Gaskill Architecture
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2014
“Gaskill Architecture designed a beautiful modern home that was tailored to fit my unique building site. Robert's ability to analyze the land and create a design that blends with nature is amazing. The design process was very engaging and the tools he uses were invaluable during the design process. I would highly recommend Gaskill Architecture for their professionalism, attention to detail and understanding of what the client is looking for throughout the design process. Thanks again Bob!”
Wildman Chalmers Design, LLC
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 October 2014
“We had Heather Wildman design and implement a large addition/renovation to our house that included a larger kitchen and a series of outdoor rooms that included a porch/set of fireplaces/terrace. Heather is a wonderful architect and listens to her clients so that she can create solutions to how your space should work for you. She has a way of articulating how we wanted to live and brought that to the design process. Our space is beautiful, modern yet warm and inviting, and has changed the way we live and use our home. She is very collaborative and thoughtful and listens to what you need while making suggestions as to solutions you may not have considered. She also managed our construction team and was meticulous about details in the construction that we would have never thought of such as reinforcing the floors for an exceptionally large island we were bringing in. She is well connected to expert craftsman when custom work is needed (thank you Chuck for our beautiful windows). I recommend Heather highly and believe that Wildman Chalmers is the premier architectural firm in Pittsburgh.”
SCF Architecture, LLC
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 December 2017
“We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”
Brind'Amour Design
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2015
“Matt is great to work with! He came into the disaster zone that was my first complete property overhaul. His vision paralleled mine and he was able to give advice on design ideas I had not previously considered. For example, I knew I wanted to open up my kitchen to flow into the dining room but Matt had a brilliant idea to that allowed me to do this while also creating more counter space AND a pantry in my tiny kitchen while still feeling very open. With Matt, we also created a whole new bathroom and expanded existing bedrooms by removing one half side of a cape cod roof and replacing it with a dormer that ran the length of the house. It added over 400sq/ft of living space to the house. He was very responsive to any concerns I had and provided me with all the information I needed about my reconstruction design. Matt was available when I needed him and met all timelines. I am more than please with the results and will definitely use Matt on future projects!”
Devlin Architecture
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 September 2015
“Devlin Architecture designed an addition for our home when our family was young. 18 years later, we are still delighted with the results and regularly receive compliments from visitors. Doug has a great eye, and some of his recommendations, such as higher ceilings and an upstairs deck and pergola outside the master bedroom, remain much appreciated. We also benefited from having Doug oversee a contractor who was not always paying close attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
Cipriani Studios
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2015
“I've worked with Justin and Cipriani Studios in the past at a previous firm. We worked side by side with Justin to help develop his projects. He has a very keen eye for the crisp lines and modern details that make his projects really pop. I've always thought of myself as one of the more pragmatic architects, while Justin is much more the dreamer and visionary, and it shows in his beautiful and original designs. He's one of the few architects or designers I know who is putting out really high end modern design in the Pittsburgh region, and it's a truly refreshing experience compared to so many of the cookie cutter suburban developments that continually take place. Justin is willing to take a risk on good design and urban infill projects, and it's paying off!”
Phillips & Donovan Architects, LLC
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“We contracted with a designer for an addition, approx. 460 SF. The process was smooth with helpful tips and hints, and the designer incorporated our feedback.The specs were reasonable and not excessively expensive, and met our needs. To this day it is the most used room in the house.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Allegheny County, PA also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Allegheny County, PA who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Allegheny County, PA, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Allegheny County locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Allegheny County, PA architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Pennsylvania subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
