Springhouse Architects, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Germantown.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 September 2012
“Sheri Scott listened attentively to our vision of the modern home that we wanted, something rather unusual in this area of the Midwest. She then went to work designing, modifying, and putting her unique stamp on the plan for our new home. She outlined the process clearly in the beginning so there were no surprises either financially or on the timeline. We could not have been more pleased with her plan and attention to us as clients.”

“We've worked with Matt on several projects. He's designed a home for us and also designed a new kitchen and family room for a very old home that we live in now. Matt is creative and extremely knowledgeable about the building process all the way through. Offering us many options to accomplish our goals. Most importantly Matt listened to what we wanted and understood how we lived and has created beautiful, comfortable , spaces for my family! Would highly recommend Matt and wouldn't think of using another architect!”

“Dan Wyckoff worked with us at the Miami Valley Women's Center to design a beautiful and code compliant interior for our new North Dayton Center. He was very helpful and was timely in making needed changes as we progressed in the project.”
Michael J Battaglia Residential Design
Architects & Building Designers in Germantown.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2015
“Michael J Battaglia has done our design work for about 10 years. We continue to use him because he always has our best interest in mind. He works with us on our home designs as a collaborator; ensuring we have energy efficient, cost efficient, liveable home plans. Mike is very knowledgeable and is the person we depend on when building codes change or code questions arise. I highly recommend Michael J Battaglia to anyone who needs a building design professional. As a reference to the kind of person he is, Mike donates hundreds of hours of his time working on the construction committee at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Dayton, keeping our plans current, code compliant, and making sure they blend with the architecture of the surrounding homes. Whether you need a custom home designed, a kitchen design, or house remodeling design, I think you'll find it a pleasure to work with Mike.”
David Flannery Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Germantown.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 December 2016
“In one word David Flannery is fabulous! He is extremely professional and polite. David's calming personality and listening skills gently guide your needs and desires to become a reality. He has an artistic way of blending individual tastes together and using space wisely. David was a fantastic buffer and mediator when my husband and I disagreed leading us into a remodeling plan that worked for both of us. David has the gift of taking ordinary spaces and transforming them into the extraordinary. I highly recommend David Flannery for your architectural needs.”

“Linda at LPG Design has a great eye for color and design. She helped me choose all the wall color in my home and I get compliments all the time about how inviting and warm it is. Another area in which she excels is decorative floral arrangements and choosing just the right artwork. She's a gem!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 December 2019
“A most talented designer! On a napkin was able to sketch and a portico and garage addition to turn our property into a lovely estate. Did a couple of projects for us at our current home and the best compliment, is that you couldn't tell it was an addition. Beautiful lines, and finishes adding unique features, such as an observatory dome.”
JDW Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Germantown.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 May 2015
“I have been retained by JDW Architects on several occasions to provide support services. As a fellow design professional, I can only say good things about John and his company. He is not only fair, but he is a pleasure to work with. I've never been in a position to hire him, but if I were I would hire him in a second. If you're looking for an architect and John is available - hire him!”

An architect or building designer in Germantown, OH can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Germantown, OH home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Germantown, OH general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the 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.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Germantown, OH:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • 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 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 general contractors and renovation contractors?
