“Rick Hauser and his staff were a pleasure to work with. We found In.Site:Architecture online when we were looking for architects in our area. Even though our home is a few hours away from their office we had excellent communication and collaboration throughout the design phase. They were very knowledgeable about materials and systems while keeping us mindful of the budget. We were particularly impressed by their enthusiasm for our project. We were fully engaged throughout the whole process and the result is the perfect home for us.”

“I had the opportunity to work with Robin in a secondary educational setting. Through our connection I had the opportunity to become familiar with Robin's work and was able to see several examples of her previous work and recent projects. Robin's education and experience have allowed her to execute a diverse array of projects. Her personality and commitment, coupled with her knowledge, make her a joy to work with. She is concious of project time frames as well as budget constraints. She works diligently to provide designs that are functional, aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible.”

“Greater Living is a long time partner to myself and many Rochester-area builders. They have a great portfolio of plans to choose from, which helps my clients get started in the design process. Working with Chris Bonanno, he used his portfolio of plans to create a custom plan by improving on a past design.”

KCB Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Darien Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2018
“in 2016 we finished a complicated renovation of a circa 1887 historic City home. We had to address serious structural issues, the treatment of previously hidden architectural features and the sensitive modification of the building to accommodate modern systems within a fixed budget. All of this work had to be approved by NYS Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO"). The project was approved on time and finished under budget because of the efforts of the skilled and experienced professionals at KCB. They have a very effective working relationship with SHPO, strong technical skills and understand how to control costs while still delivering a high quality finished product.”

“Excellent and professional. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Accessible and ready to answer any questions. Very prompt service. Highly recommend for any project, both commercial or residential.”
The Landing Company
Architects & Building Designers in Darien Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 September 2014
“I can only give the highest recommendation for the Landing Company. Will Klassen is one of the most creative people I have ever met. He also has the ability to discover what type of creativity (or style) his customer most enjoys. I never once felt "pushed" into a design I didn't like, but rather was "stretched" in my choices and without exception the end result exceeded my expectations. For example, I wanted to use a large piece of "live-edge" slate for a back-splash for my stove. Will made it happen in a way I didn't imagine and it looked stunning. A telling comment by a long-time friend the first time she saw the renovation finished was, "It's very YOU--classy but comfortable!"”

“Rob is responsive, thorough and easy to work with. He designed a roof that was able to fit in an area of 3 different roof heights and provided a quick turnaround. I would recommend Rob to anyone looking for design services.”

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 Darien Center, NY, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Darien Center, NY 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 Darien Center, NY 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 Darien Center, NY 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, Darien Center, NY 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.

  • Can you handle my special requests?
