RAW Design & Consulting

Austin, TX Architects

30July,2013

“My husband and I hired Renee at RAW Design & Consulting for purposes of planning and designing a partial renovation of our 1950's home in Miami, Florida. We were relocating our kitchen and adding a bathroom to our 3/2, along with some other superficial changes. Although we ultimately chose to scale back the project significantly, we worked with Renee through the completion of the design stage and were just about ready to send the final plans to the city for their review and approval. The final plans were fantastic and included structural, mechanical, electrical and other design elements. As first time homeowners (and renovators), we really appreciated Renee's insight and constructive feedback with respect to what would and would not work for our home. Renee's attention to detail and responsiveness to our emails and other inquiries made it an absolute pleasure to work with her. She was very professional and courteous throughout the project, and made the process very simple and stress-free. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone interested in a fresh take on their home's potential.”

Danze & Davis Architects, Inc.

Austin, TX Architects

7February,2014

“I can't tell you how much I love our Lake Travis home Donovan Davis drew/designed for us. I am certainly not the easiest to please and I am absolutely thrilled with the end results. Donovan was able to capture the lake views from every room and achieved it with amazing style and design. Not only do we have a view from every room but we can see the stars and the moon from several rooms which is truly amazing and one of my favorite features! Donovan was fun to work with, he listened to all of our wants and made my dreams a reality. He surpassed all of my expectations and his passion for Architectures shows when you look at my home. We have had numerous people stop to say how much they like the design of our home so don't hesitate to use this firm they are true professionals that love what they do! Thank you Donovan and Harrison Davis!”

Texas Timber Frames

Austin, TX Architects

8June,2015

“I had my own ideas about how I wanted to cover my patio which laid in a U shape between three walls. This was not an easy problem since three roofs sloped onto the patio. Geoff, the Project Manager, came up with a revised plan from mine which worked great. We are very pleased with the Cover this has made for our patio. Geoff worked with his crew and was there to put the finishing touches on the project.”

McKinney York Architects

Austin, TX Architects

1December,2012

“I have worked with Heather McKinney on the following projects: Canyon House , Austin, Texas 1984, a residence on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia 2003 twice on a Ranch House in Stephenville, Texas 2008 and earlier, referred her firm McKinney York to a client in San Antonio, Texas and worked on this new residence in Shavano Park 2006. This year I was referred by this firm to an Austin client to arrange furniture and bring in an picture hanging consultant.I was most impressed with the spaces, materials, and lighting in this remodel. McKinney York Artachitects pays great attention to detail, and has the highest level of expertise in green and sustainable design. The principals and staff are even tempered and good natured. I refer McKinney York to clients because the designs will be innovative, the overall cost will be within the client's budget, and because they work extremely well with the contractors and the consultants. The design awards bestowed upon this firm reflect a union of client's program, budget, taste, consultants and extremely talented architects.”

Dearth Design & Construction

Austin, TX Architects

30December,2014

“We had a wonderful home building experience and were so thankful that we used Todd. We only interviewed one other builder, but there was something about Todd and what he said that made us decide to choose him. We were 1st time builders and didn't even check his references or know the right questions to ask before we decided on him. It wasn't until the building process when we saw our home coming together that we started to fully appreciate all the aesthetic skill Todd had to offer. We would ask how this or that would be, and he would sometimes use the phrase "let's see what the house calls for when we get to that point". We began to realize how special and unique that flexibility and sensitivity in a builder really was. Our home is stunning and if we ever decide to build again, we wouldn't consider using anyone else. Linda and Bob Elliott”

““The team was professional, skilled and talented. The principals were also available to us whenever we needed them, which meant a lot to us. They were very upfront about the cost and the budget and really helped guide us through our choices. Any concerns or questions that we had were promptly answered. The Tipler Team was excellent to work with!”

Austin, TX Architects

6August,2014

“Ben Arbib and Ed Hughey are wonderful to work with and bring experience, talent and fantastic design to any project. We recently remodeled a 1950s home that needed a complete overhaul. Ben and Ed brought their design skills as well as creativity to the project. They followed our project through and helped us make sure that what we had designed together was actually being done. They are good listners and are able to incorporate the client's interests/ideas into the project.”

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 Austin, TX 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 Austin, TX, 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 Austin 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 Austin, TX 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 Texas 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.
