Vincent den Hartog, Architect
Architects in Cambridge, NS
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 July 2014
“I found the web site for Vincent den Hartog on line, and liked the photos he had posted. I had purchased land on the Bay of Fundy shore and needed to start over with a new build, after a demolition. It was a request to design a Cape Cod style house (3 bedrooms) with shingles to look old., and make the most of the water views. Vincent found a reputable builder to interpret my wishes. I am very pleased with the results.”
Beacon Hill Design
Architects in Cambridge, NS
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 November 2015
“We are a Canadian company that designs and manufactures cast stone architectural details. In our twenty years at the forefront of our industry, we have had the privilege of working with many builders, designers, and architect. Working with Beacon Hill on a recent project in Halifax, NS, was a true pleasure! David and Stephen are attentive, pleasant, and stay on top of their project, ultimately taking the best care of their clients as they possibly can. This particular project required some customization to our standard product. David and Stephen were very clear and professional in their communication, and provided prompt and accurate site information and design requests, for a smooth and fast custom design process. We highly recommend Beacon Hill for your design needs, and genuinely look forward to the opportunity to work with them again!”

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 Cambridge, NS 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 Cambridge, NS 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 Cambridge, NS, 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge, NS 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 Nova Scotia 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.
