    “We worked with Gloria to re design and re construct a 3,400 square foot home in Riverdale. The results were spectacular in the true sense of the word and a credit to Gloria's innovative and cost sensitive design. We would recommend her highly.”
    BLDG Workshop Inc.
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Toronto
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 7, 2013
    “We can highly recommend BLDG Workshop with complete confidence. In contrast to the many bumps along the way of our renovation and addition, the design process was exciting and enjoyable. Nathan and his team of professionals were timely and efficient, good at communication, and willing to work with the trades we had hired; however, their best attribute is of course their smart, inspired design! Our favourite part of working with BLDG was the collaborating... they are the experts but they listened to our ideas and were excellent at incorporating our whims and wishes. We will definitely be contacting BLDG the next time we build!”

    “Erik helped us with our bathroom renovation design. He was very helpful in helping us get the most use of a very small space. His knowledge of where to get the best prices on the best materials was really great.”
    Gus Ricci Architect

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 15, 2015
    “He is all qualities you could ever want in an architect. Most importantly talent to envision, talent to listen, talent to suggest not take over. And a respected human being. I would hire Gus again and again. From small to large he will provide the same service.”
    Wanda Ely Architect Inc.
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Toronto
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2014
    “My husband and I are currently working with Wanda to update the kitchen of our Toronto century home (my estimates below are projected therefore, rather than actual, as the work is not yet complete). Wanda took time to hear our needs and wants and has been expert at helping us to clarify what those actually are. We had been stalled in the decision making stage for years, and within a few short weeks of working with Wanda, she had helped us to come up with a design that we are very happy with. It works for our esthetic and our budget and solved the design riddles that had plagued us. I had seen some other projects that Wanda worked on and whilst I really admired them, I knew my husband and I would be making very different style choices from those clients. I have been most impressed with Wanda's ability to "get" and work with our eclectic and somewhat undefined tastes as well as our thrifty budget.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2020
    “Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 22, 2014
    “We hired Erin back in spring 2012 for our Home Renovation and it was one of the better decisions we made. Our home was built in 1920 and our addition required a well thought out design which Erin was able to deliver and help walk us through. Erin exceeded our expectations from her initial visit to discuss what we were looking for in our addition, right through to the final drawings completion and permit delivery.”

    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 Toronto, 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 Toronto 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 Toronto 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.
