Richard A. Keding Architect
New to Angi

Serving Big Sur, CA and surrounding areas

In business since 1981

Accepted as an apprentice by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957, Richard Keding served an extended internship in Wisconsin and Arizona which subsequently developed into a staff position with Taliesin Architects, the successor firm to Frank Lloyd Wright�s office. Later establishing his own firm in California, he has concentrated in the design of distinctive personal residences.\n\nKeding believes that a home must nurture the spirit of those who live there, and consciously draws upon certain architectural design standards and values that support the human experience. His work does not simply rely upon historical precedents. Each individual house is the result of a creative approach to residential design that is appropriate to our time and culture, to the specific site and to the needs of its inhabitants. \n\nEach design must balance a variety of competing demands: spaciousness vs costs, openness vs privacy, ease of construction vs structural integrity, and other similar challenges.\n\nAs a result of successfully resolving these demands, Keding�s designs uniquely fulfill their owners� desires while maintaining quiet consonance with their natural surroundings. An atmosphere of sophisticated repose suffuses these homes. Fine materials and refined detailing complete an environment singularly sympathetic to the lives sheltered in the building.\n\nEvery project is personally designed by Richard Keding who also carefully reviews all work under construction. He is usually assisted in the preparation of construction drawings and specifications by other architects as needed. Ancillary services such as structural engineering, surveys, cost estimates, energy regulation compliance reports, landscaping design, lighting design, and geotechnical investigations are customarily secured from prequalified consultants. \n\nDigital technology in combination with a network of professional associates enables the firm to serve clients regardless of geographical location. Richard Keding is a registered architect in the state of California, and in 1984 was granted certification by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.\n\nTo review recent work of the firm, please click on the link to MY WEBSITE above.

Architects questions, answered by experts

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.

Drawing your own floor plans is acceptable for many kinds of projects, including interior design and room layout. You can use floor plan software to create the plans but keep in mind that the floor plan will only be as accurate as the measurements you take and enter into the software.

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.

In most cases, you don't need to hire an architect for a garage conversion. Your garage conversion contractor should have the skills and experience to help create your desired design. However, if the scope of the conversion is large and complex, and your budget allows, it's smart to hire an architect to oversee the design.
