Tomlinson Designs
Architects in Fort Collins, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2014
“Sean Tomlinson architected our kitchen and dining room remodel. Our goals were to expand, modernize, and improve the functionality of the existing space for our growing family. Our original house had a shape that didn't lend itself to what we envisioned, so we reached out to Sean. He designed a spacious, stunning space that is a pleasure to live and work in. Sean was wonderful to to work with and took a great deal of time with us upfront to understand how we use our living space. It was a major remodel, and he was able to tie it beautifully back to the rest of the existing house.”

HMH Architecture + Interiors
Architects in Fort Collins, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 April 2013
“HMHAI developed an initial design concept for our home along South Boulder Creek which capitalizes on the mountain views across open space in a way which will both enhance our quality of life and the value of our home investment. They have worked seamlessly with our general contractor and the team of engineers required to meet the stringent Boulder building code, which we passed "without comment" on the first submission of our plans. In addition to designing a beautiful home, they've assisted us in selecting well-respected and efficient structural engineers, energy consultants, and all of theother professionals needed to build a new home. The design team has guided us toward sound and aesthetically appealing finish choices inside and out. We'll finish our home mid-summer and are thoroughly enjoying the building process (a pleasant surprise). Our highest recommendation to Harvey Hine and his team at HMHAI.”
Arcadea Architecture
Architects in Fort Collins, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 August 2014
“David Biek from Arcadea has worked on two projects for us. The first project was restoring a beautiful multi million dollar 4 story grey stone in Chicago. The building was a classic old building in disrepair. David's design work brought the building infastructure into the 21st. century yet he maintained the old world charm. Thanks to the remodel, the building is renting for top dollar. The second project David did for us was some remodleing at our home in Boulder. After the 2013 floods, we had some serious repairs to make on our bottom floor. David redesigned the worst, ugliest bathroom in our home and made it wonderful.The bottom floor has never looked better. You can trust David. He's careful, fair priced, thoughtful, imaginative, and always has good follow through.”

Fänas Architecture
Architects in Fort Collins, CO
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2014
“I am a builder that has bid and built several Fa'nas projects and can recommend them without hesitation. As a builder, I can tell you that a good set of plans is the most important key to a successful project. The detail and clarity of plans ensures that the bids can be compared 'apples-to-apples', communicates what should be included in the bid, and ultimately defines the scope of work in the contract. Dale and Elizabeth's plans have been consistently excellent, allowing me to bid with confidence and build efficiently. Others can talk about their vision, style, or the aesthetics of their design, (this is also inspired in my opinion), but as a builder the most important thing is the accuracy and clarity. The money you spend on Fa'nas plans will be saved by lack of change orders and lack of mistakes.”

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 Fort Collins, CO 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 Fort Collins, CO 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 Fort Collins, CO, 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins, CO 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 Colorado 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.
