"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!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.
