“Mark engineered a solution to some problems I faced because specs were not followed. He listened, has a creative mind and designed some straight forward solutions at a fair price.

R G Architects
Architects in Dover, DE
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2020
“My husband and I live in a home built about 1840. Our kitchen was old and charming with outdated and non-functioning appliances. We decided to look at updating but realized the layout did not work well so we opted to do a new kitchen. After trips to several kitchen planning services we reached out to Neeka Groves with RG Architects. She looked at the rough plan we had drawn up and pointed out a number of shortcomings. As a result of her input we saw several possibilities that were not obvious to us. There were a number of constraints but Neeka led us through the design process with great professionalism and I have to add, patience. Every step of the way she was there to listen, to advise, to point us to products and vendors, and to reassure us with a smile whenever things went south as can happen in 180 year old homes . The end product was a dream come true and I am certain our kitchen would not be what it is without her design, guidance, and oversight. We would offer our highest recommendation to Neeka Groves and RG Architects.”
South & Main Design
Architects in Dover, DE
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 August 2015
“We worked with South and Main extensively during the design and build phase of our house on the Bay. We wanted an energy-efficient house with lots of natural light, natural ventilation, and room for lots of family and friends. Tammy Brice was fantastic. We used structurally-insulated panel design, post and beam construction, and liberal use of stone and wood. The results were great- please see the pictures! The house is also very energy efficient, with two-stage heating (in floor, on-demand radiant heat and propane backup) and a clear story for both light and natural ventilation. The attention to the details of the fixtures and utilities were great. Our goal is to keep this house in our family for generations.”
Tanglewood Conservatories, Inc.
Architects in Dover, DE
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2016
“I had the great pleasure of working with Tanglewood Conservatories on a very beautiful all-metal glass conservatory designed and built to specifically house an indoor swimming pool . Tanglewood played a direct part in the design of this exquisite building which, in fact , appeared in architectural digest when the attached residence was published . My experience with this company was extremely satisfying and I will recommend them to the next client who needs their custom services .”
Home Design Plus, Inc
Architects in Dover, DE
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 October 2016
“I used the Warfels for my house design after experiencing their expertise as they helped my daughter through a renovation project. Always professional, knowlegable about building code, quick turn around for plans and very accommodating with changes. Jordan even came to a meeting with the county planning personnel to help explain the details of my design. This is a good place to start with a new build or reno.”

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 Dover, DE 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 Dover, DE 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 Dover, DE, 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 Dover 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 Dover, DE 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 Delaware 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.
