Featured Reviews for Architects in Cleveland, NC

Pippin Home Designs, Inc
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 January 2013
“Jenny Pippin of Pippin Home Designs can design anything. ...from huge homes to small ones. She listens to her clients, designs liveable homes and takes advantage of any and all views. She is highly capable, artistic and yet reasonable. She designed our home about 20 years ago and I wouldn't change a thing. It's on a sloping lot with only a small section that is flat for the house's footprint. It was a winner from plan to inception. I still love and live in every square foot.”
GREENTHINC, PLLC
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2021
“We had a terrific experience with Greenthinc. Jim listened to us, looked at our notes and sketches as well as our space, and really heard what we needed and wanted. We got several options that gave us choices, to make our addition the way we wanted it while fitting perfectly with our home. Jim remained available to us and our builder for questions and advice throughout project construction. He provided invaluable guidance on sustainable materials for a healthy, safe, and affordable addition. We had a true ally in Greenthinc, getting answers to questions we didn't even know we had, and translating our vision into exactly what we intended for our mom. Jim's ideas really elevated our addition, his professionalism is impeccable, and we recommend Greenthinc without reservation.”

“We highly recommend Houghland Architecture. We used Gray for a two-story addition to our house. Gray's attention to detail is most impressive. He is creative, talented, practical and very easy to work with. Our new rooms blend seamlessly with the old. We would definitely use him again.”

McFarland Design Group
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 February 2016
“We choose Rob McFarland to design our custom home plans after discussing with him what our needs were in an architect. He have already designed our first phase of plans. He has been timely in his work and responses. My husband spent 8 hours with him during the first meeting. Rob, took my husband around to inspect his work which made picking him as our architect brainless.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 May 2016
“Craig did an amazing job designing and overseeing the complete renovation of my home. Not only did he have innovative ideas he also oversaw the execution of those ideas with the contractor. He is an excellent communicator and I would use him again in the future if the opportunity should arise!”
HELT
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 August 2014
“After purchasing lake front property in Charlotte NC, we entered into an exhaustive search to find the right architect to design our dream home. We knew what we wanted in a custom home and Tim Johnston of CL Helt Architect Inc. was able to create a design that incorporated our needs on balance with our budget. He worked with us through every phase of concept and design providing all of the renderings and models needed to fully conceptualize the scope of the project. Tim Johnston brought a strong modern esthetic that we had been seeking and an understanding of the complexities of building on waterfront property. Tim incorporated passive solar design tailored to meet the specific requirements of our exposure and latitude. Tim came up with creative solutions to accommodate the challenges of our lot and the limitations of our budget. He positioned the house to protect access to our boat ramp and take full advantage of the lake views, while designing a basement home that minimized costs and always kept in mind the practical requirements of custom home building. We have enjoyed our working relationship with Tim Johnston and the entire CL Helt Architect Inc. team. Our new home incorporates every detail that we had hoped to achieve. We would not hesitate to use their services again in the future and plan to recommend them to friends and family.”
LaBella Associates, PC
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2013
“Roger and his team worked closely with my husband and me to create the home of our dreams. I had a vision for many years and they listened carefuly, made realistic and valuable suggestions, and drew my dream better than I could have dreamed it. The design for our lake waterfront lot was a happy blend of my desire for sleek, modern with the HOAs idea of contemporary. We fit in nicely with the neighborhood, but have sleek linear shapes and smooth textures. We were building on a very difficult lake front lot with extremely steep terrain and natural gulleys that held standing water. Roger and his team worked with engineers to make sure we lived "on the water, not in the water", creating a design that allowed the graders to push the natural running water around the house and down the hill rather than into the house. This gave us the wonderful opportunity to have access bridges rather than sidewalks - a unique and very eye pleasing addition. Throughout the design they kept true to my vision while helping us add the features necessary to age in place. It is a beautiful design and we will live here forever. Roger Layman Architecture made the experience enjoyable and low stress. We would recommend this team to anyone who wants to build heir dream home.”
Crowe Design & Associates
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 March 2015
“Todd Crowe is a an artist. When we started to plan a screened-in, covered porch, patio and outdoor kitchen, we thought that we knew exactly what we wanted. When he drew what I described, we weren't thrilled. He was able to offer suggestions when we weren't sure and ideas that we had never even considered. I am so thankful for his expertise! He saved us money and created a masterpiece better than we had even hoped for.”
Nicole Perri Architecture
Architects in Cleveland, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2021
“Nicole Perri was exactly what we needed for our renovation project. She listened to our ideas and created a plan that included all of our details. Nicole’s insight was so helpful as we had to make decisions along the way. Because of Nicole’s patience, creativity, knowledge, and thoughtfulness we ended up with the patio and porch of our dreams. We would definitely use Nicole for any future architectural needs.”

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 Cleveland, NC 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 Cleveland, NC 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 Cleveland, NC, 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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland, NC 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 North Carolina 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.
