“It has been a true blessing to have worked with Pete on several different projects. He is an utmost professional in every aspect. His attention to detail, his listening skills and desire to create an atmosphere that pleases his clients is his main goal. As a designer myself, I hired Pete to create my own personal home. I would recommend Pete without hesitation and consider him among the top in his league. Katie Kirby The Roost Interiors 4456 Old Shell Rd Mobile, AL 36608”
Sun Plans Inc
Architects in Semmes, AL
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars24 January 2015
“Sun Plans, Inc and Architect, Debbie Coleman were fabulous to work with in the design of RISE - our passive solar home. Sean and I wanted to build a passive solar, sustainable green design home for years. We searched for the perfect lot, and once found, we searched for the perfect home design. We quickly found Sun Plans, as 100% of their focus is passive solar. We bought Debbie's book, The Sun Inspired House, and found elements of houses that we loved - open floor plans, lofts, atriums, towers, airlock entry ways, and more. You can buy a plan, adapt a plan or work with Debbie on a new design. We thought we could adapt, but soon learned that we had some customized aspects that would lead to the creation of RISE - primarily the clerestory. The design process took about a year from beginning to end, and was done 100% through email and phone calls. Debbie was wonderfully responsive, not only to us as clients, but to our builder, structural engineer, energy analysts, and more. We stay in touch to this day and we do hope to meet in person at some point! Because of Debbie' s design, we were selected to be featured in Home Power magazine - more info and more pictures - Http://www.homepower.com/articles/solar-electricity/project-profiles/mountain-solar Favorite elements: Finding reclaimed lumber from the 1800's for the loft; floor design, my rock - bit of Frank Lloyd Wright; kitchen; patio design and fire pit.”

Coast Architects Inc
Architects in Semmes, AL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2016
“We went to Coast Architects with the dream of a new porch. We wanted a space that our entire family could enjoy now and into the future. We shared our dream of a Southern Porch bursting with charm, comfort and style with Coast Architects. Phillip Owen designed a beautiful porch for us that exceeded our expectations. He divided our porch into four zones. The first was a sitting area around a fireplace with a large television. (This is SEC country) He designed a reading area, a napping area and a gazebo for eating. We just love it. Phillip's architecture is amazing. The ceiling beams are connected with custom metal fabrications. The stain color he recommended is warm and inviting. The fireplace design and cabinetry commands your attention as you walk onto the porch. It is a real focal point. The intricacies of the gazebo ceiling also contribute to making our porch special. Don't hesitate to hire Coast Architects!”

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 Semmes 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 Semmes 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 Semmes during initial consultations.
