“We hired Phipps Home Design for the renovation our beach house on Anna Maria Island. My wife and I sat with Mr. Phipps in our home, explained our likes and dislikes and wishes.

Beacon Home Design
Architects in Longboat Key, FL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2017
“We are so pleased we picked Beacon Design to design our dream retirement home. After saving ideas on Houzz for a couple years before we started, we shared all our Ideabooks with AJ. He was able to design just the house we wanted taking into consideration all our ideas and tastes. He really listened to us and we could not be happier. He was flexible, open to changes and his team was a pleasure to work with. He guided us through the process, gave us great advice and ensured we could meet all the demands of the building department. He worked with our builders to produce a great final product and we are extremely happy with our wonderful new home.”

Innovative habitat architecture + design
Architects in Longboat Key, FL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 January 2014
“We bought an home that had been built in the 1950's in Tampa, Florida. It had been added to by previous owners and was a stylistic mess. It was very run down too. I hired the Architect Bradley Smith to renovate the home. He did an amazing job in sprucing it up and making it look more cohesive. The exterior was beautiful after he was finished renovating it. He was very careful about details too. He has wonderful taste. He was easy to work with and we worked well together. He stayed within the budget limits and was very professional. I highly reccomend him.”

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 Longboat Key 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 Longboat Key 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%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Longboat Key during initial consultations.
