Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Upper Lake

Haley Whiteside Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Upper Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 23, 2017
“I'm a general contractor and had the pleasure of building an 800 sq. ft. home designed by Mo Whiteside and Kate Haley. I say pleasure because rarely do I find architects who put as much attention on detail as Mo and Kate do. The house is beautiful--well proportioned, quality finishes, and it incorporates advanced concepts in building science, which few architects remain current on. When questions arose around detailing (and they always do), Mo and Kate responded quickly so construction could continue without delay. In short, they have a great sense of design, knowledge of construction, and are easy to work with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 18, 2016
“We bought a house that was painted with "safe" interior colors (basically off whites) and had a dull feeling to it. My wife is a tapestry weaver who has excellent color sense but is not used to the interior design applications. Having worked with Robert on other design projects in the commercial realm, I asked him to meet with us and help us find a color solution that would integrate with our existing furniture and some physical modifications we wanted to add to the living area. He quickly understood our frustration and was able to provide advice not only on a color scheme but also had excellent suggestions for additions to our fireplace area wall. Roberts suggested using a highly polished black Corian to cover the mantel and side cabinets which contrasted nicely with the white mantle and cabinets. With the brick colored walls and the enhancement of the fireplace area, this set the room off strikingly. We highly recommend Robert and found him very create, easy to work with and quick to solve problems.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 1, 2013
“I worked with Paul and his company to provide material to a very demanding client. At every step Paul was a Pro! Clear on what he needed, creative within the project and flawless in execution. I had the opportunity to visit when the project was completed and it is beautiful. I highly recommend Paul and his firm.”
Michael Cobb
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Upper Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 8, 2012
“Mike Cobb has broad vision. In my case, he took a very ordinary property and designed something contemporary that really enhanced the orientation on the lot, took advantage of previously inaccessible views, and made the house design exponentially more livable. I recommend him highly. ”
Obie G Bowman
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Upper Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 16, 2014
“We wanted a small, affordable house on The Sea Ranch coast. We had seen Obie's designs and loved them. We at first felt that what we were hoping to build would be too small and our budget too limited for Obie to be willing to take us on as clients. Wrong. He seemed honestly excited about designing a special home on a small budget. Obie talked to us about what was important to us in our home. He studied our previous home and asked pertinent questions. He listened and then creatively put all of our wants into a home filled with creative touches that make it small, modest in cost, and special. We love the end result!”
Myra Hoefer Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Upper Lake
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 17, 2014
“We have known Myra Hoefer and her staff for many years having lived in Healdsburg CA. The style and quality of their work is amazing and their attention to detail before, during and after the project makes it all worthwhile. In addition to having worked alongside them, when it came time to sell our home in Healdsburg, Myra came and styled the home for showings and we had an offer within a week. We always make it a point to visit Myra when we are back visiting the area.”

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

How do I find the best Upper Lake 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 Upper Lake 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 Upper Lake, CA 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 Upper Lake 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?
