"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

"Trudy from True Line Studio is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her exceptional work on our Luxe Realty studio headquarters project has left us thoroughly impressed. We purchased an old bank building with a vision to transform it into a multifunctional space, combining commercial and residential units. Trudy played an instrumental role in bringing our vision to life. From the very first consultation to the final project completion, Trudy exhibited unwavering dedication and a profound understanding of our needs. She navigated the complex process of acquiring all the necessary drawings and permits with ease and precision. Her extensive knowledge of the local regulations and zoning requirements streamlined the permitting process, saving us both time and money. What sets Trudy apart is her ability to balance the artistic and functional aspects of architecture. She seamlessly blended the historical charm of the old bank building with modern design elements, creating a space that is both elegant and highly functional. The transformation was nothing short of remarkable, and we owe it all to her expertise and vision. Trudy's attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to excellence made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. She worked closely with our team, ensuring that all our requirements were met and even exceeded. Her dedication to our project went above and beyond our expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend Trudy to anyone seeking a commercial or residential architect. Her talent, professionalism, and dedication are truly exceptional.

"Great! This review is long overdue. Marc was fair with his price and very meticulous with plans. We hired him after many interviews with other architects in 2014. Always was available as building was in process to address problems that arose with our builders. He also solved the problem of our garage flooding when we had a hard rain. Think of him often because he saved us tons of money and headaches! He went above and beyond the call of duty."

With 30 years of business and over 100,000 completed projects, Archadeck’s experience and professionalism ensures unmatched quality and service. Family owned. Corporate name: Integrity Enterprises Inc. We are a full-service design & build company. We are not set up for any kind of repair or maintenance work.

"We absolutely loved our experience working with Sara (designer) and the Archadeck team on our new backyard deck. The team was extremely responsive to requests and adjustments throughout the process. There were a few punch list items that came up after the build was complete that they had a technician come out and fix very quickly. Would definitely recommend Archadeck to those looking not just for a new deck, but an overall professional, high quality build experience."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Hiring a contractor with knowledge about historic renovations and reviewing their previous work is important. You can find a historic home renovation contractor by calling your local historic preservation office, historical society, or any local historic museums nearby. The staff may have suggestions for specialized contractors who have worked for them. You can also ask them about historic home restorations that you have seen and liked in your area to get recommendations for pros.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
