Customers say: True professional

"Archcube is absolutely amazing. The owner/principal Luis is a highly skilled and competent architect and home remodeler. Luis handled our extensive home remodeling project from the design and drawing phase all the way to completion. He impressed us over and over again with his responsiveness, attention to detail, and integrity. He truly cares and delivers. His fees are fair and reasonable. I would never consider using anyone else for a construction project."

"We worked with Ariel of Arch Calderon to design an outdoor space for our bar, K-OSS Lounge. The space was challenging, because it needed to incorporate existing architecture that we could not alter. Ariel came up with creative solutions to our challenges with amazing results. We now have a beautiful, elegant oasis in the middle of an otherwise industrial block, and our customers love it – we’ve become the place to be on a Friday/Saturday night. We are now working with Arch Calderon for the renovation of our interior and are looking forward to the results."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.
