“We hired Andre' to design and do all the architectural work for our new home in Excelsior, MN. After meeting with numerous architects and builders, we decided that Andre' and Kurt Schwartz (Builder) were the best fit for us. After several meetings to discuss our vision we filled out an in depth Master Vision questionnaire and provided Andre' and Kurt our login to houzz.com so they could see what we liked about certain houses, rooms, colors, textures and finishes. When you combine the Master Vision questionnaire along with our houzz.com pictures, you get a pretty good feel for what we wanted in our new home. We think Andre' did an exceptional job of listening to what we wanted and going through all of the information we provided to create a remarkable home that we love! Between Andre' and Kurt Schwartz Builders they really did a great job of taking our vision and making it a reality. We would strongly recommend both Andre' and Kurt to anyone looking to remodel or build their dream home!”

“Tim did a remodel of our office using a creative design that seemed to increase the overall space, while respecting existing structures. He has also done some projects for our homes through the years. I highly recommend his services!”

“Mike was recommended to us by our real estate agent. From the get go, he was courteous and professional. He took time to really envision the new spaces and explain the pros and cons of remodeling the existing spaces. We spent a few months going back and forth on designs and he never once balked at all the "changes" we requested. His pricing is excellent and the turnaround at producing and updating the drawings even better. Mike was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him for your architectural and design needs.”

“Ron Brenner's portfolio displayed a wide variety of great architecture from residential to commercial. He has the education and experience that I seek. He's a great source on costs in a project. I haven't hired anyone yet for our remodel.”
Albers Design LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Golden Valley.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 September 2015
“I highly recommend Lisa Albers, who designed my master bathroom. This was not a simple remodel project -- she helped transform an enclosed unheated porch into a master bathroom. Lisa’s expertise took the bathroom plan from nice to exceptional. Lisa understood my personal taste, explained suggestions and was a collaborative problem solver. Hiring a professional was such a good investment. Lisa took much of the stress out of making so many decisions, selecting the tile alone would have been daunting, with Lisa’s expertise she made this decision enjoyable. Lisa was very accessible and made time to meet in person and responded quickly to questions. I certainly will use Lisa on future projects and already have recommended her services to family and friends.”

An architect or building designer in Golden Valley, MN 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 Golden Valley, MN 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 Golden Valley, MN 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.

  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?

  • your vision.)
