BKW Architects, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 February 2020
“I chose BKW Architects (Keegan Winkeller - Principle) for my full gut rehab project in Edwards, Colorado in summer of 2019. The scope of the job was to create final working plans and renders, etc. for the remodel and present to the Design Review Committee of the HOA for design approval which required a stamped plan set. Keegan has a really good eye for design and has worked on many very high end residential projects in the greater Vail, CO valley. His 14 Plus years experience in architecture along with his previous background having worked on construction projects (remodels and new builds) gives Keegan an excellent insight into really how projects need to be approached and managed both from a design, execution and budgetary perspective. His depth of knowledge and ability is superior to many in the field. He was most professional in all our dealings, during and after the project completed. I would definitely recommend BKW for any such projects and would hire them again on future projects. It was truly a pleasure doing business with BKW.”
TKP Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2013
“The architects at TKP have great vision and practical ideas. I had spent months working with another architect to design an addition to our 55-year-old home but nothing clicked. Then Karen Keating looked all through our home, sat down and in a matter of minutes roughly sketched out a plan which included a dining nook, den, office, bath and storage room. I knew we'd found the firm with which we wanted to work. Everyone that we worked with at TKP was respectful of our ideas, and then made them even better. We love our three-year-old, 1000 square foot "new" space. It flows beautifully with the original house.”
Beth Levine Architect, Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 April 2016
“I am an interior designer. Beth and I have worked together for many years on projects around the United States. When I required an architect on a project, I requested Beth to be part of the team. She is professional, precise, organized and creative, knows structure well and is able to find solutions to difficult issues. I highly recommend her.”
Eggers Architecture, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 December 2014
“Don is the consummate professional. I have worked w/ Din for several years and so relieved to find such a sharp, bright and driven individual; a pleasant departure from those who claim the industry experience. Don exuded creative, quality leadership skills for each of my clients I personally referred him. Trust me, he won't disappoint - he's honest and he can handle the tricky details this industry demands.”
Savage Architecture, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 August 2017
“Adam did a tremendous job on our addition. We had a 1990’s style 4” log cabin with detached garage. The inside of the cabin was all knotty pine, but we wanted a contemporary look for the new addition that tied the cabin to the garage. Adam created a beautiful post modern feel to the addition that tied the old school logs & pine to a contemporary mountain style entry, pool room, mud room and new bedroom/bath. I highly recommend Savage Architecture.”
Martin Manley Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 September 2013
“I have worked with John Martin for years and find him and his work to be highly professional and very much in tune with what the owner wants and needs. Our most recent project together took longer than expected, but John did whatever the owner needed and we were able to get the project going. I would definitely recommend Martin-Manley Architects for any type of architectural design.”
Equinox Architecture LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 May 2013
“My wife and I decided to undertake the daunting task of designing and building a beach house in Baja, Mexico. We hired Robbie Dickson with Equinox Architecture because of his strong experience designing second homes for families. Even though most of his prior work was from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado using wood (very different from the coastal deserts of Baja), we felt comfortable that he would design a fabulous getaway for us. We were not disappointed. Take a look at the photos and you can see for yourself. It was a great experience all around. The builders who didn't speak english commented that they were the best architectural plans they had ever built from, the easiest to follow and with all the appropriate details called out to make building go smoothly and efficiently, even in a foreign country. Hi marks for Equinox Architecture. Larry and Paige Warshaw”

Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 December 2015
“We had an outstanding experience working with Mike Suman. He was able to capture our vision of our dream home and create something that was a piece of art. He was always respectful of our timeline, and wishes. He worked very closely with and maintained an excellent rapport with our builder throughout the process.”
TAB ASSOCIATES INC
Architects & Building Designers in Vail.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 November 2012
“TAB AND ASSOCIATES served as the architect on a large 10,000 SF home I served as General Contractor on. He and his firm were excellent to work with and supplied a superb set of working drawings from which we built the home. He also served as the Owners Rep for the project, and did a splendid job of cooridinating all members of the build team(Engineers, contractors, owner, etc.) to complete a difficult project on time and on budget. We completed the project with very few problems and with a very satisfied owner.”

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 Vail, CO, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Vail, CO 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 Vail, CO 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 Vail, CO 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, Vail, CO 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 Vail, CO 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?
