Featured Reviews for Architects in Oshawa, ON

Van Ziffle Architects
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 March 2017
“He's an excellent architect with a love of innovative materials and beautiful space. As a builder I appreciated his respect for budgets and ability to navigate the city's permitting process. We have worked together on a few projects now and hopefully many more in years to come.”
Jason Fung Architect Inc.
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2017
“Jason is a great architect, he helped us a lot to assess our property and gave us useful advice to improve our home floors and basement. Jason Fung was very helpful with creative ideas that adjusted well to our budget.”
Goulding Design
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 April 2016
“Jon Goulding produces exceptional designs and has overseen projects for myself and my clients. He created a charming front garden for my century home in Yorkville, creatively camouflaging a gas meter and air conditioner as raised planters. Conversely, Jon has designed and overseen extensive renovations for my clients, including an 8ft deep basement excavation which added a significant gain in equity of their home. Jon is my first call for matters of design and for permit advice for my clients.”
Sensus Design Studio
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 July 2015
“Working with Sensus Design and Build was exciting. John-Luke and Jesse have a great ability to visualize their designs during construction. We love the final product and we would recommend them any day!”
Sandra F. Smith ARCHITECTS
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 January 2017
“Sandi was great to work with! She guided us through a complete rethink of the way we used our space. From our closed 1950’s bungalow Sandi gave us a beautiful open design. Perfect for our next phase of life (empty nesters!) She completely understood we didn’t necessarily want more space but a better use of the space we had. We highly recommend her.”
6ixDesign Architecture + Engineering Inc
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2018
“I highly recommend 6ix Design Inc, for all your architecture and engineering needs. Sam was very helpful through the process from drawings to getting permits. He mentioned and explained every mistake made by trades that I wouldn't of know. I highly recommend!”
David Johnston Architect Ltd
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 February 2020
“We have worked with DJA on several projects. David has a casual, approachable but thorough personality and his staff are extremely detailed. Years of experience brings efficiency to their work.”
Patricia Halpin Interiors Inc
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 December 2013
“I have worked with Patricia Halpin Interiors for many years on various projects in my home. The last one being the entire main floor including kitchen (which ended up winning a NKBA award) and powder room. I keep going back to Patricia because she understands right off what I am trying to accomplish, which saves a lot of time. She always has a great rapport with the trades and does a great job overseeing the entire project. For example when we got the kitchen quote she went over it to make sure it was correct in price, quality and timing. The end result exceeded our expectations and now before we do anything even my husband asks "did you run it by Patti"?”
Memar Architects Inc.
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2013
“We were looking for a company that could provide superior design and building permit drawings quickly, accurately and competitively. We requested quotes from many companies, but Memar was the only company that matched all three of our criteria (Reasonable rates, quick turn around, professional knowledge). All in all we were very, very happy with the product and the service. Our permits were acquired without problems and they helped us along the way during interior design and constrcution. Thanks!”
ASQUITH Architecture
Architects in Oshawa, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2023
“Working with Heather was a pleasure. She was attentive to our needs and developed strategies that made the design, construction and process easier. Our contractor said he had never worked with a better set of drawings! As a designer myself, I always find that there are things I wish I had done differently as soon as a project in my own space is complete. However, this was not the case after working with Heather. We are so happy with the end result. We were fortunate that our work was done pre-pandemic. Having the extra space was essential.”

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 Oshawa, ON 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 Oshawa, ON 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 Oshawa, ON, 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 Oshawa 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 Oshawa, ON 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 Ontario 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.
