Featured Reviews for Architects in Scottsdale, AZ

Klee Design Collaborative
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2021
“I recently had the pleasure of working with John. I had a such wonderful experience I would like to share: After hitting a dead end with how to design a functional and well designed master suite for my new house, John spent an hour with me workshopping plans and sharing incredible ideas! His very first question to me was “how long do you envision yourself living here,” which is something I hadn’t really considered. His insight helped guide me through different ideas for the layout. John presented a wide number of ideas and left it up to me to decide which direction I’d like to take. Had it not been for John, I would have built a suite I regretted. His thinking saved me time and likely money in the long run. I couldn’t recommend John enough! Thank you again and I look forward to working together in the future.”
Designlink Architecture and Interiors
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 August 2015
“We hired Designlink Architecture to renovate our 1980's home. Nothing has been done since it had been built, and though the bones were good, it was dark, chopped up, with very poor room flow. Debra Weisberg, Architect, removed several walls and created new spaces for laundry, kitchen and master bathroom. Debra presented her proposal in such a manner that we knew exactly what our costs were going to be. No hidden costs. At our request, Designlink assisted us with the contractor's bid analysis. She then worked with the selected contractor throughout the entire remodel. We also utilized her interior decorating abilities. We found this internal capability a bonus. She is a good listener and is able to put your thoughts to paper and design. We are very happy with the work Designlink has done and we would highly recommend them. Frank McLanis”

“I consider Fratantoni Design to be a premier architecture firm! What really drew me to them is the fact that they are a full service company. With my hectic schedule, it was such a relief knowing that all my needs could be taken care of under one roof. Fratantoni Design not only did the architecture for my home, they also built and did all the interior design work. You can see and feel how cohesively my home has come together and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!”
Friedman & Shields
Architects in Scottsdale, AZ
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 January 2014
“I needed to downsize, meld styles and add color to our new home. We purchased items that we needed quickly without having an overall plan. I realized that we needed help. Found Friedman & Shields on-line and really liked their work. I have been very pleased with their ability to listen & ask about my preferences and then to offer choices to bring a cohesive design within budget. While the finished product is not yet complete, I know it's going to be stellar.”

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 Scottsdale, AZ 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 Scottsdale, AZ 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 Scottsdale, AZ, 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 Scottsdale 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 Scottsdale, AZ 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 Arizona 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.

  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
