Richard Chenoweth Architect
Services
I offer architectural design, project management, construction administration, drafting, and watercolor illustration to homeowners, institutions, and fellow architects. I can take a project from first sketch to finished building, or join your team for the part you need.
Architectural Design
Houses, additions, renovations, and small institutional buildings, including historic preservation work. I design with a typological approach, fluent in both historical and modern languages, and for the right project I can work as a design-builder.
- Programming, site analysis, and feasibility studies
- Schematic design and design development
- Renovations, additions, and new houses
- Historic preservation and restoration
- Custom millwork and details
Project Management
I oversee details, fabrication, and construction very carefully, so you always know the state of your project.
- Scope, schedule, and budget
- Coordinating structural, mechanical, and civil consultants
- Zoning, permitting, and review board and historic commission approvals
- Regular reporting to the client
Construction Administration
Representing the owner from bidding through closeout, so what gets built is what was designed.
- Bidding, contractor selection, and negotiation
- Site visits and field reports
- Shop drawings, submittals, and requests for information (RFIs)
- Change orders and contractor payment applications
- Punch lists and project closeout
Drafting and 3D Modeling
Drawings and models in Revit and form·Z, for my own projects or as support for other firms.
- Construction documents and permit sets in Revit
- Existing conditions and measured drawings
- 3D models and renderings in form·Z
- Digital reconstructions of historic buildings
Architectural History Research
Watercolor Illustration
Presentation watercolors that have helped architects win competitions and present to clients, boards, and review commissions. I was chief illustrator for Cottage Living Magazine and illustrated the Lowe's Katrina Cottages.
- Exterior and interior presentation watercolors
- Competition and review board renderings
- Illustrations for magazines and books

I work throughout the Mid-Atlantic corridor: from Richmond, Virginia, through Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia, to Princeton and New Jersey.
