Architects in Northbrook, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2013
“Michael Menn designed and constructed with the help of his experienced pool of subcontractors the kitchen of my dreams in an older home that I love for both its tradition and its memories. It is a pleasure for me to come down in the morning to a space so much in keeping with the style of our home and offering me at the same time all that is in modo contemporary for the our time. Michael Menn is a gentleman who honors his word amd his contractural agreements. He was always available to me and responded promptly to any and all concerns or questions that I may have had. Michael is in addition someone with whom one could easily make a lasting friendship. I would not hesitiate for a minute to recommend him to others nor to contact him for any future projects that I had in mind.”

Roth Architects, Inc.
Architects in Northbrook, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 April 2013
“Architectural design of our home. He designed the home, all the layout and configuration and did all the construction drawings. He put our desires into focus and into the design of our home. Outstanding ability to translate our concepts into structure and to implement the design concept into an actual structure that meets all tests. Always available to address any construction design or implementation issues. Works conceptually and practically with the entire build team, designer, builder and all contractors to implement all features without negatively affecting the resultant design and features. The house was under construction for three years. He visited the house on his own at least monthly; spoke to us or met us regularly and met with our builder and interior designer regularly all to insure that it was being built properly.”

“It has been great to work with Shabbir Chandabhai at Burhani Design. He has designed and executed on two buildings we own in Chicago, coming up with a design that enhanced the rental units in the properties. Management of the construction and renovation was great as well. Would highly recommend this company.”

Omar Gutiérrez, Architect
Architects in Northbrook, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2015
“Omar was recommended to me from JAR Corp. He was a delight to work with on this project. He was able to come up with Ideas that I would have never dreamed of by myself. Without Omar my project would have not been the same. He looked at wasted space and turned it into a walk-in linen closet. Everytime I open the door to the closet I say "Thank you Omar!" I would highly recommend Omar whenever an Architect is required. He will really bring your project to life.”
Brehm Architects
Architects in Northbrook, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 February 2014
“Project was an addition to our dining room and porch. Our house was built in the 1920's and Greg Brehm listened to what we were trying to achieve and presented us with several options. He kept the feel of our older house and we are most pleased with the end result. He handled necessary contacts with the city to get approval for the project, and when an issue arose he took care of that as well. I have recommended him and will continue to do so when the opportunity arises.”

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 Northbrook 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 Northbrook 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 Northbrook during initial consultations.
