Your Las Vegas area home architect should be qualified with a degree from a reputed architectural school and accreditation in his trade. Make sure your home architect has a portfolio to show for his work. His portfolio should ideally include having designed the style of home you're looking for. If you have a Spanish Mediterranean style in mind, your luxury home architect should have a few Spanish style haciendas in his portfolio. It's very important that you visit at least one of these homes, so you can see what the finished product of his plan looks like. Check for the rear and side elevation too -- some architects will only enhance the front elevation. Look for the little touches in the interiors that set a house apart. Look for the use of natural ventilation systems.
An architect for a luxury home project should have a professional work set up. A single person office will not be able to give you the kind of attention you will require after the plan has been delivered. The home architect's job doesn't stop with the delivery of the plan. He needs to have a support help line set up where you can get the advice you need as the construction commences. Structural design and architectural elements will have to be confirmed with precision, and therefore, you need an architect with enough manpower to support customers.
