecture & Urban Design
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Thornton
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 10, 2012
    “I worked with R&B on a very significant mixed use project in Aspen, CO. Because of the teamwork, creative ideas and details on the project we were able to win a national lighting design award for our Mother Lode project. Sarah,John and their team are always looking to push the envelope of mountain modern design and keep the projects fun. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who likes their signature style.”
    TKP Architects

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 18, 2013
    “The architects at TKP have great vision and practical ideas. I had spent months working with another architect to design an addition to our 55-year-old home but nothing clicked. Then Karen Keating looked all through our home, sat down and in a matter of minutes roughly sketched out a plan which included a dining nook, den, office, bath and storage room. I knew we'd found the firm with which we wanted to work. Everyone that we worked with at TKP was respectful of our ideas, and then made them even better. We love our three-year-old, 1000 square foot "new" space. It flows beautifully with the original house.”

    “I pretty much knew want I wanted to do with my project. I warned Ellen I knew enough about architecture to be dangerous. Ellen recognized my requirements and was instrumental in identifying other considerations needed for the project. Included was a need for a code variance (setback). I was informed by the city, before starting the project, a code allowance(variance) was not required. Ellen’s code research was right. A code allowance was required. With her help, the review board approved the code allowance request unanimously. Our project involves bumping the attached garage eight feet to allow for a utility room between the garage and house. The design includes moving the washer and dryer out of the basement. As simple as the project sounds, there is a lot involved. Ellen listened to my wife’s concerns and ideas on the project. Together we achieved a very efficient design. We are now in the permit and construction phase of the project. I am looking forward to Ellen’s input. Ellen deserves your serious consideration.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 22, 2015
    “I have worked with Mr. Larsen on a number of stellar residential projects as the art glass designer and fabricator and I would without hesitation recommend him for any job. The architectural styles required were different, but all were of the highest imagination and execution.”

    “How many times in life do you get a service that is thorough, creative, timely and complete? Jim provided all of this and more. Jim was a pleasure to work with on our project. He came up with creative solutions to our requests that we wouldn’t have been able to come up with on our own. To top it all off, Jim was a pleasure to work with on this property. We experienced no ego and we received invaluable input for our remodeling project. We are thrilled with our results and with the services that Jim provided!”
    Doug Walter Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Thornton
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 12, 2014
    “My husband and I hired Doug Walter to design a fairly extensive indoor/outdoor remodel, encompassing about 80% or more of the house. Doug is extremely talented and visionary, knowledgeable and highly respectful and astute about spending money wisely. He meshed well with our desire for quality and style that will stand the test of time. He is also easy to work with and a delightful person. I recently referred him and am very excited to see what he does for our friends' big remodel.”

    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJune 29, 2012
    “Rodwin Architecture designed our SIP/ICF home in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Scott and his team were great to work with. He listened to our requirements and was able to create a design that fulfilled those and stayed within our budget. Rodwin Architecture is focused on eco-friendly design, and we enjoy a very efficient, one-of-a-kind home.”
    Arcadea Architecture
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Thornton
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 5, 2014
    “David Biek from Arcadea has worked on two projects for us. The first project was restoring a beautiful multi million dollar 4 story grey stone in Chicago. The building was a classic old building in disrepair. David's design work brought the building infastructure into the 21st. century yet he maintained the old world charm. Thanks to the remodel, the building is renting for top dollar. The second project David did for us was some remodleing at our home in Boulder. After the 2013 floods, we had some serious repairs to make on our bottom floor. David redesigned the worst, ugliest bathroom in our home and made it wonderful.The bottom floor has never looked better. You can trust David. He's careful, fair priced, thoughtful, imaginative, and always has good follow through.”
    Hampton Architecture
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Thornton
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 17, 2015
    “First – know that Hampton Architecture is fantastic to work with. Hampton Architecture assisted my wife and me in making our vision of a modern off-grid cabin a reality. The services started with education and consultation. Hampton Architecture worked with us to collect our idea, and worked within constrains we set. Hampton Architecture painted a clear picture of the process (from concept to Certificate of Occupancy). Ethan presented a design that incorporated all of our objectives for this special property. He even took the time for an extensive site visit to capture the feel of the living land, the view angles, the topography, landscape and colors. I have minor building experience and we were not sure of the reliability of local trades in the remote mountain location – above Marble, CO. Hampton Architecture took care of all the details to get us an approved building permit with Gunnison County (one of the more stringent building code requirement Counties in the State of Colorado). Hampton Architecture proposed a building solution that would minimize our need for local labor – SIP. During the build, Ethan was available for the very few time necessary to clarify plan details – there were 4 total clarifications needed. In the end, we finish with a cabin of our dreams, built within the schedule and budget that we could afford. I’m happy to recommend Hampton Architecture to anyone how needs help turning a vision into a reality.”

    “Alison and Anna are wonderful ladies to work with. They have a great eye for design and understand how to get the most out of the space you have to work with. Their drawings are detailed which makes it easier for us as builders. Our company CCM, LLC (general contractor) has worked on few project with HQ Architects. Our most recent project was a custom home in Hill Top. We love working with these ladies and can't wait for the next project.”

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

    How do I find the best Thornton 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 Thornton 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 Thornton, CO 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 Thornton 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?
