“Jon and Marty did a fabulous job with our remodel. They listened well to our needs and ideas, came up with some innovative approaches and gave us the great result we were hoping for.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 June 2016
“Working with Adam on the remodel of our house was a very satisfying experience. Adam has a strong sense of design and he carefully listens to understand the clients’ perspective. He was able to balance design and functional considerations within our budget and achieve an overall aesthetic that compliments the entire house. Adam was available for questions and very supportive throughout the project. We would definitely choose to work with him again. Arthur and Loretta Traum”
KC Karen Cullen Design For Living
Architects in Carmel, CA

“Karen was the driving force behind the award winning Joseph Eichler renovation in Palo Alto several years ago. She was amazing to work with and highly knowledgeable. We couldn't have done it without her!”
des Plantes and Associates
Architects in Carmel, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 December 2013
“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 June 2016
“Robin is talented, realistic, practical, easy to work with, resourceful, and accessible. We have worked with Robin on many remodeling projects, and we wouldn't think of taking on a project without Robin on our team.”
Theresa Buccola Stained Glass & Design
Architects in Carmel, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 February 2015
“My wife and I wandered into Theresa's shop during a 20th anniversary "returneymoon" to Carmel. We were instantly charmed by her art and by her. Theresa's shop is filled with life, and she tells a great story about each piece. We bought one of her lovely glass pieces, and it hangs prominently in our house in New Orleans. It's beautiful by itself, but also reminds us of a terrifc afternoon in Carmel.”
Tom Meaney Architect, AIA
Architects in Carmel, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2013
“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”
Eric Miller Architects, Inc.
Architects in Carmel, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 April 2015
“I have worked with Eric Miller Architects for several years and consider him one of the preeminent architects in the Central California Coast region. His firm's work is forward looking, at times daring and innovative, yet always well grounded in the regional vernacular. Miller Architects is the complete package, from superb architectural design, to top shelf interiors and surprisingly original landscape design. Being an architectural photographer, it is always helpful when an architect provides lots of "eye candy" and Miller's creations do just that. The Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur are some of the most beautiful places in North America. And Miller's buildings add to that beauty by working in harmony with the dramatic seascapes and rugged hills of the California Coastline.”
Thayer Hopkins Architects
Architects in Carmel, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 June 2021
“Thayer never ceases to impress our firm with his incredible skills and capabilities. He is always professional, timely, and exceeds our expectations with each completed project. We have had an ongoing relationship with Thayer Hopkins and his firm for quite a few years, and we will continue to utilize his craft and expertise on many projects in the future.”

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 Carmel, CA 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 Carmel, CA 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 Carmel, CA, 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 93921 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 Carmel, CA 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 California 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.
