“We are the owners of the Leenhouts home addition. Ken not only is a fantastic designer, he is personable, devoted, and reasonably priced. Could not have asked for more. Love living in his beautifully designed spaces.”

“We hired Bruce to design an addition to our 900 square foot lake cottage. He drew plans to change the kitchen to a foyer, add a new kitchen, bathroom, and change a utility closet to a laundry area which also houses the on demand water heater and pump. He also designed a large deck lakeside and a covered porch on the roadside. He included central heating and air conditioning. His complete and detailed plans allowed us to be the general contractors. The end result is even more exciting than we anticipated. We would recommend Bruce to anyone looking for an excellent, thoughtful, flexible, and accommodating architect!”

Wade Weissmann Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Racine.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 March 2013
“Wade Weissmann made our dreams come true! Working with Wade Weissmann and his team, was an outstanding experience!! Wade exceeded our expectations as he was able to meet our budget and accomplish his work in a timely fashion! From the moment he sat down and sketched his incredible vision of our new kitchen to the completion of our project, Wade made it a fun and exciting adventure! His knowledge and enthusiasm for architecture is clearly extraordinary! Wade's superb attention to detail as well as the unique and highest quality materials he uses, makes his designs stand out from all the rest. When people walk into our kitchen, they are blown away by the transformation! I couldn't imagine a more perfect design for a cook's kitchen even with the space we had to work with. From the fabulous large marble and walnut island, vaulted planked ceilings, beautiful windows, gorgeous tiled hood over the stove with a windowed backsplash, abundant custom cabinetry perfectly placed, expansive countertops, built in walnut and marble bar, beautiful quarter- sawn white oak flooring and an amazing and thoughtfully designed fireplace, I never want to leave my kitchen!! Wade's designs are truly a rare commodity in the field of Architecture!”

“Meg is a grounded, creative and well versed architect. She has terrific experience with some of these older homes in the Milwaukee area but also advised me on a more contemporary house as well. She has great talent coupled with deep experience. Fun to work with too. You'd be pleased if you had the chance to work with her.”
Karl Holtermann Designer + Builder LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Racine.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 December 2014
“We remodeled our whole house in Fox Point in 2012-13. Karl was one of the deciding factors in us going with the company for the remodel. He was incredible during the entire process and after the completion. Karl has an incredible eye and was so instrumental in selecting all the lights, floor colors, paint, fixtures.... I could pass Karl a pic of the look we wanted and he would find it for us. Karl also worked with us to design all of the plans for our house. He really listens and got what we wanted. Overall Karl is a real pro and incredibly good at what he does. He is also so easy and nice to work with. I have an incredibly busy job with lots of travel and we would have not completed this remodel on time and on budget without Karl. We will use him again for future remodels and would highly recommend him.”

An architect or building designer in Racine, WI 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 Racine, WI 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 Racine, WI 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 Racine, WI:


  • 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?
