“Cally's designs for our new build were spot-on! She helped us create a cozy modern style farmhouse. Her knowledge of design, both past and present, were very impressive and helped us to stay consistent throughout our home.”
Viridian Architectural Design, Inc
Architects in Dunkirk, IN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 June 2015
“Viridian Architectural Design, Inc was hired to design a single family residence in a rural location where an existing home was to be demolished. The house was to be built as 'green' as possible within our budget. Working with Viridian was a pleasure. Terry Thornsbury designed the house incorporating our ideas, found local sources, provided insight and oversight during construction, helped with issues that inevitably arose, met with various vendors and contractors and subcontractors to get the project finished within our timeframe. We were happy to work with Viridian and would recommend the business to others seeking to build an energy efficient home or commercial building.”
Dancer Concrete Design
Architects in Dunkirk, IN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2013
“Nick manufactured a concrete bathroom countertop and half wall coap with a three inch face that turned out beautifully and accented our vessel sink wonderfully. He then took 5/16 backer board and did a concrete overlay that match the countertop flawlessly for a soaker tub surround as well as two caps for the ends of the soaker tub/ fawcet mounts. Nick does excellent work and look forward to doing business with him again in the future.”

“Len was the designer of our first home in a golf community in 1997. After looking through lots and lots of Southern Living magazines for my perfect cape cod, Len was able to take our dreams and my request for a "big front porch"and designed a beautiful spacious home for us. That home was almost 5000 square feet, with five bedrooms, each with large walk-in closets, 4 1/2 baths, (and my front porch was 37' long and 9' deep-with white pillars!)and it was a great home to raise our three children. Now that we are empty nesters, we downsized to a 2600 sq. ft. home. Built in 1996 and sitting on 4.6 partially wooded acres,it is a beautiful property, but the home needed a lot of updating and walls moved around to make it feel more open and ready to entertain or just relax as a couple. Len and Lifespace Design once again came through with a plan for making this house a warm, inviting and peaceful home where we plan to stay for a long time! Our remodeled home is not quite done-we replaced the roof, all of the windows and siding, added cross heads to the windows, and made a pantry and a laundry room out of the old dining room. We also removed walls and enlarged the kitchen and family room and added a 15'x17' screened porch with a log burning fireplace, an in-ground pool, and are now remodeling the upstairs as we build a 30'x60' storage barn. Len helped us arrange the old master bedroom into a private and beautiful suite which will be for my mom when she decides to come live with us. We are creating an upstairs master suite according to the plans Len gave us. He always makes us feel comfortable adding our own touches or making changes we want to fit our needs. We were so pleased with the great value of his service for the price! I doubt we will build or remodel anytime again soon, but this is a beautiful home that we are so proud to show our friends and family thanks to Len and his expertise at making our house the perfect home. I would definitely recommend Len and Lifespace Design to any of my friends and family, whether they were doing a extensive remodel or even just some updating.”

“Matt worked with my wife and I on our house design. He listened to our thoughts and dreams and did a wonderful job of putting those onto paper! He captured all the right details and advised us. He was kind and patient and was a delight to work with.”
Hammer Heads, LLC
Architects in Dunkirk, IN
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars10 December 2013
“John took a set of house drawings we purchased over the internet from another architecture company and made several revisions to the entire plan. Our first meeting involved discussing the intended scope of work, which we came to realize once the process started, we had grossly underestimated what we wanted to change from the original plans. John was fair in price and was very helpful. He was a pleasure to work with.”

“An excellent resource for custom-made cabinetry, furniture and antique restorations. The organization and its principals combine creativity with expert craftsmanship, timely project delivery and ethical pricing.

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 Dunkirk, IN 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 Dunkirk, IN 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 Dunkirk, IN, 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 Dunkirk 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 Dunkirk, IN 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 Indiana 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.
