Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Houston.

John P. Guy, Designer
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 October 2014
“I have known John Guy for several years through association in the TIBD (Texas Institute of Building Designers). My membership in TIBD was as a supplier. As a supplier I worked with and got to know many of the members. This year I decided to start building homes. There were several reasons I chose John Guy: #1 He is an excellent designer, #2 He listens to his clients and designs to meet their ideas. #3. He has a working knowledge of products and applications. #4. He understands the complex nature between design and construction. For these reasons, John has been a great deal of help in product selection. I have also hired John to inspect the job and provide quality assurance. This way I am assured of getting everything done right the first time, and preventing any defects in workmanship from getting covered up. John is what I call a Full Service Designer. Richard Egan”

“Simply put, M Architecture is the only firm we use! I can confidently say that Megan is exceptionally meticulous, wonderfully creative and extremely knowledgeable!”
Design DCA
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2013
“We hired Design DCA (David Cox) to design our custom home. The reason we chose Design DCA was because we had previously toured one of his homes. The architecture of the home was unique, open, and with a great layout and flow. We actually loved the floor plan so much that we decided to base our design on it with minor changes made. David added a mudroom and kitchen pantry and redesigned the 3rd floor media space. He also designed all the interior elevation and exterior site plan. David was extremely easy to work with. He's professional, courteous, and very responsive. In addition, his fees are reasonable. We would highly recommend Design DCA for your next project.”
Allure Consulting & Design Company LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 July 2022
“Excellent to work with Allure - I had some pretty detailed work. And I had a few revisions, as I kept changing what I was looking for, and they were patient with me. The final product was perfect - and that was due to Allure's commitment to providing exactly what I wanted. Cannot recommend them enough.”
Kent & Kent Residential Design
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2014
“I have used Kent & Kent on several outdoor living and homebuilding projects in the Houston area. As one of the largest outdoor living builders in the area (Texas Custom Patios), Allan has helped us out several times on projects that are very complex. Many of the projects on my site were assisted by Allan's design ideas. Can't say enough about the level of expertise and patience K&K brings to the table. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in bringing on a highly professional and experienced hands-on design firm.”
Charles Todd Helton Architect, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 February 2016
“I hired Charles to design a single-family residence and couldn't be happier. He was very thoughtful, responsive, and innovative. He's a superb listener and really took the time to figure out exactly what I wanted and how to make that happen. This was a real collaboration and Charles made me a partner in achieving the design I wanted. He's wonderfully attentive and personable and has been such a joy to work with. He's also a wealth of knowledge and very tactfully pointed me back in the right direction every time I made a suggestion that wasn't so practical or affordable.”

Jay Baker Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 May 2017
“We just completed a major remodel on our home with Jay Baker Architects. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The entire team was extremely professional, diligent and hard working-not to mention really nice people. They stayed true to the historical significance of the house while also making it more modern and livable. We are so pleased with the final outcome and highly recommend these amazing architects.”
Kevin Young Designer, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Houston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“Kevin Young designed our dream home for us. After our first meeting with him we knew he could create our vision. His first draft of our downstairs was so perfect we didn't have to make any changes. Our home is completely unique. He was able to take our ideas and show us ways to make them much better than we could have ever imagined. His process is easy and painless and he is always on our side. We loved working with him and will recommend him to anyone looking to build their dream home!”

An architect or building designer in Houston, TX 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 Houston, TX 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 Houston, TX 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 Houston, TX:


  • 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 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 general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
