Designlink Architecture and Interiors
Architects & Building Designers in Arizona.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 August 2015
“We hired Designlink Architecture to renovate our 1980's home. Nothing has been done since it had been built, and though the bones were good, it was dark, chopped up, with very poor room flow. Debra Weisberg, Architect, removed several walls and created new spaces for laundry, kitchen and master bathroom. Debra presented her proposal in such a manner that we knew exactly what our costs were going to be. No hidden costs. At our request, Designlink assisted us with the contractor's bid analysis. She then worked with the selected contractor throughout the entire remodel. We also utilized her interior decorating abilities. We found this internal capability a bonus. She is a good listener and is able to put your thoughts to paper and design. We are very happy with the work Designlink has done and we would highly recommend them. Frank McLanis”

“Matt has designed us a home come true in Sedona AZ. He has made something that could have been stressful lots of fun! Matt has a wonderful gift of communication and listening to what the home owners wants and need. He is a rare find in the technology driven world. He has created our home into artwork with pen and paper which we will proudly dispay for a lifetime. Thank Matt, Wendy, Peter & Alina Rella”

“Aude is an excellent professional. Her designs for our project are wonderful and she is exceptionally proficient. She listens to your wishes and magically interprets them into a comprehensive and detailed design. I highly recommend Architectural Design Studio for your next project.”
Mark Blomquist Architects, PLLC
Architects & Building Designers in Arizona.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 October 2019
“Mark is very honest and a straight-shooter. Talking with him was an answer to prayer because he was so honest that he let us know that for what we were looking for a custom build was not going to be the best option for our money. I will definitely contact him for any add-ons, remodels, or new construction in the future!”
Klee Design Collaborative
Architects & Building Designers in Arizona.
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.”
Stellar Gray Fine Homes
Architects & Building Designers in Arizona.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 March 2014
“My wife and I chose Stellar Gray to build a new home in the Tucson area. We were shown examples of his previous work and the design, materials and craftsmanship were both unique and better than other options we saw in the marketplace. Our build experience and continued relationship with Jim Gray has been one of the many positives in our relocation to Arizona, and we are currently working on a new building project.”

“Heather was amazing. I had a small idea of what I wanted, but told her I was open to ideas. She blew me away! Her creation was well beyond my wildest imagination and I am thankful that my family and I will enjoy her creation for decades to come. Amazing professional.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Arizona, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Arizona architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Arizona that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Arizona cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Arizona architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.


Questions to ask prospective Arizona architects:


  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)
  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • 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 a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
  • What will I need to provide?
