Klee Design Collaborative
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2021
“I recently had the pleasure of working with John. I had a such wonderful experience I would like to share: After hitting a dead end with how to design a functional and well designed master suite for my new house, John spent an hour with me workshopping plans and sharing incredible ideas! His very first question to me was “how long do you envision yourself living here,” which is something I hadn’t really considered. His insight helped guide me through different ideas for the layout. John presented a wide number of ideas and left it up to me to decide which direction I’d like to take. Had it not been for John, I would have built a suite I regretted. His thinking saved me time and likely money in the long run. I couldn’t recommend John enough! Thank you again and I look forward to working together in the future.”

“Creative, responsive, cost conscious, The Ranch Mine was a great find for us. With them we were able to create our dream house, we completly remodeled a 50's ranch into a modern, livable space. When people walk in to our home for the the first time, they say wow!”
Friedman & Shields
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2014
“I needed to downsize, meld styles and add color to our new home. We purchased items that we needed quickly without having an overall plan. I realized that we needed help. Found Friedman & Shields on-line and really liked their work. I have been very pleased with their ability to listen & ask about my preferences and then to offer choices to bring a cohesive design within budget. While the finished product is not yet complete, I know it's going to be stellar.”
Urban Design Associates
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2013
“I have worked with Urban Design Associates of Scottsdale, AZ as a builder for the past 15 years, and am intimately familiar with their design craft and work product. They are, without question, one of the very best residential architectural firms serving the Southwest in existence today. From extracting the necessary client information in the very beginning, to the conceptual design drawings which capture the client's intentions for their dream home, to the construction documents which are the best and most detailed in the industry...UDA is first class in every respect. In my opinion, to consider UDA for any high end, custom home project would be a wise choice.”
James Hann Design, AIA
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 March 2015
“We initially met Jim Hann through a referral while interviewing architects to assist us in designing our "dream house" in Arizona. After careful consideration, we selected Jim because of his talent for designing beautiful homes, many which have won awards, and his warm and friendly personality. Working with Jim has been a delight. He brings a "can do" attitude to resolving design issues and always has an open mind to our ideas and concerns. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were satisfied with the design so that it would work for us, our lifestyle and our family.”
Realm Architecture + Design
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 October 2016
“This is our second remodel with REALM. We have used them to upsize as well as down size our homes. With both remodels, REALM was responsible for the architectural design as well as the interior furnishings. Before we started our project, we sat down with Jacques and Jackson and discussed our needs, our wants and how we live in the house. They listened to our ideas and then made suggestions. They have tremendous vision and creativity and were very sensitive to our timeframe and budget constraints. They were flexible enough to design in the field and still meet deadlines. Jacques and Jackson incorporated our old furnishings with new items and helped us achieve an intimate, sophisticated home that reflects our lifestyle and personality. We love our home inside and out!”

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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale during initial consultations.
