Featured Reviews for Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO

Elemental Homes
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 January 2018
“The home that Elemental Homes created for us has been the best home that I have ever lived in. It's sculptural form is not only striking, it is also great for living and entertaining. We use every corner of it. It has been featured on home tours and in architectural magazines. They are great to work with, being approachable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.”
TKP Architects
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2013
“The architects at TKP have great vision and practical ideas. I had spent months working with another architect to design an addition to our 55-year-old home but nothing clicked. Then Karen Keating looked all through our home, sat down and in a matter of minutes roughly sketched out a plan which included a dining nook, den, office, bath and storage room. I knew we'd found the firm with which we wanted to work. Everyone that we worked with at TKP was respectful of our ideas, and then made them even better. We love our three-year-old, 1000 square foot "new" space. It flows beautifully with the original house.”
Root Architecture and Development, LLC
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 September 2016
“Root Architecture and Development's amazing designs are what enticed me to working with Zeke on my newest residential development project. Before we got started, I hired Zeke to do a feasibility study on my lot to help me conceptualize what I could actually build there. After meeting Zeke on site, I was told I'd have the results of the study within a week and true to their word, I did! We went over the plans in person with great detail and I was quite impressed with my whole experience, from start to finish, in working with Root Architecture and Development. Even though I ended up selecting a different architect due to prior relationships and projects, I look forward to working with Zeke in the near future!”
Lauren Shadid Architecture + Interiors
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 June 2014
“Lauren Shadid designed the remodel of my home to expand the kitchen and open up the family room, and make use of our space more efficiently. She was very thorough and diligent in her work and was very conscious in keeping within our budget. She works very well with contractors and is always available when she is needed. She was always very response to my questions and concerns. Her background in interior design is a huge bonus as she was very helpful in helping me choose colors and tile. Lauren also helped design my backyard space. We live on sloped lot and she was able to design a pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, and lounge area, whereras before we had a basketball court above the main patio area that was never used. We don't have a finished yard yet, but I can see the transformation and how much more we will enjoy our new space.”
C P Architectural Design, LLC
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 March 2018
“Chip came up with some beautiful designs that made the best use of a difficult space. He is a real pro. Chip listens to the clients desires then "stretches the dream" to a place that others might not have thought of. He knows the local codes and zoning parameters and makes everything work smoothly with local building jurisdictions.”
Hive Architecture By Becky Alexis
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2014
“From start to finish this was an amazing experience. Becky listened to all of our input and took all of our wants and needs into consideration. The project came in under budget and ahead of schedule and the crew doing the work were fabulous. We will be using them again on next major project! Our house was built in 1910 and they did a great job of incorporating the character and charm into the project! Couldn't be happier!”
Vesta Design Studio, LLC
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 December 2014
“Vesta designed and supervised the building of our house. The design meets our needs and more. It is innovative, incorporating a number of features that make the house not only beautiful but functional as well. Sally is easy to work with. She comes up with great ideas and solutions while never forgetting the clients needs and wants. She supervised and assisted the contractor and the result was a cooperation that, for us, resulted in a beautiful and very comfortable home. Pictures of our house are available on Vesta's website.”
Doug Walter Architect
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 April 2014
“My husband and I hired Doug Walter to design a fairly extensive indoor/outdoor remodel, encompassing about 80% or more of the house. Doug is extremely talented and visionary, knowledgeable and highly respectful and astute about spending money wisely. He meshed well with our desire for quality and style that will stand the test of time. He is also easy to work with and a delightful person. I recently referred him and am very excited to see what he does for our friends' big remodel.”
Hart STUDIO LLC
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 July 2013
“We hired the Hart Studio when we needed an architect to help us with our expansion/remodel plans. While we had a basic idea of what we wanted, Tom Hart really brought the project to life. He listened to what we wanted, asked questions regarding how we wanted to use the space and made sure it would fit in with the existing structure of the house. Tom was extremely easy to work with, creative in his ideas, responsive to our questions, always met deadlines and really guided us through the entire project. Tom did an exceptional job of tying in the old part of the house with the new part so it looked seamless, which was very important to us. It was a big project and could easily have been overwhelming but with Tom's help it was very manageable. We were thrilled with how the project turned out and would highly recommend the Hart Studio. If we ever do another project like this, we would hire Tom Hart and the Hart Studio again, without hesitation.”
Forward Architecture, LLC.
Architects in Highlands Ranch, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2020
“I pretty much knew want I wanted to do with my project. I warned Ellen I knew enough about architecture to be dangerous. Ellen recognized my requirements and was instrumental in identifying other considerations needed for the project. Included was a need for a code variance (setback). I was informed by the city, before starting the project, a code allowance(variance) was not required. Ellen’s code research was right. A code allowance was required. With her help, the review board approved the code allowance request unanimously. Our project involves bumping the attached garage eight feet to allow for a utility room between the garage and house. The design includes moving the washer and dryer out of the basement. As simple as the project sounds, there is a lot involved. Ellen listened to my wife’s concerns and ideas on the project. Together we achieved a very efficient design. We are now in the permit and construction phase of the project. I am looking forward to Ellen’s input. Ellen deserves your serious consideration.”

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 Highlands Ranch, CO 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 Highlands Ranch, CO 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 Highlands Ranch, CO, 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 Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch, CO 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 Colorado 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.
