Featured Reviews for Architects in Mount Desert, ME

skaala architecture, LLC
Architects in Mount Desert, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 August 2016
“We never intended to live in a dream house. Good, functional, and thoughtful architecture would have been fine. But our home on coastal Maine is so beautifully designed that the builder uses it to advertise to clients! Working with Dave Johnson at Skaala was nothing less than a superb experience. Through the design phase until the last drop of paint, Dave was a reassuring presence. When we moved in we already knew every corner of the house intimately and three years later it continues to give us pleasure and a true sense of home.”
Eric Reinholdt, Architect
Architects in Mount Desert, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2013
“As a contractor and project manager I've worked on several projects with Eric Reinholdt, and hope that there are more in the future. He has been an integral part of the team on every venture; providing skilled and experienced design work for the clients, and accurate and timely information to the tradesmen on site. Accessibility and attention to detail mean everything to construction projects, and I've found no one better than Eric on those fronts. Eric has a firm grasp on both architecture and project execution, and has shared my obligation to client satisfaction on all projects. The clients count on his architectural ability, and I count on his technical ability... he hasn't failed yet.”

Talented, practically oriented and willing to work with his clients and others in a collaborative fashion are just a few of the things that make him a fantastic architect.”

George Gekas Design
Architects in Mount Desert, ME
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2014
“George Gekas has been a gift in our lives. In 2011, we purchased a tiny wreck of a cottage on a beautiful piece of land on Mt. Desert Island. There were many rigid restrictions re construction, due to the location and history of the property. George found creative and marvelous solutions to every problem. Every inch of space was utilized in the best possible way. His vision matched and encouraged our dreams. He created a magical place for us and our family, and we are grateful.”

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 Mount Desert 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 Mount Desert 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.
