Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.

Elite Home Design, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2015
“Chris developed our home plans for construction. He was creative and showed excellent skill as an architect. He delivered exactly what we were looking for, and was willing to work with our Builder to accept minor recommendations which enhanced the overall construction cost. His 3-D modeling system was very helpful to visualize just how the rooms will fit together. His pricing was fair and we are very happy customers. I would definitely work with him again.”
W. Michael Davis, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2018
“The first words that come to mind when describing Michael are honest and compassionate. He really was interested in designing our ‘dream home’. His knowledge and experience as an architect was invaluable. If this review included a scoring system of 1-10, he would easily score a 10. We consider Michael and his sweet wife as our newest ‘life long friends’.”

“Ty is extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He turns floor plans, elevations and sketchup around incredibly quick and all very thorough. Would definitely recommend him for any scale project you have!”
McLelland Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2015
“After having seen several projects, residential and commercial, McLelland Architecture had completed, we decided to go with the expertise of Jon McLelland. What attracted me most were innovative ideas, an interest in sustainability and LEED, and the proven talent to combine older historical buildings with a touch of modern. We received expert drawings, as well as great recommendations for our residential kitchen remodel, a major undertaking in an older home that required the removal of load bearing walls and complete reconfiguration of the space. McLelland Architecture provided fantastic services, and we would hire them again in a heart beat - highly recommended!”
CDP Architecture, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 June 2015
“I've worked with CDP on several projects and without any reservations would recommend them. They are remarkable at translating a client's vision into a finished product that stays within the frame of constructability and the client's project resources.”
Studio S Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 December 2018
“Sandi covers all bases - she is honest, flexible, amazingly easy to work with, always professional, expertly skilled, tech savvy, and an outstanding listener who also offers valuable advise and "saved the day" solutions when needed. After walking two novices through the process, she delivered final and flawless construction plans to us in mid-2016, and our custom dream home has since materialized, with stunning results. We couldn't be happier. We opted for Sandi's higher tier pricing option, and it was worth every penny. Don't let her pink-trimmed tool belt give you the impression that she's a light-weight!”
Home Design Works
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 September 2017
“We are completely satisfied with the level of service we received from Home Design Works. Our Tennessee lake home was in need of a face lift and an extensive remodel/addition. Home Design Works had been highly recommended to us by a local builder. They certainly did not disappoint. Matt Lawler took time to completely understand our lifestyle, needs and desires for our home (functionally and aesthetically). Our project presented unique challenges with property setback limitations. His creative architectural ideas, vision and experience were indispensable in making our dream become reality while working within the constraints of our property. We are now living in our recently transformed home and could not be happier with what we have ended up with.”
Michael Goorevich Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2015
“Michael Goorevich has a rare combination of vision, persistence, and client advocacy. Throughout the process of designing, building, and appointing our new house - and it was our first rodeo - he was able to translate complex ideas and visions into a language and image we could understand. He was able to take our unformed, disorganized ideas and produce a beautiful, modern, functional house that our young family adores. The fact that it came on both beautiful and on budget... we were very, very satisfied.”
Clements Wimsatt Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Nashville.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2019
“Working with Clements Wimsatt has been an absolute pleasure. I worked with them on several projects - a modern sunroom addition, two new construction homes, and a 10 unit multi-family building. I have been very satisfied with their overall work on each project and I am exceptionally happy with their attention to detail. The drawings they produce are very thoughtful and intelligible - to customers and contractors alike. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a creative, professional, and experienced architect. Five stars!”

“Carlton Architecture has a great team and are a pleasure to work with. They are easy to communicate with and easy to work with. They are knowledgeable about architecture, design and construction whether it's new construction or a remodel.”

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 Nashville, TN, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN 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, Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN 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?
