Featured Reviews for Architects in West Hartford, CT

John R. Schroeder, AIA
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 November 2014
“John R. Schroeder, AIA, you have given us our dream home and by that I mean a home more beautiful than we could have imagined and yet completely suitable to our hectic everyday lives as a family with four young children. You listened to our random ideas and put them together into a design that is better than the sum of its parts and what's more, it was completed on schedule (I didn't think this ever happened!).”
Kemper Associates Architects, LLC
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2012
“Without Jack my house would never have been built. We needed to tuck this little house into a narrow urban lot in a Historic District and make it look like it was always there. We survived 7! public hearings with heavy revision. Jack remained true to my original vision while accommodating the requirements of many other visions of what my house needed to be. His price was fair, his manner engaging and open. My house won an award and i gained a valued friend. He and and his staff are the best architectural firm ever.”
SKM Design LLC

“Be assured that you will be in excellent hands with Stacy at SKM Design. We can not recommend her highly enough! We did not use an architect or designer for our previous 2 renovations and I wish we had known Stacy then. We literally have no regrets with the layout or design choices in our current house. We have a 1920’s traditional colonial and she was excellent at marrying the character of our older home with today’s modern amenities. She leaves no stone unturned, keeps her eyes on the budget, works quickly, is a task master and will come up with a design plan that fits your lifestyle and budget. Stacy will also help you refine or identify your aesthetic if you don’t already have one. For our renovation, she facilitated the bidding process and managed our project every step of the way. She was able to recommend 3 builders for the bidding and a slew of tradespeople. She‘s also a joy to work with and an outstanding human being- you will love having her around.”

TGMcKenna Architect
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2022
“Tim did a very innovative overhaul of our home in Centerville, Massachusetts a few years ago that included adding dormers and living space in the attic as well as combining the second floor of a two-family into one-floor and adding a bedroom to the back of the unit that lost its second floor. Very clever design all around and we love it.”
JWM Architects LLC
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2018
“We hired JWM after obtaining several estimates for the work to turn a hair salon into a gourmet coffee shop. He kept all of his time and work commitments and was very accomodating. He had great design ideas which we incorporated into our design. We really enjoyed working with John.”
Julia Metcalf Architecture & Interior Design LLC
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2014
“We have used Julia Metcalf Architecture and Interior Design for two different projects - an office renovation and a large scale home remodel. Both projects had major architectural and interior design elements. Julia was very easy to work with, and we found her communication skills, both with us and with our contractor, to be exceptional. Everything was very clear and concise. She really understood our design aesthetic, and how to work that into both our home and our office. She was respectful and appreciative of our suggestions, and very conscientious of our budget. Julia has great suggestions on where to splurge and where you can save some money in different areas of each project. In our commercial project, she was extremely knowledgable and meticulous about meeting all various ADA and IBC codes. We strongly recommend Julia Metcalf Architecture and Interior Design, and are thankful to her for helping us create the amazing spaces in which we work and live.”
BMW Residential Design
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 July 2018
“As a developer and builder, I have used BMW Residential Design on many of our new home projects in West Granby and Hartland, CT. I have found Brian to be easy to work with, responsive to our time constraints and easy to reach. He had many excellent design ideas and suggestions using 3-D modeling that proved to be invaluable in visualizing our projects before construction. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for quality, affordable home plans. David Payton – Barndoor Hills Development LLC”

“Nick has done a great job designing the addition to our house. He not only provided the drawings but also helped us with the construction schedule, budget and finding the right contractor. We are so excited about his design of the interior of the addition and the renovation of other spaces. He captured our vision and made it even better. The whole process has been wonderful. Nick is easy to work with and answers all our questions. We highly recommend him. Sara E.”
D. Tarinelli, Architect
Architects in West Hartford, CT
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 May 2016
“Our experience with Don was great from start to finish. Before designing the house we built, he traveled 4 hours to visit the site of the house taking pictures from all angles to determine how best to situate the house on the lot. During the design process, he would take the time to show us things in his own house to compare with what was on the plans. It gave us a better sense of how the plans would translate when we built. After construction started, he was readily available to answer any questions we had about the construction as well as to speak with the builder. His experience with building is a huge asset when it comes to translating the design into a finished product. All in all, our experience was great and we couldn't be happier with the home he designed for us. We highly recommend Don.”

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 West Hartford 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 West Hartford 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 West Hartford during initial consultations.
