Finding an Architect

Zenterman | Posted in General Questions on

I’m looking for an architect to design a “pretty good” simple 2-3 BR house of about 1100 SF in Orange County NY. There are some site challenges but nothing major. How should I go about finding someone aligned with GBA objectives?

    .. for starters. Probably forgetting a few people I should have mentioned.

    Thanks Martin. These folks are several hours away, in different states. Should that matter?

    Zenterman,
    Some architects only work with clients who live nearby. Others are willing to work with clients who live far away. The best way to determine whether one of these architects might be willing to work with you is to contact them directly. Of course, you might want to visit their web sites first, to see if their work aligns with your design philosophy.
