Houghland Architecture, Inc.
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 January 2013
“We highly recommend Houghland Architecture. We used Gray for a two-story addition to our house. Gray's attention to detail is most impressive. He is creative, talented, practical and very easy to work with. Our new rooms blend seamlessly with the old. We would definitely use him again.”
Pippin Home Designs, Inc
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 January 2013
“Jenny Pippin of Pippin Home Designs can design anything. ...from huge homes to small ones. She listens to her clients, designs liveable homes and takes advantage of any and all views. She is highly capable, artistic and yet reasonable. She designed our home about 20 years ago and I wouldn't change a thing. It's on a sloping lot with only a small section that is flat for the house's footprint. It was a winner from plan to inception. I still love and live in every square foot.”
HELT
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 August 2014
“After purchasing lake front property in Charlotte NC, we entered into an exhaustive search to find the right architect to design our dream home. We knew what we wanted in a custom home and Tim Johnston of CL Helt Architect Inc. was able to create a design that incorporated our needs on balance with our budget. He worked with us through every phase of concept and design providing all of the renderings and models needed to fully conceptualize the scope of the project. Tim Johnston brought a strong modern esthetic that we had been seeking and an understanding of the complexities of building on waterfront property. Tim incorporated passive solar design tailored to meet the specific requirements of our exposure and latitude. Tim came up with creative solutions to accommodate the challenges of our lot and the limitations of our budget. He positioned the house to protect access to our boat ramp and take full advantage of the lake views, while designing a basement home that minimized costs and always kept in mind the practical requirements of custom home building. We have enjoyed our working relationship with Tim Johnston and the entire CL Helt Architect Inc. team. Our new home incorporates every detail that we had hoped to achieve. We would not hesitate to use their services again in the future and plan to recommend them to friends and family.”
GREENTHINC, PLLC
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2021
“We had a terrific experience with Greenthinc. Jim listened to us, looked at our notes and sketches as well as our space, and really heard what we needed and wanted. We got several options that gave us choices, to make our addition the way we wanted it while fitting perfectly with our home. Jim remained available to us and our builder for questions and advice throughout project construction. He provided invaluable guidance on sustainable materials for a healthy, safe, and affordable addition. We had a true ally in Greenthinc, getting answers to questions we didn't even know we had, and translating our vision into exactly what we intended for our mom. Jim's ideas really elevated our addition, his professionalism is impeccable, and we recommend Greenthinc without reservation.”
Stephen Davis Home Designs, LLC
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 September 2015
“Stephen adapted a stock plan for our house, which we called the Fieldstream. The in-office process was focused and creative, while the follow up and plan completion was perhaps a bit less timely. Nevertheless, the result in terms of functionality, flow, and great touches like the desk nook was great.”
Ashley J. Design
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 August 2015
“Ashely was a great recommendation to us by our contractor. We've enjoyed getting to know her and love working with her. She's professional, knowledgeable, listens well, and is patient. She has done background work and offered suggestions when needed. We also feel her prices for her service are very reasonable. We look forward to continuing working with her on our next project.”
The Alter Architect's Studio, PLLC
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2016
“Alter Architect's designs were thought provoking, inspirational and truly represented every thing we were looking for in a house we could call our home. Zack is super professional, congenial and very attentive both during the design process and the actual construction process. We've been thrilled with them in every aspect and couldn't more highly reommend them.”
LaBella Associates, PC
Architects in Matthews, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2013
“Roger and his team worked closely with my husband and me to create the home of our dreams. I had a vision for many years and they listened carefuly, made realistic and valuable suggestions, and drew my dream better than I could have dreamed it. The design for our lake waterfront lot was a happy blend of my desire for sleek, modern with the HOAs idea of contemporary. We fit in nicely with the neighborhood, but have sleek linear shapes and smooth textures. We were building on a very difficult lake front lot with extremely steep terrain and natural gulleys that held standing water. Roger and his team worked with engineers to make sure we lived "on the water, not in the water", creating a design that allowed the graders to push the natural running water around the house and down the hill rather than into the house. This gave us the wonderful opportunity to have access bridges rather than sidewalks - a unique and very eye pleasing addition. Throughout the design they kept true to my vision while helping us add the features necessary to age in place. It is a beautiful design and we will live here forever. Roger Layman Architecture made the experience enjoyable and low stress. We would recommend this team to anyone who wants to build heir dream home.”

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 Matthews, NC 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 Matthews, NC 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 Matthews, NC, 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 Matthews 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 Matthews, NC 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 North Carolina 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.
