Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2013
“We highly recommend architect Bruce Butler of By Design. He has been wonderful to work with, and we are delighted with our new home. We had never built a house before--nor did we think it was in the cards for us to do so--so we were complete novices when we began. Bruce was very patient with our lack of knowledge and did an excellent job of educating us on the process. Based on information he gathered from us, he presented us with an initial plan that matched our vision! After that, our discussions with him were primarily regarding materials and finishes. Our dealings with Bruce were done from a distance as we lived a half-dozen states away from our building site. Regardless of this, the process was seamless. Bruce also effectively acted on our behalf with the town Planning Board and Code Enforcement Officer. Without making a single change, they signed off on our plans the very night he presented them. He also participated in our meetings with prospective builders and made field trips to see their work. Additionally, he was very proactive on pursuing cost- and energy-saving options. We interviewed other architects before selecting Bruce. After the fact, one of the other firms asked us whom we selected. We told them and they said, "Bruce does great work, I think you'll be in good hands." There’s no question that we were!”

David M. Burrows, AIA, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 8, 2017
“We hired David Burrows to design a first floor master bedroom suite for our 1952 house where we've lived for 40 years. I could not be happier with this new space, we have a new house at the same address. The addition is cozy yet spacious and well thought out. David is easy to work with and very talented. I would not hesitate a moment to recommend him. I feel fortunate to have worked with him.”
Reiter Architecture & Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2021
“We used Lauren for a complete remodel including kitchen, multiple bathrooms, playroom, and bedroom. We used her for complete architectural and interior design. She was with us from start to finish of the project and we owe the success to her. Lauren has great design skills which is completely obvious by viewing her portfolio. The equally as helpful (and likely more important) skills that she brings to the table are her attention to detail and her perseverance in dealing with the contractors. She is there at every meeting to crack the proverbial whip and is very responsive (NYC responsive ;) to email/ phone/ text. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.”
Robert A. Lenahan Architect AIA PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 12, 2014
“It is my pleasure to write a review for Robert Lenahan. We hired Robert to help us with the renovation of our kitchen. I cannot say enough about Roberts thoroughness, his knowledge and understanding of what we were hoping to accomplish, his strong work ethic and above all, his ability to listen to his clients and make them feel comfortable and secure in decisions that were being made. Roberts gregarious personality is a bonus when it comes to working with other professionals. I would recommend anyone looking for a wonderful outcome to their project to hire Robert Lenahan. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and we are grateful to Robert for his professional expertise!”
John Cole Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2013
“John designed our lakefront 2nd home,now ten years+ years ago and I can say without reservation, that his final product has delighted us ever since. His combination of professional experience in both large firm design, woodframe construction techniques, and an ability to grasp our intentions early on, allowed us to achieve our goals. We got great design, an efficient process, and with costs that reflected excellent value. Our comfortable home has at least seven locations-from a cozy reading nook to a breakfast bench that bring smiles every sitting! His practical oversight during construction ,together with his ability to relate to rural craftsman helped keep any cost related changes to a minimum.”
Christopher P. Williams Architects, PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2013
“In early 2008, we commenced a very challenging project with CPWA. We had a lakeside camp built in the 1970's with an octagonal great room and two attached wings. We wanted parts of the structure preserved, parts destroyed and new parts added. The project was a resounding success structurally, architecturally and designwise. We were most fortunate to work with Liz Steel Venus of CPWA. Liz was extremely versital in her ability to handle all three of those components. We have built six other homes over the years and, overall, our best experience was with Liz and CPWA.”
Market Square Architects PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 14, 2022
“Rob Harbeson and Adam Wagner at Market Square Architects PLLC ("MSA") simply did an amazing job in the overall process of designing our home. The concept meetings and design suggestions for our 6,600SF residence located in Rye Beach NH with MSA were flawless and the recommendations as made by Rob and his team were then carried out and constructed by the custom builder Dick Southwick (Southwick Construction, Inc.) who did an amazing job at constructing a one-of-a-kind luxurious home in Rye. In meeting with Rob and his team, from the early discussions and hand sketches of conceptual ideas through a myriad of physical design idea changes during the construction process, every phase and facet of our project was done in exemplary fashion! All of the design architects at MSA were very accommodating and welcoming of ideas and changes and made the entire process seamless and stressless. We especially appreciated the 3-D walkthroughs of the residence as designed and created by MSA so we could get a "feel" and "flow" of the home prior to the physical construction. Every member of the MSA team was appreciated by us and their guidance was simply invaluable. We highly recommend Rob Harbeson and his team at MSA for any project both large and small. Simply said, the entire team was incredibly professional, reliable, cost efficient, and effective at every stage of our main house project and detached carriage house project.”
KOAL, PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Effingham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 7, 2019
“Don Bladja and his team at Koal PLLC have provided remarkably professional and creative work product for our home development efforts. It has been a joy to see our vision unfold with Don as he deftly works with our builder, his structural engineering partner, our cabinet maker, and others on our complex project. He has taken a very rough plan, started by another architectural firm with which we were unsatisfied, mixed in quite a number of unique and complicated requests from us along with forbidding site restrictions and has turned it into a detailed set of drawings that has "wowed" all with whom we have shared. Our builder and his tradesmen have easily implemented our shared vision straight from Don's plans. Many of our complicated requests, including a float room, sauna, elevator, and golf simulator/theater/business conference room combination (to name just a few) started as simple ideas scribbled on a napkin. With Don's expertise and experience, he quickly showed us many alternatives; turning our crazy simple sketches into detailed plans that worked within our uniquely challenging house footprint. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Don and his team. We only wish there were more than 5 stars to rate Koal PLLC, so you would more fully understand how impressed we have been!”

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

How do I find the best Effingham 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 Effingham 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 Effingham, NH 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 Effingham 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?
