3 Best Residential Architects in Alexandria, VA

We had Michael Wheeler design a renovation to our house and couldn’t be happier with his work and the finished results. He incorporated everything we hoped to include and did so creating a beautiful cohesive final product. His attention to detail is incredible — even down to specifying the precise finishes, molding and fixtures and explaining his reasons behind those design decisions. His plans were approved with no revisions and everything passed inspections. We couldn’t be happier with that renovation — the space is a joy for our family and very comfortable for our guests. I recommend him without hesitation. When you hire Michael you are hiring a professional who will look after your interests.

Wheeler & Associates Architects. The professional approach Michael Wheeler uses in every project and his attention to detail are extraordinary. Early in the design phase he utilizes a detailed survey that clearly defines customer preferences, expectations and ultimate goals. Every aspect in each phase receives maximum scrutiny ensuring project success and customer satisfaction. Not limited to major project design and execution, he extends quality achievement in even the smallest requests. We recently engaged Wheeler Architects for assistance in determining optimum space capability within mandated easement requirements. The result was an over the top detailed report that enabled the best decision to meet our goals and needs. Without hesitation, I highly recommend industry leader Wheeler Architects for any project requiring the skills, knowledge and abilities of a reputable architect.

When we decided to renovate our home, we didn't know where to start. Looking at architects in our area, we eventually met Michael Wheeler and knew he'd be a good fit for us. Michael was patient and took the time to thoroughly explain the design process and answer our many questions. We felt we were in good hands with his experience and expertise. Michael was creative; we had a long list of things we wanted to add or change to our home and through the iterative design process he was able to create a design that was innovative and striking and addressed neatly every item on our wish list. At times, there was a push and pull between his and our ideas, but it was never contentious. Instead, our collaboration resulted in design that met our needs and we loved. Michael is also quite thoughtful. By that I mean besides being pleasant to work with, we could tell he was always *thinking* of ways to improve upon his design to meet our needs. Going over the latest design revisions, we were often surprised and delighted to see he was able to address our requests or something we had discussed earlier, with an idea we'd never have thought of. In our experience working with him, Michael is not interested to simply and quickly get to the first acceptable design solution, he strives to develop the best solution, with the fewest compromises. If you're looking for a patient, creative, and thoughtful architect, I encourage you to consider Michael Wheeler for your project. We're glad we did.

I recently visited two newly opened restaurants in old town Alexandria, and was very impressed with the interior design and overall the warm and contemporary decor in both places.
