Featured Reviews for Architects in Forest Hill, ON

Ph.D. Design Inc.
Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars13 June 2014
“We wanted a modern house that was spectacular, but also comfortable to live in. We were working with a 27' wide urban lot, which already had a 1926 vintage home on it-not really a blank slate. Through a collaborative process with architect Peter Marzinsky and his designer, Meredith Ellacott, we believe we have achieved our goals. Peter and Meredith were respectful of our taste, needs and budget, and brought all of their creative energy to the project. Our friends and neighbours say 'wow', 'spectacular', 'amazing' and we enjoy living in this work of art every day.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2018
“I highly recommend 6ix Design Inc, for all your architecture and engineering needs. Sam was very helpful through the process from drawings to getting permits. He mentioned and explained every mistake made by trades that I wouldn't of know. I highly recommend!”

Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 April 2014
“Affecting Spaces did wonders with my main floor renovation. Gillian's attention to detail and professionalism ensured I had a great experience. From concept drawings and plans to renovations and furniture selection, Gillian's quality of work is top notch. I would recommend Affecting spaces to anyone!”
BLDG Workshop Inc.
Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2013
“We can highly recommend BLDG Workshop with complete confidence. In contrast to the many bumps along the way of our renovation and addition, the design process was exciting and enjoyable. Nathan and his team of professionals were timely and efficient, good at communication, and willing to work with the trades we had hired; however, their best attribute is of course their smart, inspired design! Our favourite part of working with BLDG was the collaborating... they are the experts but they listened to our ideas and were excellent at incorporating our whims and wishes. We will definitely be contacting BLDG the next time we build!”
New Age Design
Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 May 2013
“We hired Richard Kossak from New Age Design to create a large family home for us. The project consisted of an existing historical home surrounded by additions on three sides. The design challenge Richard faced was to give us the new space we required and still preserve the existing historical home. His inspiration and experience truly shows in the finished project, we are extremely happy. We can highly recommend New Age Design to anyone who is looking for a professional design experience. Fred Seymour & Carolyn Campbell”
Lindy Architect
Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 September 2013
“We engaged Lindy Consulting to provide some plans to renovate the 3rd floor of our house which was an unused portion of our house which contained two bedrooms and which we were using as additional storage space. Our plan was to move our master bedroom to this space and add a full washroom. We met with Steven and Annette to discuss our ideas and how we envisaged the space and our estimated budget. They came back to us the following week with some preliminary sketches that impressed us. We then gave them the mandate to prepare full drawings and once approved by us, they managed the project from completing the drawings, getting them approved, and seeing the project through to completion. We were quite hands-on in the decision making but they truly took ownership of the project and had our best interests in mind throughout. Although we ended up spending more than we budgeted (which was as a result of our decision to upgrade bathroom appliances, flooring etc.), we are really pleased with the final result.”
Hausworks Design Inc.

Dewson Architects
Architects in Forest Hill, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 June 2013
“I hired William Dewson Architects to design a summer cottage in Georgian Bay on a 5 acre island. Our first challenge was to figure out the site plan and where to put the cottage given numerous zoning restrictions and other natural fators. Bill and his team were great to work with throughout the whole process of defining the best site and then brainstorming the design that best suited our family asthetic. Bill's charismatic enthusiasm made our meetings fun and creative, we were all very happy with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the design experience from start to finish.”

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 Forest Hill, ON 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 Forest Hill, ON 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 Forest Hill, ON, 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 Forest Hill 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 Forest Hill, ON 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 Ontario 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.

  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
