Soloway Designs Inc | Architecture + Interiors AIA
Architects & Building Designers in Oro Valley.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 November 2012
“My wife and I hired Soloway Designs Inc to design and build our second home getaway. After a poor experience of doing this once before I vowed it would never happen again; especially from a long distance. On a cloudy Sunday afternoon with boredom setting in, we decided to go out and about and look at houses. By chance, we turned into a driveway that had a hidden treasure, for us, designed by Marc Soloway. Cutting to the chase, a short time later we had some meetings and decided to take the plunge....again. It was a super positive experience and lots of fun.The process or marriage lasted approximately 3 yrs and guess what;we still communicate with each other. They kept their promises,met deadlines,stayed within their forcasted budgets even though we didn't and had great attitude and most importantly always got back to us in a timely manner. Would I do it again???? Absolutely....if I was younger!!! Sam & Patti Weinstein Edmonton,Alberta. Canada.”
Stellar Gray Fine Homes
Architects & Building Designers in Oro Valley.
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.”
Lee Shaw Architecture, LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 October 2016
“It was so gratifying and exciting to work with Lee on our project! He was very professional and extremely creative. He got our "vision" even before we did. Our patio is not just a place to sit and enjoy the outdoors; it is a colorful, distinctive and unique gathering place. We highly recommend Lee's services and look forward to working with him again, ourselves!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 October 2019
“I have employed Ben to completely remodel my house in four different phases over the past 10 years. Ben provided expert advice starting with redesign, blueprints, permits, inspections, sub-contractors and finish details from pre-existing to new construction on our property. His diligent and thoughtful manner successfully negotiated the rough spots which pop up in every project. We are very glad to complete our remodel and meet all our requirements and desires. Great job, Ben!”

Kevin B Howard Architects, AIA

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 February 2013
“We have been working with Kevin Howard and his staff for years. He and his team do an amazing job from conception to completion of a project. His clients are always a pleasure to work with and really appreciate Kevin's talents as an Architect. The spaces he creates are thoughtful and insightful and never disappoint.”
Seaver Franks Architects Inc., AIA
Architects & Building Designers in Oro Valley.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2013
“I have known Mike Franks and Seaver/Franks Architects for the better part of 20 years. He is the ultimate "customer focused" professional and he is a master at working with disparate groups with widely ranging ideas. He really listens to the customer and their ideas, no matter how feasible or not they may be. Out of this consulatative process, he comes back with a concept and an idea that usually "hits it out of the park." I am not in the business or in the trade, but I am a university administrator and volunteer who has been involved in two significant non-profit organizations that retained Seaver Franks to develop plans and renderings for upcoming capital campaigns. Micheal Franks, is clearly a highly respected and outstanding architect in his field, but it should also be noted that he has a strong ties to the community and is engaged from many aspects, from Rotary to supporting the local Catholic hospital organization. I cannot give high enough marks for Michael Franks and his team at Seaver Franks architects. From high end residential homes to complicated commercial properties to attractive and popular restaurants, they have the full scope of experience to handle any project one may be considering.”

Signature Design Studio, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Oro Valley.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 June 2017
“Thanks to Raymond Ybarra, I am living in a home that fulfills my every need and wish. Once I purchased the ideal lot, I was not sure how to proceed or what to expect of the process, but Raymond patiently walked me through every step of the way. I found him to be highly responsive to my ideas; he has the ability to listen and look at photos I had collected of different aspects of the home and come up with wonderful spaces I didn’t know I wanted! Raymond is professional, creative, friendly, reassuring and timely. He associates with quality professionals who deliver excellent results. My home reflects my personality and style and it is a peaceful space. I have been living in this home since July 2016 and Raymond continues to check in with me, which I find very pleasant. With great satisfaction I can recommend Signature Design Studio for your project needs.”
In Place Architecture, PLLC
Architects & Building Designers in Oro Valley.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars9 October 2013
“In-Place Architecture's knowledge and experience has helped us development a plan for our youth retreat in northern Arizona. His understanding of our needs and innovative style produced a design that was both attractive and functional. His diligence reviewing county rules and regulations as well as his understanding of codes and the like allowed us to move through county review with minimal issues. Definitely recommend them.”

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 Oro Valley, AZ, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Oro Valley, AZ 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 Oro Valley, AZ 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 Oro Valley, AZ 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, Oro Valley, AZ 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 Oro Valley, AZ 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?
