Featured Reviews for Architects in Los Alamos, CA

Tom Meaney Architect, AIA
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2013
“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”
STUDIO PRIME ARCHITECTURE (SP-ARC)
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 May 2018
“Currently engaged with Studio Prime in support of a design/build project here in the city of San Luis Obispo. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and professional group to work with, but importantly, they also have a sense of humor (especially John). They are helping my wife and I design (and eventually build) a 3,000 sf custom home on an, um, "interesting" hilly site that is presenting some challenges. However, these guys know their stuff, and are deftly navigating us around those challenges. Strongly recommend these guys!”

Gannage Design
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 January 2018
“We hired Gannage Design for our Morro Bay house remodel and would hire them again in a second. From the very first meeting you know you are in good hands, they take the them time to listen and to really understand the project. From concept to design to construction, this is by far the BEST team around!”

Santa Barbara Home Design
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2015
“I’ve been working with Jeff for over three years now and he has helped me create the most amazing property I could have ever imagined. I have been working in construction over the last 24 years and have never met someone with such creativity, knowledge and professionalism. At every stage of the project Jeff exceeded my expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Jeff is very talented at troubleshooting problems and always came up with great solutions. His attention to detail plus a dose of humor made it a very enjoyable experience. Also Jeff is a very talented artist and has created the most beautiful detailed renderings I have ever seen. It is literally like looking at a picture of the final product. Truly amazing and was such a valuable tool in our decision making. I have and will continue to recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a professional home designer.”
Dennis Thompson Architect
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 June 2012
“Dennis Thompson worked closely with us to design a new home on our land, after our house was destroyed by a wildfire. He was sensitive and cognizant of the emotional factors going into the design process, given our circumstances. Dennis took us through the entire process, from design concept through City approval, from choosing a contractor through managing on-site building issues. Ultimately, we ended up with a beautiful, energy efficient home.”
Danciart Architecture
Architects in Los Alamos, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 October 2012
“Peter is a local architect and affiliated with the AIA Central Coast Chapter (currently on the board of directors). He has a great taste in design and has many great projects under his belt. I was fortunate enough to receive a personal tour of his Salmon Residence project recently. After seeing what he had done with this project, my appreciation for residential architecture truly heightened. This home is definitely one of my top favorite buildings in San Luis Obispo. The details on this building are incredible, and the interior spaces are unique and ravishing. Besides his designs however, Peter is a really down to earth person and very easy to talk to. He is nice, charming, and very well knowledgeable in his trade. Working with him is always wonderful, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.”

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 93440 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 93440 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%.
