"We recently had the pleasure of designing our retirement home with Tom of Bezaleel Designs. Through the entire process Tom was friendly, highly professional, collaborative, and so fun to work with! He carefully listened to our vision and dreams for the home and heard everything we said. He offered suggestions and recommendations along the way and ultimately designed exactly what we were looking for. We truly have a beautiful and impressive home design. We have just begun the construction process and more than once have reached back out to Tom for minor tweaks to the plan. Each and every time he promptly and happily responds. We couldn?t be more happy with the entire experience of working with Tom from Bezaleel Designs. We would recommend him every time. He more than exceeded our expectations!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

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.

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

Greek Revival architecture was popularized in America in the early- to mid-1800s, around the time when archaeologists were discovering buried ancient Greek buildings. As a means of celebrating the democratic government in ancient Greece, American architects borrowed from those newly discovered buildings as a way to emphasize that America would remain a democratic country in the wake of the American Revolution.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
