"We loved working with Dwight! We have had the opportunity to work with him on both residential (our home) and commercial projects and couldn't be happier with the results. At home, he helped us to make our dream a reality. His designs were creative and well thought-out and his consultations before and during the construction were VERY helpful. We hope to work with him again soon!"

"My wife and I worked with Jon on an extensive renovation/remodel, and addition. A large, complicated project to say the least. Jon stuck with us through many, many, revisions... The entire time being patient and professional. Jon's expertise and knowledge in structure and engineering helped save the day when we had a large issue during construction. While I was completely panicking, Jon came to the house, calmed and reassured us, and presented real time fixes and solutions. I thank you Jon, for answering every text, phone call, and email (We have not been easy on him). I highly recommend this expert architect and wouldn't hesitate in using him in the future. Thank you so much Schultz Architecture. Sincerely, Joel and Melissa Hurst"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Palm Springs homes and similar mid-century modern architecture took off in Northern California, Seattle, and the Midwest. You'll also find many homes that emulate the style in northeastern states, such as throughout Pennsylvania and New York State. That being said, you'll have the best luck finding this style in its original home: Palm Springs and the surrounding area.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

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.

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.

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.
