AM Architecture
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 February 2013
“AM made a sight visit with us for the potential building we plan to do of our dream home on a premium lot. He fit us into his schedule, was prompt and professional, and had excellent ideas and showed us how he would implement them.”
Green Team Design, Inc.
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 September 2015
“Mark was extremely responsive and proactive in regards to our remodeling plan. He took the time to really listen to our needs and support the enhancements we wanted to make to our house while juggling the limitations of our budget with architectural requirements. His design beautifully represented both me and my husbands preferences (which were on both sides of the spectrum). He was very polished and professional throughout the process. We highly recommend him to anyone that wants to work with a very good professional home designer that will continually work with you and respond quickly to questions/comments,”
Devlin Architecture
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 September 2015
“Devlin Architecture designed an addition for our home when our family was young. 18 years later, we are still delighted with the results and regularly receive compliments from visitors. Doug has a great eye, and some of his recommendations, such as higher ceilings and an upstairs deck and pergola outside the master bedroom, remain much appreciated. We also benefited from having Doug oversee a contractor who was not always paying close attention to detail. Highly recommend!”

Gaskill Architecture

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2014
“Gaskill Architecture designed a beautiful modern home that was tailored to fit my unique building site. Robert's ability to analyze the land and create a design that blends with nature is amazing. The design process was very engaging and the tools he uses were invaluable during the design process. I would highly recommend Gaskill Architecture for their professionalism, attention to detail and understanding of what the client is looking for throughout the design process. Thanks again Bob!”

SCF Architecture, LLC
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 December 2017
“We worked with Samantha to design and reconfigure our master suite. From start to finish, Sam was super pleasant to work with, and went above and beyond to insure that we were happy with our project. Sam was a great listener and communicator and incorporated all of our wishes into her design, while introducing us to new innovative ideas. She helped with the selection of all materials, worked seamlessly with our contractor and designer, and gave great attention to detail. Our end result is an amazing master bedroom and bath suite which we are enjoying immensely. I highly recommend Sam and would use her again in the future without hesitation.”

“Peter is one of the best small architects in Pittsburgh. J. Francis Company has built a number of his designs, and relishes each opportunity. He and his staff have a streamlined delivery process with cutting edge design.”
Phillips & Donovan Architects, LLC
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“We contracted with a designer for an addition, approx. 460 SF. The process was smooth with helpful tips and hints, and the designer incorporated our feedback.The specs were reasonable and not excessively expensive, and met our needs. To this day it is the most used room in the house.”
Cipriani Studios
Architects in Allegheny County, PA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2015
“I've worked with Justin and Cipriani Studios in the past at a previous firm. We worked side by side with Justin to help develop his projects. He has a very keen eye for the crisp lines and modern details that make his projects really pop. I've always thought of myself as one of the more pragmatic architects, while Justin is much more the dreamer and visionary, and it shows in his beautiful and original designs. He's one of the few architects or designers I know who is putting out really high end modern design in the Pittsburgh region, and it's a truly refreshing experience compared to so many of the cookie cutter suburban developments that continually take place. Justin is willing to take a risk on good design and urban infill projects, and it's paying off!”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Allegheny County architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Allegheny County can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Allegheny County during initial consultations.
