"Mike is my favorite architect. As a GC it's extremely important that I have a good working relationship with the project architect. Mike understands that the client's interests are the most important factor. Mike often makes decisions in favor of the client even when it means he will make less money from the project. I'm always excited to work with Mike because my projects run smoother with him involved and he often surprises me with his creative solutions to difficult architectural issues. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a trustworthy, creative, detail-oriented architect. Thank you, Mike!"

"I had a wonderful time working with Gabrielle. She is a talented and empathetic designer who listened to what I sought in my office remodel. She was mindful of my budget and offered great advice on repurposing a few essential items I already had. The final product was so lovely I could use my office as a recording space for a work video! Gabrielle made my office into an excellent space that my whole family enjoys. I also worked with her on my house purchase and was able to initially use her expertise to look over home inspections, view houses via video chat and help me make a decision on the feasibility of said homes. Gabrielle's knowledge was imperative in my home buying decision. Furthermore, she was also pivotal in a kitchen remodle that I did in my small cottage home, attached to my main house. She helped us think of a strategy for removing a partial wall and also how to best position, construct and install a kitchen island. Needless to say, Gabrielle is a one stop shop for any building, interior and consulting needs that anyone has while building, buying, renovating or decorating a home. I highly recommend her services!"

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.
The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.
Choose an architect based on their portfolio, experience with similar projects, client reviews, and whether their design approach matches your vision.
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.
