“To say that Leslie is absolutely amazing would be an understatement. He is the most professional, competent, fair and knowledgeable architect that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He goes above and beyond what most are willing to do with a smile. He is a complete joy to work with and I could not recommend him more.”
John Barie Design, LLC
Architects in University, FL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 July 2019
“We used John to conceive, design and manage a total gut rehab of a garage apartment in St. Petersburg. His expertise and talents go far beyond just drawing up plans. He really made this space functional, inviting and a fun place to spend time for our friends and family, as well as enhancing its income generating potential as a rental unit. I have done several remodeling and addition projects on our residences over the years, but none went more smoothly and produced results I am as happy with as the project on which John worked. His personality is warm, friendly and easy to work with. He is a great listener and was able to translate our wants, needs and desires into reality. I could not more highly recommend any architect / designer if you are in need of the services he provides. I would never consider working with anyone else.”

Winter Park Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 June 2015
“Gary Hancock, AIA has designed the last two homes I've lived in. He is talented, very experienced and a pleasure to work with. He is a very skilled architect, extremely professional and has a sophisticated sense of upper-end residential style and design. Gary always delivers his work product on the dates agreed and his fees are always what he quotes. If there is any extra work he identifies that before undertaking the revision. There are no negative surprises with Gary...just pleasant ones as he translates your thoughts and wishes into a remarkable 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 University, FL 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 University, FL 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 University, FL, 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 University 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 University, FL 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 Florida 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.
