High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home!\nI make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes.\nI have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. \n\nI am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. \nI have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

"Samuel has been a great asset to the progress of our project. From the initial meeting at my house to discuss the project to the final plans gleaning our ideas and putting them on paper. As construction began to the current 80% completion Samuel is there answering questions and at times directing construction taking a personal interest in the project. I highly recommend Studio North Homes."

"Working with Zander at AO Architecture and Design has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His blend of creative vision and practical expertise truly sets him apart in the world of architecture. Zander has an uncanny ability to listen and understand his client needs, transforming those ideas into thoughtful, innovative designs that not only meet but exceed expectations. His attention to detail is exceptional. Every line, every angle, and every material choice is carefully considered to ensure that the final product is both functional and aesthetically stunning. What I particularly appreciate about Zander is his commitment to sustainability and how seamlessly he integrates ecofriendly practices into his designs, making the spaces he creates not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious. Zanders collaborative approach makes him a joy to work. His passion for design is evident in everything he does, and it shows. I cant recommend Zander highly enough."

"Artios Architects did a wonderful job on the schematic design and creation of documents for the general contractor. In a mixed used building we converted a portion of the commercial space into two new residential apartments. We selected Jane and Jose to do the architectural design. They made fantastic and creative use of the space to optimize its functional and aesthetic appeal. The result was two new apartments that everyone loves and very easy to rent."

FAQs for architectural service projects in Nantucket, MA

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
