"I got to work with Tim Nugent on designing an addition to my home. He was able to come up with a great design to fit my budget. Very good guy to work with. Highly reccomend!!"
"We met Matt Trenkle at a home show in Madison. We were not looking for a cookie-cutter architect, we needed an eco-oriented designer with experience in alternative materials building. We were drawn to Matt's booth because his display showed that his work was right up our alley. We described our unusual plan and he was eager to take it on. Through a few exchanged emails we further discussed our needs, and he put together a proposal for the work. He is a personable and dynamic architect and worked up a thorough and very clear proposal for us, with a reasonable estimate for the work we were requesting. I am sure he would be very easy to work with and a good communicator, and he gave us confidence that he was ready and capable of doing the work we needed and flexing with us as we worked through the design issues together. As it turns out, we decided to go with a local architect instead (we are based in Madison and Matt is in Milwaukee). His proposal was for design development and construction drawings for a 1000 sq ft passive solar earth bermed house made of earth-covered tire bales with an incorporated greenhouse."
"He did a fantastic job on fixing my leaning retaining wall. Took the time to describe what procedures were gonna be done on the tear down and what to expect on the rebuild of the wall. He also was very diligent on making sure all the stones were properly placed and secure. Definitely worth the money spent and most importantly the money saved in the long run! I will recommend him to others for future projects!"
"They have been very helpful with our situation and have moved it along quickly. They completed the drawings, architectural stamps and the permitting for us as well."
"Roman’s team did a beautiful job with the paver patio and sod installation. It was transformational! He accommodated all our requests, such as adding compost in my garden bed and adding a cement small slab for a pizza oven. Would definitely recommend for any landscaping needs."

"Hired Tyler Moore architect to design a moderately sized detached garage, 26W x 28 L. I sent Tyler my mock-ups and sketches and he took over to design the garage. Tyler verified all of the zoning, building codes, and other requirements so I would not have any issues building the garage. The garage design was perfect, the garage build is underway August 2026. Tyler pulled permit as well. In addition, a bazillion calls were necessary to Tyler during the garage build to help me wade through the minutiae while the guys were building the garage. Tyler checked even more specs for those questions and provided confirmation for my questions. The cost structure is superb by all means. I ave an additional construction project of an R2 property pending in the next year or two. Tyler will be on board for that project. You may hire Tyler in confidence and be assured of a high quality architectural design for any project. Astounding support before, during, and after. Thank you Tyler again!"

Palm Springs homes and similar mid-century modern architecture took off in Northern California, Seattle, and the Midwest. You'll also find many homes that emulate the style in northeastern states, such as throughout Pennsylvania and New York State. That being said, you'll have the best luck finding this style in its original home: Palm Springs and the surrounding area.
The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.
Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.
You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
