Architects in Portland, OR
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 October 2023
“When we embarked on the journey of remodeling our house, we were looking for an architect who could understand our vision, breathe life into it, and ultimately deliver a home that exceeded our expectations. In this quest, we were incredibly fortunate to find David, a true master of their craft. From the very first consultation, it was evident that David was not just an architect but an artist. He took the time to listen attentively to our ideas, hopes, and desires, and quickly grasped the essence of what we wanted to achieve. Throughout the entire project, his attention to detail, commitment to quality, and creative thinking were truly exceptional. The design phase was a delightful journey, as David presented us with a range of innovative concepts that perfectly fused modern aesthetics with the unique character of our existing home. His ability to balance functionality and beauty was truly remarkable. We were involved every step of the way, and David patiently guided us through the decision-making process, offering insightful suggestions and solutions whenever we faced dilemmas. During the construction phase, David continued to shine. His strong project management skills ensured that the work proceeded smoothly and on schedule. The choice of materials, the precision of the craftsmanship, and the overall attention to detail were nothing short of outstanding. The end result of David's work is nothing short of spectacular. Our remodeled home is a testament to his vision, expertise, and unwavering dedication to creating a space that is as beautiful as it is functional. It is a place where we look forward to spending time with family and friends, and it has become a true reflection of our lifestyle and personality. David has not only transformed our house but also enriched our lives. His talent, professionalism, and passion for his work are evident in every aspect of the project. We feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to collaborate with such a gifted architect, and we wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone seeking a remodeling or design professional.”
The Design Department, Inc.
Architects in Portland, OR
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 April 2015
“Pat did a fantastic job of designing a bump-out for my basement remodel to accommodate the new stairs I had to put in to meet code (very old house). I could not visualize what was going to be done to that part of my home and overall remodel until she walked me through the design, and then ---boom, it hit me! Light, windows, beautiful space utilization and best of all ---it looks like it has always been a part of the house ---does not look like a add-on at all. She was wonderful to work with, listened to what I wanted, and then provided a design to exceed what I thought I could have. She provided great drawings for the contractor and was just really good to work with. I have recommended her to many people and just can't say enough good things about her work and abilities!”

Departure l Architecture
Architects in Portland, OR
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2015
“Departure came out to our property after the 2013 Build-It-Green tour and talked to us about potential of building an ADU. A year later, we decided to move forward with building an ADU and again, contacted Dan Lajoie. He came out to our property with the notes and ideas discussed the previous year and was willing to spend a long time discussing our hopes for our ADU. He was able to take our ideas and create a beautiful space that works perfectly for us and our property. Throughout the beginning of the process Dan was available to answer our questions, he spent time sharing pictures and showing us ideas as well as meeting with us regularly to look at his progress. He always took our perspective into account and reworked some of the drafts to ensure we were getting what we wanted; but he also had fantastic ideas that we had not thought of and did a great job inserting his personal character into the project. Overall, we have been really impressed with Dan's patience and his ability to turn a small space into something so functional and beautiful.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your 97213 architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in 97213 can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%.
