Nicholas Sonder Architect
Architects in Reno, NV
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2013
“I am a contractor who has worked with Nick Sonder and find his plans to have more than the detail needed to build the project. The 3D renderings that he does bring the project to life for the client and give them a clear picture of what is being designed. Nick is extremely creative and is always bringing new ideas to life through his drawings. Nick Sonder is a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about all facets of the construction Industry.”

“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.”

Studio Phariss

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!”

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.”

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 Reno architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    • After choosing either option, you can reach out to the architects you want to discuss your project. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right architect for you.
    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 Reno 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 Reno during initial consultations.
