"Architects Builder Group was incredibly helpful, walking me through the typical process I had for the conversion of a two-unit home to a third-unit home. Alaa was quickly responsive and provided professional and very detailed answers to my questions. Alaa is very knowledgeable about city code, zoning, and legal requirements. Very professional and passionate in his trade! I recommend ABG for any consulting and Architectural needs!"

"Working with CASNA Design was the best of experiences. My husband and I had never worked with an architect before. Mario was patient, answered all of our questions, and was extremely knowledgeable. He kept our mind at ease throughout the entire process and had true excitement around making our project a success. We will definitely use CASNA Design services again!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Fantastic - Kevin and his team are responsible for most of the landscaping of our home. They are dependable, thorough and excellent in quality. I recommend Kevin to all of my friends who are looking for quality landscaping work, which is very hard to come by. Kevin completed two projects for us this year that have been a major lift to our property and we get compliments on all the time. Cannot recommend Kevin and his team enough."

"Dan is quick, efficient, and easy to work with. He took my cobbled together floor plan and turned it into a drawing that my builder could use. I'll definitely use him again if I ever need additional plans."

"What can I say that 5 stars can't? I had been looking for a landscaper for a home that I purchased with a badly neglected front lawn (I use the word "lawn" very loosely, as by this point it was a collection of weeds with a blade of grass here and there). I wanted to remove the grass and put a mix of flowers, edible plants, and black mulch. I interviewed about 5 landscapers all who seemed very capable. I chose Jeff because he was personable and obviously very passionate about what he does.. Jeff and Dave were super easy to work with. I had a few plants that I liked and they were able to tell me what would work best and why. They paired the plants on my list with other plants that really made everything pop visually when placed together. In the end, they designed a beautiful space that I couldn't have imagined myself. All while keeping to my requirements of having a low-maintenance and drought resistant yard. They installed sod in my barren yard-new build. Looks amazing. All the grass caught and we have a lush carpet yard. I now have a beautiful space that has flowers and plenty of edible additions. I sometimes catch myself staring out the window just admiring the landscaping. My neighbors all love it as well. I definitely recommend Jeff and team"

"Jose did a great job with our project. He was quick to respond to my request, coming out on the same day to provide a quote. We have a fairly large yard (+1 acre) and work spanned multiple days. Work was performed as communicated and hedge trimmings were bagged without disturbing our mulch and hauled off after he was complete. Will be using his services again and recommend."

Architects questions, answered by experts

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.
