Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.

Newick Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars16 September 2015
“I engaged Newick Architects to design the renovation and reconstruction of my home. I believe it was a very good client/architect relationship. Additionally, we partnered with a contractor of my choice and it became a fruitful 3-way collaboration. (In fact, the architect and contractor have worked together on numerous projects subsequent to my introduction.) I researched over 60 architects before selecting Newick Architects, and did so because I believed we shared an aesthetic sensibility, which was borne out by the project's successful fruition.”
LEAP Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 July 2015
“LEAP designed our modern and green home addition. They handled much of the creative work on the project, as well as detailed renderings, bid consultations, and construction supervision. LEAP's work was very creative and responded directly to our needs. They found ways to get energy efficiency and modern design details into a "buildable" and cost-conscious project. They are humble, hardworking, and consistent. I would choose to work with LEAP Architecture again without hesitation.”
Alisberg Parker
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2014
“As we near completion of an Alisberg Parker project I am inclined to say that it has been, plain and simple, a "pleasure"! As a builder I can attest that Susan Alisberg & Ed Parker bring a refreshing sophistication to their work. Alisiberg Parker Architects has carved out a niche where classic tradition and a fresh up to date design sense mesh perfectly for todays living. In working with Susan it has become clear that her clients not only receive turn key drawings and specifications but also a full time designer who has her finger on the pulse of current style and trend. Its hard to come by an architect with such a keen eye and unwavering passion for their work.”
LR Lerner Architecture PC
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2015
“Lanny Lerner is an outstanding architect who listens carefully and observes astutely to produce design that is beautiful and functional. He recently worked with us on our Manhattan apartment--we are delighted. I highly recommend Lanny Lerner.”
Michael Lewis Architects PC
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 November 2014
“Michael Lewis is a consummate designer with years of experience, talent, and organizational ability. We felt supported by Michael and his able firm throughout our project. There was a culture of sensitivity to our needs throughout the firm and skillful handling of issues as they inevitably cropped up. The firm worked with our century old house to bring it into the modern age, by retrofitting an amazing kitchen into limited space and converting an unusable attic space into a dream master bedroom suite with dormers, increasing our living space significantly. We highly recommend this firm!”
Neil Hauck Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 September 2017
“We have done several projects with Neil over the years. He listens to his clients in order to develop wonderful structures that exceed their expectations. He pays attention to the details and helps to ensure a great result through his friendly and collaborative personal style. I would highly recommend Neil's office for any project!”
Little Boxes Studio Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 December 2022
“My home is one of the exhibits listed here. This architect was easy to work with and gave appropriate and timely advice when needed. She is currently working another project for me, a renovation of a Frank Lloyd Wright's apprentice work in the Berkshires.”
Cardello Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 February 2013
“I've used Bob and his crew to design a den addition for us. Bob has both an architectural and design background which is a huge plus. Not only did the den look great as a room, but he was helpful at figuring out how each area would function well and what to put in that space. He worked great with my builder and was a great go between when things got a big hairy. Funny and affable, Bob was a pleasure to work with.”
HS-Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 February 2013
“We had a complete renovation done of our bedroom wing with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and a hallway under Heike's guidance. This was the 2nd project we have done with her, and we are once more thrilled with the result! What we like about Heike is that, she is a nice person to work with, she listens well, does extra research, has a lot of knowledge of materials and where to get them, and last but not least the fact that she comes from Europe and understands our modern European taste well. She introduced a number of nice touches in the overall design and paid attention to the overall energy efficiency of the renovation. She also worked with our contractor and the building department of our town. We can full-heartedly recommend her.”
Contadino Architects AIA
Architects & Building Designers in Norwalk.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 December 2016
“Beyond our commendation for their successful, creative (especially budgetary) and timely completion of our home and a second project, a planned addition to an income-producing property, we appreciate Contadino Architects, led by Louis Contadino, for their practicality, sincerity, professionalism and spirit. Through every step of each project, their talented, practical application of designing principles to achieve consistent scale, pleasing proportions and balance, complemented by their attention to details and enhancements, underpin the many reasons why we intend to continue our relationship with Contadino and to turn to them as our new needs develop”

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 Norwalk, CT, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Norwalk, CT 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 Norwalk, CT 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 Norwalk, CT 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, Norwalk, CT 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 Norwalk, CT 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?
