Studio Phariss
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 August 2023
“Lori Phariss did a fantastic job on my recent home addition/renovation. She is professional, listened to all my ideas as we moved forward with the project, and kept me up to date every step of the way. l have since passed contact info for Lori Phariss on to many of my friends looking to also renovate or add to their homes. One friend has already hired Lori to design a Casita (in-law quarters) being added to their current property. Highly recommend Lori Phariss if you are looking for a great person to work with … you can anticipate excellent end results!”

“Steve Hendrix and i have worked together for many years. He takes a very rough drawing I jot down for him and makes it a professional to scale plan that I can turn in to any HOA. Steve always gets my work done in a very timely manner and at a affordable price. I would recommend Nevada Home design and do so to anyone looking to add on or in need of design work done.”

Frame Architecture, Inc
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 January 2022
“Frame Architecture was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our whole-house residential remodel! We worked with Jeff for our architectural components and Hannah for the interior design, with an absolutely fantastic result!! They are professional, creative, responsive, and fun to work with. Hannah topped the list of amazing people to work with that made our remodel an excellent adventure. She was able to identify our style, needs, and budget, and efficiently and effectively pull everything together and provide us with a cohesive plan that is right for us, and feels both modern and timeless. In addition to being insightful and creative, Hannah is calm, professional, and reassuring to work with, and this is especially important during the stress of a full remodel!”

HMA Architecture Inc.
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 May 2019
“Thanks to Justin. After our house burned down in the wild fires, Justin helped us move along ( as we still only had a vague idea of what we wanted but we knew we wanted to move back quick) and designed a house that fits our property and fits our living style with extra suites for when our sun & daughter visit. Can’t wait to have it finished so we can move in!”
MT Peterson Designs
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2013
“Mike Peterson was our Architect on an addition to our home. His design was innovative and totally different from other Architect's visions resulting in a finished product that blended with the original design of our home so much so that it looked like part of the original construction. He was able to come in under our budget, which other Architects said they could not do. Mike also assisted us by providing the most professional, skilled group of sub-contractors - all true craftsmen. Mike provided guidance and direction throughout the entire project finishing under budget and beating our deadlines. His easy-going attitude was refreshing and his honesty and professionalism was greatly appreciated. We are extremely pleased with the results we achieved with Mike Peterson and he is our first and only "go-to" guy for all of our future home projects. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting a talented, truly honest professional!”
Concept Architecture, LLC
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 January 2015
“Highest recommendation! We absolutely love the new custom home that Martin, with Concept Architecture, designed for us. Martin took our ideas and some very site specific requirements and created a home that is so much more than we expected. Martin is friendly, professional and REALLY listens. The very first draft sketches proved that he understood what we wanted and needed. He worked with the county to meet all of the special requirements for building on a slope near water.”

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 Reno, NV 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 Reno, NV 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 Reno, NV, 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 Reno 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 Reno, NV 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 Nevada 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.

  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?

  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (The architect's personal style could interfere with your vision.)
