Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2014
“It is my pleasure to write a review for Robert Lenahan. We hired Robert to help us with the renovation of our kitchen. I cannot say enough about Roberts thoroughness, his knowledge and understanding of what we were hoping to accomplish, his strong work ethic and above all, his ability to listen to his clients and make them feel comfortable and secure in decisions that were being made. Roberts gregarious personality is a bonus when it comes to working with other professionals. I would recommend anyone looking for a wonderful outcome to their project to hire Robert Lenahan.

Market Square Architects PLLC
Architects in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 December 2022
“Rob Harbeson and Adam Wagner at Market Square Architects PLLC ("MSA") simply did an amazing job in the overall process of designing our home. The concept meetings and design suggestions for our 6,600SF residence located in Rye Beach NH with MSA were flawless and the recommendations as made by Rob and his team were then carried out and constructed by the custom builder Dick Southwick (Southwick Construction, Inc.) who did an amazing job at constructing a one-of-a-kind luxurious home in Rye. In meeting with Rob and his team, from the early discussions and hand sketches of conceptual ideas through a myriad of physical design idea changes during the construction process, every phase and facet of our project was done in exemplary fashion! All of the design architects at MSA were very accommodating and welcoming of ideas and changes and made the entire process seamless and stressless. We especially appreciated the 3-D walkthroughs of the residence as designed and created by MSA so we could get a "feel" and "flow" of the home prior to the physical construction. Every member of the MSA team was appreciated by us and their guidance was simply invaluable. We highly recommend Rob Harbeson and his team at MSA for any project both large and small. Simply said, the entire team was incredibly professional, reliable, cost efficient, and effective at every stage of our main house project and detached carriage house project.”

Salmon Falls Partners
Architects in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 June 2013
“For more than two years commencing in August 2002 I worked with Hope and Brad of Salmon Falls Woodworks to restore and renovate a large c1725 house my husband and I purchased in 2001. We lived in the house throughout the project, and what could have been fraught with tension and difficulty was a wonderful adventure. There is not a room in the house that they did not touch with their skill and care. The kitchen and laundry area presented a major design and construction challenge, but Brad and Hope transformed a warren of small dark rooms into a beautiful, sunny space that functions perfectly for two active cooks. While remaining true to the spirit and aesthetic of the house this space now has 21st century efficiency and satisfies our modern desire to connect the interior with the garden and landscape beyond. It was a delight to work with two people whose high standards matched my own. Hope and Brad are experienced craftsmen who work with great sensitivity, conscientiousness and integrity. Further, their design and execution skills for both cabinet making and general construction are unmatched in my experience. Any client is well advised to trust Salmon Falls Woodworks to deliver a beautifully executed project.”
WINTER HOLBEN architecture + design
Architects in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 August 2017
“We enjoyed working with Brandon and his staff. He and Cecelia were able to answer the many questions we had with great explanations. Though we only had a few basic ideas for our house, they created multiple options for us to consider. Our project has a few unique aspects. Brandon and crew worked with us to integrate these aspects into a cohesive and personalized design. We highly recommend Winter Holben!”
Charles Hoyt Designs
Architects in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 March 2017
“Charles Hoyt has been a wonderful colleague to work with. Charlie brings a unique master builder background to his design work and his finished houses always amaze me in how well he can blend modern with shingle style. An artful designer with a well rounded carpenters experience makes Charlie a truly resourceful Yankee architect.”
Keery Design
Architects in Portsmouth, NH
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 August 2015
“Keery Design planned my retirement home in Scituate, MA on the same lot of land owned by my daughter and son-in-law. Because of zoning regulations the house was limited to 750 square feet. If anyone had told me prior to David's design for my home that I would be happy in 750 square feet I would not have believed it. But I am thrilled with the design and the livability of my home. Every square inch is usable space. There is a loft built in over the kitchen for my grandchildren's visits. The house is open and airy with gorgeous window views of the blueberry bushes and the woods at the edge of the property The angles in the home and the high ceilings create a feeling of space.. The house was designed to coordinate with my daughter's home and it does that beautifully. David worked throughout the process with the builder and offered many wonderful suggestions about material and accessories and that helped me to stay within my budget. The result is a home which I love and visitors rave about when they come. Beautiful space creates a feeling of contentment and peace. This space does that for me. I couldn't be happier with the design and building of my home.”

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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth during initial consultations.
