Jeff Hibbard Design Services
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 November 2013
“Our project with Jeff started with a sketch on a dinner napkin and ended with the house of our dreams. We love the Arts and Crafts style, and wanted to create a home embracing the simplicity and power of that period. But it had to be functional, with a layout designed for retirement years. We got all that, and more. Jeff listened to our needs, and offered numerous solutions to meet those needs. It was a true collaboration every step of the way. Thank you Jeff for your skills in helping us to make our dreams come true!”

“Mike was able to design us the kitchen we wanted and was very easy to work with. He asks for needs and wants and quickly implements the ideas into the plan with an excellent turnaround time. His services are professional, friendly and without pressure. His goal was to design us the best use of space. He was able to introduce us to our eventual builder and worked well with the entire subcontracted team.”

“I always enjoy working with Mike and Sandy. They are very professional and highly skilled in their areas of expertise. They always have stimulating and creative solutions for my needs as the lead set designer at Crosspoint. I look forward to working with them again!”
Julie Kardatzke Architect, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars2 March 2013
“We hired Julie for a "second opinion" on an addition design for our home. The design we had come up with wasn't quite right, and the cost estimate was much higher than we wanted to spend. We told her we were looking for general ideas, and maybe rough concept drawings of a possible new design. She looked at our current plans and photos of our house, and reviewed my comments on the situation. After coming up with several possibilities, she came to our house with her laptop. During the course of a couple hours we were able to work through several scenarios and come up with a new direction that looks better, feels better, and is more in line with our needs and resources. She helped us to hone in on the important issues, and see that it was possible to move in the direction we wanted to go. She kept to the scope of our request for her services, was very helpful, and the cost was reasonable and fair. We were very pleased with her work.”
A-K Design Professionals LLC

“A-K Design helped me make my dream home come true. I was able to work side by side with A-K Design to communicate my wishes and desires. They showed great flexibility and creativity in coming up with solutions and ideas. I would recommend A-K Design to anybody looking to have a great experience in designing their home.”
Wydeven Architects LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 August 2014
“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!”
Mitch Wise Design,Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 June 2016
“Soon after meeting with Mitch, giving him a vision for our home, we rolled open his plans and immediately said "Absolutely Perfect!" That describes every day of the building process with Mitch. You will not find better! His design, overseeing of building process to make sure everything is done to perfection, materials that are top quality, and you get into your home when promised! His eye for design is incredible; he has one-of-a-kind touches, textures and character, that make a home unique, elegant and at the same time warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend him more highly! Unusual to find someone so driven to perfection, with personality that is a pure delight to work with. His knowledge and passion is unmatched. If you trust him with your vision, he makes an even better dream come true. This is the fourth home we have built, (the first with Mitch) and no one comes close to his giftedness, expertise, attention to detail and results. After ten years, our home still looks new and up-to-date. All who enter say with me, "Absolutely Perfect."”

“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.”
Pine Clearwood Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 July 2016
“We have worked with Pine Clearwood Architects on several relatively small remodeling projects over the past 15 years and I give a high recommendation. Denise Clearwood has a very consultative approach, makes smart functional space recommendations and has a fantastic design style. She is good at debating the pros and cons of options and trouble-shooting problems. We have never had any issues and are always happy with the finished result.”
Keith Friesen
Architects & Building Designers in Wisconsin.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 August 2019
“Kieth has helped us for a number of years with his drafting skills. He is very knowledgeable of construction and understands very well how things are built, this understanding has helped us to come up with solutions that allow me as a contractor to stay on budget as well as resolve project difficulties within budget. He explains the process very well and lays out a realistic time line for clients. He follows through and keeps his word. Keith is a pleasure to work with, his dealings are fair honest and he is a man of his word. I would regard him as the best draftsmen I have ever worked with.”

An architect or building designer in Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin:


  • 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?
