Discover what it's really like to work with a local St. Petersburg FL architect, from design to permitting and everything in between.
If you're planning a custom home, addition, or renovation in the St. Pete area, you might be wondering: what does it actually look like to work with a local architect? Maybe you've never worked with one before. Maybe you’re curious about timelines, costs, or how involved the process is.
As a St. Petersburg FL architect, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dozens of homeowners and developers across the city. From historic neighborhoods like Old Northeast to coastal zones like St Pete Beach. Here's what you can expect when partnering with a local architecture firm.
Every great project begins with understanding your vision. Whether it’s a modern beach home, a bungalow addition, or a multi-family development, we start by listening.
We’ll talk through your goals, budget, and timeline, and share early ideas about what’s possible on your lot or existing home. Because we’re local, we know the permitting process, FEMA flood zones, and architectural styles that fit (or stand out) in your neighborhood.
St. Petersburg has its quirks. Sunlight that shifts dramatically throughout the day, sea breezes, humidity, and, of course, hurricane season.
Designing here isn’t one-size-fits-all. We factor in:
As locals, we’re not guessing. We’ve seen what works and what doesn't in Pinellas County.
Some clients want to be hands-on; others want to be surprised with a final plan. Either way, we’re here to guide you.
From early sketches to permit drawings, we take care of the heavy lifting, but we never leave you in the dark. You’ll see how your vision is being brought to life, step-by-step.
Our process relys heavily on 3D renderings and digital walkthroughs to help you picture the final result before a single nail is driven.
Because we’re based in St. Pete, we’ve built strong relationships with trusted local engineers, contractors, and consultants. That means smoother communication, fewer surprises, and a more efficient path from design to move-in.
If you already have a builder, we’re happy to collaborate. If not, we can recommend a few we trust.
When you work with a St. Petersburg FL architect, you’re not just hiring someone to draw your house. You’re hiring someone to navigate codes, coordinate with the city, avoid costly mistakes, and ultimately, create a home that’s deeply yours.
Our clients often tell us the design process was their favorite part of the project because we made it fun, collaborative, and low-stress.
