“He's an excellent architect with a love of innovative materials and beautiful space. As a builder I appreciated his respect for budgets and ability to navigate the city's permitting process. We have worked together on a few projects now and hopefully many more in years to come.”

Cornerstone Drafting and Design
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 October 2021
“I am very pleased with the design and building prints developed by Cornerstone . I sketched my thoughts on a paper and Darryl was able to translate it into floor plans for our new home which is a post and beam frame with bailed straw forming the outer walls. Darryl was able to accommodate my unusual requests for a straw bail build and the forty five degree pitch on the roof to support solar panels . If I were to build again I would not hesitate to use his services again.”
Reuter Architecture
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 May 2021
“I am a Commercial contractor and have worked with Reuter Architecture on multiple projects. They are resourceful, and always looking out for their client’s interests.

Memar Architects Inc.
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2013
“We were looking for a company that could provide superior design and building permit drawings quickly, accurately and competitively. We requested quotes from many companies, but Memar was the only company that matched all three of our criteria (Reasonable rates, quick turn around, professional knowledge). All in all we were very, very happy with the product and the service. Our permits were acquired without problems and they helped us along the way during interior design and constrcution. Thanks!”
Goulding Design
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 April 2016
“Jon Goulding produces exceptional designs and has overseen projects for myself and my clients. He created a charming front garden for my century home in Yorkville, creatively camouflaging a gas meter and air conditioner as raised planters. Conversely, Jon has designed and overseen extensive renovations for my clients, including an 8ft deep basement excavation which added a significant gain in equity of their home. Jon is my first call for matters of design and for permit advice for my clients.”
Robyn Huether Architect Inc.
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 June 2016
“Robyn was fantastic as architect and project manager. I was very happy with all aspects of the project and work that Robyn did. I highly recommend her.”
Christopher Wallace Architect
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 December 2015
“Chris has been a saviour. I have a 1930's house with a 1980's addition that didn't work at all. He walked around the house and sat down with me to find out what I wanted to use the addition for. He drew up 2 plans for me addressing my concerns and then went back to fine tune them so that I could have exactly what I need. He made wonderful suggestions and pointed out several things that I had not thought of at all. Hiring Chris was a brilliant start to my renovation and I'm confident that as I move ahead, the small cost in this first step will ensure that the large cost of the renovation will be a solid investment in my house.”
Lakeside Architecture Inc.
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2017
“We retained James to help with the total renovation of our tired and low quality loft unit. Without hesitation, he attended the loft space, discussed our ideas as well as provided some initial feedback. He went back several times to measure up and also explore the space, where the light was best, the best placement of the bedroom and how we would most enjoy and use the living room. He developed a floor plan, sought board approval and helped us hire our first contractor. He also helped us pick out all the interior finishes. The result is a light filled open modern space with room to grow. Thank you James!”
ASQUITH Architecture
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2023
“Working with Heather was a pleasure. She was attentive to our needs and developed strategies that made the design, construction and process easier. Our contractor said he had never worked with a better set of drawings! As a designer myself, I always find that there are things I wish I had done differently as soon as a project in my own space is complete. However, this was not the case after working with Heather. We are so happy with the end result. We were fortunate that our work was done pre-pandemic. Having the extra space was essential.”

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 Oshawa, ON 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 Oshawa, ON 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 Oshawa, ON, 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 Oshawa 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 Oshawa, ON 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 Ontario 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.
