To say that we are a small firm is an understatement. We offer services based on the concept of architecting when we want to. This doesn't mean that we cannot or will not meet deadlines that you need; it just means that if you need plans in a month, we are not the firm for you. Typical project size will vary based on complexity, timeline, and location. However, if the project is too large or too complex, we will refer you to our parent firm, which is a full-service architectural firm. Triumvirate is located in the Metro-Atlanta area. Local projects will be simpler for us to accommodate; however, we will do projects in New York City, Northwest Ohio/ Southeast Michigan, and Northern Florida. Again, if your heart is set on using our services in a location that we do not commonly service, exceptions can be made or we will refer you to our parent firm. We are very proud to offer services that are realistic, fair, and satisfactory to your dreams, needs and wants. With over 15 years of experience in the architectural and construction industry, we hope that you will allow us to participate in you next construction experience

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

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.
