“Tom Flach, our architect at Kohlmark, 100% understood what we wanted in our new home. But he didn’t stop there, he made the plans better than we even knew were possible. Tom was always available to answer our questions and to help us with any decisions or issues that arose. His skill, his vision, his guidance, and integrity made this experience a lot easier for us.”

A.P. Palladino, llc
Architects in Washington, VA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 November 2014
“Anthony designed our "Green" house, to include geothermal heating, air conditioning, and hydronic radiant floor heat; all natural materials including reclaimed wood, all wood custom cabinets, stone/concrete floors, all-wood interior trim, cedar/stone/cement board exterior; all low/no VOC products; energy efficient casement windows; custom built vanities and other features; and attic design/rough-ins for future living space. Anthony was completely involved, provided oversight, and intervened when necessary, in every phase of the project, from design to building to punch list to warranty work. His knowledge and expertise resulted in a National Green Building Standard (NGBS) "Silver" rating, and his involvement and personalized service exceeded our expectations. You won't find anyone in the building industry more dependable and easier to with; he's like an island in shark infested waters.”

“Amazing Renovation and Designs Company!!!! Wades Home Designs is a highly professional, and more importantly, trustworthy company.

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 Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington during initial consultations.
