"Richard Wood came highly recommended for our landscape renovation in Juniper Trails, Caughlin Ranch. As a licensed landscape architect and architect, he brings great insight and value to landscape, hardscape and architectural details. After visiting several of Richard s projects, we knew that his sensibilities and vision aligned with ours. He is a naturalist with an eye to flow and subtle beauty.

Richard A. Keding Architect
New to Angi

Serving Truckee, 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

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.

Costs depend on project complexity, software requirements, and the draftsperson’s experience.
