Jodi Gillespie Interior Design
Architects in Elk River, MN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 March 2016
“We have worked with Jodi on two occasions, The first was an extensive remodel of our loft open area: kitchen, living, dining, entry and patio. Several years later we Jodi worked with us on a total redo of our master bed, bath, and closet. We have also seen some of Jodi's projects and are amazed at how unique each one is. Jodi spent time with us to get to know our "style" and worked closely with us during the project. I especially appreciate the way that she distills our wish-list to several options to choose from in both designs and finishes. We have learned to trust her vision. One example of this is the Ingo Maurer "schilitz" light hanging over our dining table. We weren't totally sold on it at first but it is now one of our favorite pieces. Jodi was with us every step of the way and the vendors and craftsmen she works with are wonderful.”

“My husband and I are working with Jon to design our forever home. We are about 90 percent through design development. Jon has been great throughout the process. I really feel like we’re a team and he’s been able to develop our ideas into a home that fulfills all our needs and embodies our values and aesthetics. We want a home that is healthy and functional but not oversized. Jon is very knowledgeable about healthy building materials and was able to design within our principles and I feel we have everything we need and more. The design is efficient and every inch is intentional. I am so happy with our plan so far and highly recommend Jon. He’s professional, creative, and incredibly detail-oriented.”

Jim Kuiken Design
Architects in Elk River, MN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 September 2012
“Jim Kuiken, Jim Kuiken Design, is a talented home designer who has won multi-awards from his industry peers -- this is the highest praise a designer can receive. Jim's work is noted for its roots in nature, use of light, innovative use of materials and an uncanny facility to design for the landscape. His influences include Prairie and California styles, and are represented by original,, function use of space. A Jim Kuiken design brings the outside in, and creates living spaces that you want to spend time in. The capacity in which I worked with Jim Kuiken Design has been as a colleague in the building industry and marketing/communications specialist. The cost of the project only refers to the projects that Jim Kuiken Design works on.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2016
“It's rare to find an architect that immediately grasps your clients' vision, especially when they don't know what they want (or need)...often times, it's a process that takes many meetings. Jim was able to work with my clients and create a completely new, unique and wonderfully artful design that transformed an average home into a showcase that will both functional and beautiful. His attention to detail will be evident in every aspect of the home design.”
Fluidesign Studio
Architects in Elk River, MN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 July 2013
“Our project, which took approximately 3 1/2 months from start to completion, included both a kitchen and basement remodel. Anchor Builders recommended that we use Fluidesign for our design work. Fluidesign did the layout and consulted with us on all phases of the project. They were available and helpful at every phase of construction. In addition to producing an excellent floor plan, they assisted with major and minor decisions including selection of appliances, cabinets, lighting fixtures, carpeting, paint colors, etc. All the options available would have been very overwhelming without their help. The design team was always attentive. Shelly and Carrie helped us transfer concepts into reality. They did so by listening to us and offering us choices that reflected our wishes and their excellent taste, We feel very confident in recommending their services to others.”

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 Elk River architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

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.
