"Kian Architecture and Brian have been an absolute godsend! We were in desperate need of an architect for a project most would find daunting, but it was proven to be no match for Brian. He was quick to respond from the beginning and extremely communicative all throughout this process. Even the building inspector complemented Brian's promptness in getting this project rolling. Our team has never been through something like this before and Brian made sure to take the time to explain the codes, processes, timelines, etc. which will make things so much easier when we need their services again. That's right, Kian will be our go to for any architectural needs. Can't recommend them enough!"

"It went very well.  He was very detail oriented and there were no hidden costs.  The bathroom turned out even better than we imagined.  We were on vacation when he worked on the bathroom and when we came home our bathroom was nicer than the resort we were staying at!  He had a lot of great ideas and was willing to work with us on what we wanted.  The subcontractors that came in were great as well."

"The team did an amazing job! They were able to squeeze us into their schedule very quickly! They showed up on time everyday, they worked very quickly and efficiently to get the job done! They went above and beyond to make everything look amazing! We have a very old house and a lot of things are uneven. Josh and Jess did an outstanding job of making the room look brand new! We couldn’t be happier with the work they did on the walls and ceiling! They were very diligent in cleaning up each day after their work was done! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I can’t wait to continue our home remodel with these guys! We will definitely have them back to help make our dreams a reality! Josh’s attention to detail is outstanding!"

"It went well overall! My brother got the remodeled bathroom that he wanted to have. Brandon was diligent in repairing all items that needed to be done before installing the ceramic tiles around the shower and the bathroom flooring. These repairs are only items that you can know once you start demolishing. Brandon did more I think than what he signed up for in doing the necessary repairs. He is good in what he does! Thanks, Brandon and crew!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

Arched windows used to be most prevalent in more traditional home styles, like Spanish colonial and Gothic, but they are becoming increasingly popular in modern design. You’ll often find arched windows in new home builds across many styles, including farmhouse and contemporary architecture. This represents a more general trend toward more unique houses with interesting features.
