“Not only do we think that Mark Tate and his team are wonderful architects, but we view them also as artists.

“From design to submitted plans, Perspective design has helped me with two personal projects including a remodel and a new build for my dream cabin.

Klee Design Collaborative
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2021
“I recently had the pleasure of working with John. I had a such wonderful experience I would like to share: After hitting a dead end with how to design a functional and well designed master suite for my new house, John spent an hour with me workshopping plans and sharing incredible ideas! His very first question to me was “how long do you envision yourself living here,” which is something I hadn’t really considered. His insight helped guide me through different ideas for the layout. John presented a wide number of ideas and left it up to me to decide which direction I’d like to take. Had it not been for John, I would have built a suite I regretted. His thinking saved me time and likely money in the long run. I couldn’t recommend John enough! Thank you again and I look forward to working together in the future.”
The Ranch Mine
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars7 January 2013
“Creative, responsive, cost conscious, The Ranch Mine was a great find for us. With them we were able to create our dream house, we completly remodeled a 50's ranch into a modern, livable space. When people walk in to our home for the the first time, they say wow!”
Friedman & Shields
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2014
“I needed to downsize, meld styles and add color to our new home. We purchased items that we needed quickly without having an overall plan. I realized that we needed help. Found Friedman & Shields on-line and really liked their work. I have been very pleased with their ability to listen & ask about my preferences and then to offer choices to bring a cohesive design within budget. While the finished product is not yet complete, I know it's going to be stellar.”
Urban Design Associates
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2013
“I have worked with Urban Design Associates of Scottsdale, AZ as a builder for the past 15 years, and am intimately familiar with their design craft and work product. They are, without question, one of the very best residential architectural firms serving the Southwest in existence today. From extracting the necessary client information in the very beginning, to the conceptual design drawings which capture the client's intentions for their dream home, to the construction documents which are the best and most detailed in the industry...UDA is first class in every respect. In my opinion, to consider UDA for any high end, custom home project would be a wise choice.”
James Hann Design, AIA
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 March 2015
“We initially met Jim Hann through a referral while interviewing architects to assist us in designing our "dream house" in Arizona. After careful consideration, we selected Jim because of his talent for designing beautiful homes, many which have won awards, and his warm and friendly personality. Working with Jim has been a delight. He brings a "can do" attitude to resolving design issues and always has an open mind to our ideas and concerns. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were satisfied with the design so that it would work for us, our lifestyle and our family.”
Beautiful Space Co
Architects & Building Designers in Scottsdale.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 September 2012
“We are very fortunate to have Steve Price and Beautiful Remodel recently complete an extensive remodel of our home. This is the third project in less than 2 years I have completed with Steve. I was looking for a contractor who could understand and bring my design tastes to life. Steve Price and Beautiful Remodel did so. Steve is not only the general contractor; he is also the designer and spent an extensive amount of time discussing what we wanted in the remodel of our home. We have unique taste and we were quite concerned that we could not find a designer and contractor to create what we had in mind, much less understand what we were describing. Steve offered excellent suggestions, has an amazing sense of design and style and he pays a great deal of attention to detail. He has an uncanny ability to look at existing space and recreate it into a useable & functional area. He came up with fantastic design ideas that really makes our house not just a home, but a place of relaxing refuge. His ability to solve challenging storage problems on this remodel was a great relief. I found Beautiful Remodel to have excellent communication, his work crew and subcontractors came on time, were courteous and at the end of work days the job site was left in a clean state. Beautiful Remodel gave accurate job cost estimates. Where unforeseen issues were discovered, Steve was very good about informing me what the problems were and what the costs to correct them would be. In a job of this scope, there are unknown expenses that are going to impact job estimates. I would rehire Beautiful Remodel again in a minute and I can highly recommend and endorse Steve Price and Beautiful Remodel to anybody that wants an outstanding contractor that can deliver amazing results. In my opinion, if you are looking for a remodeling contractor that understands your remodel budget, is excellent with job progress communication, offers design or remodel suggestions, does quality work and spends plenty of time LISTENING to what you would like to have the end result look or feel like, Steve Price and Beautiful Remodel is your company. (Photos of this project are listed as "SV whole house remodel")”

An architect or building designer in Scottsdale, AZ 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 Scottsdale, AZ 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 Scottsdale, AZ 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 Scottsdale, AZ:


  • 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?
