brick&batten
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 July 2018
“It is so hard for me to visualize what exterior updates would look like on my house. We have a home built in the 60s and have slowly started changing things. To have Brick & Batten be able to show you visually what different updates would look like is SO helpful! They do such a great job!”
Robert M. Cain, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2013
“Robert M. Cain was the architect for my home, completed in 2009. Photos are elsewhere on this site. Robert M. Cain (Bob) is a brilliant designer and superlative master of construction oversight. As the project began, he listened carefully to us and perfectly and seamlessly incorporated our desires into the house. The building is both beautiful and extremely comfortable. It is a LEED Platinum Home. It has many high performance features such as solar panels and geothermal heat pumps. Passive solar concepts are inherent in the design and allow us the be comfortable much of the year without heating or air conditioning. It has many windows and feels like it is in a forest, although the location is urban. It is a calm and cheerful house. Working with Bob and his staff was a completely delightful experience; it was satisfying in every way. Mary B.”

“S. Diane Johnson Photography photographed the finished project for Anne Sciarrone Architecture, LLC. Anne's work is beautiful and she is a very strong professional. I have worked with her on other projects and each time has been a delight.”
Graystone Design
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 May 2013
“Danny at Graystone is great to work with. I interviewed several companies and felt that he had the experience and quality of workmanship I was looking for in a general contractor. He has great subs working under him that did a great job on the hvac, electrical, framing and drywall. Highly recommended.”
Hagan Architects, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 February 2014
“Tim Hagan took the smoldering remains of our burnt house and created something beautiful out of the ashes. He didn't flinch when he saw what little we had to work with, and, in a stress-filled year, managed to gently mold a beautiful house out of ashes and water. My assessment of Hagan Architects: totally professional, deeply caring, amazingly talented, delightfully innovative.”
3D Virtual Design Drawings
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2019
“I've had the opportunity to work with Denise on two different designs. Extremely helpful in allowing my clients to actually "see" what the spaces will look like. Changing wall panels to contrast the wall color, asking for special camera angles and much more.... Denise was quick and detailed. I highly recommend her services!!”
Wells Studio Architecture & Interiors
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 June 2023
“When I began thinking about refurnishing/designing my apartment, it was important to make sure my requirements were being met - pricing, style, and functionality. Throughout the design process, Katherine presented mood boards, layout options and drawings to help me understand how the room would look. With all these options, I was able to piece together a look that fit my budget and provide that home-y feeling I was looking for. All communications were prompt and professional. I would recommend working with Wells Studio for your architectural and design needs!”
Norris Broyles Architects
Architects & Building Designers in DeKalb County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 September 2021
“I have used Norris Broyles on three projects. He has done complete house design, an in-law suite, and my current project, a finished basement to include bedrooms, kitchen, laundry room, and a few other modifications. On each project, Norris Broyles created superior design work and his plans are so complete that my contractors rarely had a single question during the construction. One of Norris’ skills, besides design, is communication. On each project, Norris listened intently to what I wanted the completed project to look like and each time he has delivered. He is wonderful at translating ideas into a finished plan. His wealth of experience comes into play with each project. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Norris Broyles and his firm whether it’s a room, a large area, or a complete house.”

An architect or building designer in DeKalb County, GA 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 DeKalb County, GA 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 DeKalb County, GA 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?
