"Working with Matthew was an absolute pleasure. He took our ideas about what we saw in our head and was able to implant them onto paper with his design. Matt listened to us on every single detail and aspect that we were looking for but also strategically placed certain things with his artistic and architectural skills and knowledge. It started out with getting a feel for the contours of the land and feeling out where the house " wanted to be" and not necessarily what was the most inexpensive place to put the house. We went through multiple basic drawings together to get a feel for what we wanted. Matt was not afraid to remind us how we would "FEEL" about a certain space if we removed or added something due to cost. His concept of emotive space is inspiring and ultimately led to our beautiful home. Quite specifically we wanted a REAL fireplace and chimney with full stone and mortar and rumford style fireplace. And we wanted it in the middle of the house. Matt described it as the heart of the home and we were able to construct the house around the stone mass. When you walk in the front door you get this feeling of warmth and comfort just gazing at the massive chimney. I think Matt's services are well worth the design fee's that are extremely reasonable and especially when you create the house from scratch. We went from a stout colonial to a warm 2 story cottage. Matt was also with us every step of the way for the bidding process and basically general contracting the project. I am not sure if he is still offering these services but we were able to do all of the legwork for bidding, permits, scheduling, basically of the general contracting needs ourselves. Matt simply provided his licensing and field reports for the Inspections. We were able to save A LOT of money this way and could afford to build our dream home. In short if you want to have a hand's on building experience with an Architect that wants to help you build emotive spaces and not just another house on the block reach out to Matt."

"Roberto and his team did a great job on our project. They were professional, hard working, and friendly. The quote Roberto provided for two retaining walls was very competitive and he provided it quickly. They began work within a few days of accepting the quote and completed it promptly. We would use him again and already recommended him to neighbors who have come by to check out the new walls. Great job!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

Regular meetings, reviewing drafts, and providing input on materials help align the project with your vision.
