Featured Reviews for Architects in Nevada City, CA

Nicholas Sonder Architect
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2013
“I am a contractor who has worked with Nick Sonder and find his plans to have more than the detail needed to build the project. The 3D renderings that he does bring the project to life for the client and give them a clear picture of what is being designed. Nick is extremely creative and is always bringing new ideas to life through his drawings. Nick Sonder is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about all facets of the construction Industry.”

Lot C Architecture
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 May 2014
“I have worked with Jason of Lot C Architecture many times and often refer new clients to him because he consistently designs a beautiful and functional home. His vision for designing with a contemporary twist on Tahoe luxury homes is amazing to watch and his clients are always impressed. Jason has a talent for listening to what the homeowner wants and getting that into the home design. As a builder of many of Jason's designs, I highly recommend him.”
Siteline Architecture
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 July 2015
“We have been working with Siteline since 2010 on the design and construction of our new garage/shop and major remodel of our home. The team at Siteline is very responsive and have done a great job on coordinating with the planning and building depts as well as with the engineers and other specialists as needed. Their contacts in the area have been invaluable to us by ensuring that the various vendors and subs are reputable and provide good value for their services. We initially compared 3 architects/designers when we chose Siteline and we are very pleased with our choice and highly recommend Siteline to anyone considering or looking for an architectural/design/project management firm. Andrew, Richard and Jeff, congrats on your first 10 years.”
David Wright solar environmental architect
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 February 2013
“With unforeseen fits and starts and delays and stops, David was at my side. As my money waned and defeat reared its ugly head, he was most positive and supportive, but never pushy or elitist or condescending. He "struggled" with my own design, pointing out problems, adjusting as we went, finally ending with a design of his own that was more appropriate to my situation. It was a vertical learning curve on my part, and, as my Father would say, "why do all our lessons have to be so expensive?" Money was well spent on my education and I look forward to completion of my minimalist, bullet-proof, "tree house" in Northern California.”
Hope Architects
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 April 2017
“I worked with Ari Hope for several years at different architecture firms including Hope Architects. I have always appreciated Ari’s work ethic, his desire to serve the client, his accute listening skills and his deep understanding of the human condition. He has fine attention to detail and with over 30 years of experience in the architectural profession has a great understanding of the construction process from construction sequencing to working with city agencies. I highly recommend Hope Architects for your next ground up or remodel project.”
Wallis Design Studio
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 May 2017
“I recommend Wallis Design Studio. We were out of town clients working with Robert and his staff to redesign/remodel a home in El Dorado County. It is a challenge to be 400 miles from your property during the design process. They are patient, efficient, informative and creative. One staff member even worked during holiday closure to be sure that our plans were submitted timely to the county planning department by a deadline that, if we had missed, could possibly have cost us more in fees. Great job. Can't wait to see the finished product.”
Mara Passetti Design
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2014
“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARA! Working with her was a joy. Whatever she said to me in the initial meetings came to life and I was thrilled at the final results. She kept me informed every step of the way and her ideas were fantastic! I have recommended her to numerous friends and I wish her the greatest of success in her endeavors. Her design and her client service is absolutely wonderful!!”
RH Associates, Architects
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 July 2019
“I have work with Daryl on several projects ranging from small to large whole house addition remodels as well as new homes for almost 2 decades. Daryl and his team work well with the clients, providing design that is shaped from the clients desires. His team has always been prompt to answer any questions I might have throughout the construction process with great solutions.”
Graham Krause Architect
Architects in Nevada City, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 July 2023
“Graham was one of the easiest people to work with during our whole house project. He was very attentive to our needs and changes to our plans over the evolution of the project, and worked very well with the county and various other entities during the planning/permitting stages. I would 100% work with Graham again in the future, he was a pleasure to work with.”

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 Nevada City 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 Nevada City 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 Nevada City during initial consultations.
