Knight Architect LLC

If you are considering hiring an architect to design a new home we would like to help. Rather than being a sideline as it is in most architecture offices, the design of new houses and the renovation of older ones has been our principal business for about 40 years. We can organize the process for you, starting with advice about which piece of land to buy, where to put your house on a property. In designing your building we merge our design skills with knowledge that only you can have about what kind of a home will work for you. This results in a house that is a reflection of you, but will make sense in its environment and will retain its value. We always model the building in 3D and show you how it will really look with animated walk-throughs and renderings as well as the more traditional 2D drawings. Recently, Lucia and I decided to stop running an office that would provide the entire process from design through construction observation. Now, our office has returned to our house and for the services after the original design and design development we will send you to other providers—in most cases the project architects that worked for us for years. Because our overhead is now lower, we have actually been able to lower our billing rate with this smaller office.
