Vaughn Scott Design Group
Architects in Calgary, AB
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 May 2014
“We have utilized the services of Vaughn Scott on a previous occasion as well with excellent results. He worked with us to create a beautiful 5000SQFT home that encompassed all of our needs. Vaughn was very easy to work with and provided some expert opinions that we considered very valuable. We recently sought out his expertise again to do a major renovation to a small bungalow. A small addition to the front and creating a very desirable roof line from the typical 1955 sloped roof. He was very attentive to our requests as well as the structural design components such as an en-suite, large front entrance and an open concept main floor. Vaugh accomplished this by utilizing existing walls and flush beams to really open up the smaller space. His pre-inspection of the home was accurate and proved very valuable in the design we were after. His attention to what the clients needs is complemented by his personal experience to produce a very high end product.”

Architects in Calgary, AB
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 December 2015
“Building a custom house can be a daunting, almost overwhelming task for someone not familiar with the business. Kevin was able to walk me through the entire process and answer all my questions. He was very thorough in finding out exactly what I wanted in a house and it reflected in his design. He was able to come up with a design well ahead of schedule that hit all the bulletpoints and had no problems securing the development permits. Kevin is a professional who is very good at his job. Working with Kevin was a smooth experience and I would recommend him to anyone seeking to design a custom home.”

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 Calgary, AB 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 Calgary, AB 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 Calgary, AB, 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 Calgary 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 Calgary, AB 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 Alberta 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.
