Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.

Joseph A Buchek AIA Architect LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 March 2014
“Joe Buchek worked with us to create the design of our dreams for a re-do of our first floor. He offered several options and we ended up with a terrific renovation. We highly recommend him.”
David Wenchell Architects LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 March 2019
“Dave is a highly skilled architect with a deep knowledge of the style and structure of the building(s) he is asked to design and draft. Dave is easy to work with and has a keen sensitivity for his clients' tastes. He spends considerable time listening and understanding the "wants" of his clients and balancing the practicality and realistic options for construction. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone interested in designing and building a "house of one's dreams". You will not regret the time and effort he contributes to your project.”
John R. Schroeder, AIA
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 November 2014
“John R. Schroeder, AIA, you have given us our dream home and by that I mean a home more beautiful than we could have imagined and yet completely suitable to our hectic everyday lives as a family with four young children. You listened to our random ideas and put them together into a design that is better than the sum of its parts and what's more, it was completed on schedule (I didn't think this ever happened!).”
Kemper Associates Architects, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2012
“Without Jack my house would never have been built. We needed to tuck this little house into a narrow urban lot in a Historic District and make it look like it was always there. We survived 7! public hearings with heavy revision. Jack remained true to my original vision while accommodating the requirements of many other visions of what my house needed to be. His price was fair, his manner engaging and open. My house won an award and i gained a valued friend. He and and his staff are the best architectural firm ever.”
SKM Design LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 December 2019
“Be assured that you will be in excellent hands with Stacy at SKM Design. We can not recommend her highly enough! We did not use an architect or designer for our previous 2 renovations and I wish we had known Stacy then. We literally have no regrets with the layout or design choices in our current house. We have a 1920’s traditional colonial and she was excellent at marrying the character of our older home with today’s modern amenities. She leaves no stone unturned, keeps her eyes on the budget, works quickly, is a task master and will come up with a design plan that fits your lifestyle and budget. Stacy will also help you refine or identify your aesthetic if you don’t already have one. For our renovation, she facilitated the bidding process and managed our project every step of the way. She was able to recommend 3 builders for the bidding and a slew of tradespeople. She‘s also a joy to work with and an outstanding human being- you will love having her around.”
Greenright Design
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 June 2019
“Greenright does great work at a reasonable price. I am a remodeling contractor who has worked with them on several projects and continue to work with them. The drawings are timely and thorough and I certainly recommend their services”
Cheryl Newton Architect LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2019
“"Cheryl Newton Architect LLC was wonderful to work with. Cheryl is very professional, creative, caring, and intuitive. She quickly realized our likes and dislikes and was very open to our ideas, suggestions, and working together with us to design our dream home. We had a very challenging lot on a lake and Cheryl worked together with the town, our civil engineer, and our landscaper to make the most of the space we had. If we ever needed to design another home we would definitely use her services again.”
BMW Residential Design
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 July 2018
“As a developer and builder, I have used BMW Residential Design on many of our new home projects in West Granby and Hartland, CT. I have found Brian to be easy to work with, responsive to our time constraints and easy to reach. He had many excellent design ideas and suggestions using 3-D modeling that proved to be invaluable in visualizing our projects before construction. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for quality, affordable home plans. David Payton – Barndoor Hills Development LLC”
JWM Architects LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2018
“We hired JWM after obtaining several estimates for the work to turn a hair salon into a gourmet coffee shop. He kept all of his time and work commitments and was very accomodating. He had great design ideas which we incorporated into our design. We really enjoyed working with John.”
Dvisionone Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Hartford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 November 2013
“We have worked with Michael Raso and with his firm Dvisionone Architects on many different projects in two homes over the past 18 years. Each time we have been impressed with Michael's attention to detail and sensitivity toward our needs and design requests. He follows every project from beginning to end and is always available should questions arise. Although we are just now wrapping up a major addition to our home, we are already looking forward to future collaborations with him.”

An architect or building designer in Hartford, CT 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 Hartford, CT 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 Hartford, CT 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 Hartford, CT:


  • 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?
