We used Patti Wilder Dallarosa at Wilder Architecture & Planning, P.C. to design our house in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The home is designed in the adobe home fashion, complete with flat roof, vigas, niches, high ceilings and plaster walls, which is a bit different from house types in Colorado.

Despite the long distance challenge Wilder did an excellent job working with Las Campanas HOA Design Board representatives and designing the house to meet the strict requirements of the area. Wilder was in constant contact with the contractor both before and during construction. This was extremely beneficial in completing construction on schedule and without issues from the Design Board.

Wilder was also very helpful with both exterior design palette and interior design choices such as flooring, countertops, cabinets and fixtures.  We highly recommend Wilder Architecture & Planning, P.C. for their quality, professionalism and willingness to go the extra step in making your house your home. — Rodriguez-Finney (Santa Fe, NM)

We worked with Patti Wilder Dallarosa, at Wilder Architecture & Planning, P.C., to design an accessory building to our home that incorporated a greenhouse, two car garage, and a studio. Because we live in a 100 year old home in a historic neighborhood, it was especially important to us that the new building look as if it had been built at the same time as our house, and that it match as many of the historic architectural details as possible.

Patti was simply fabulous to work with on this project. She spent the time we needed to get to know us and to understand our expectations for both character and the functionality of the building. Once she had her first concept drawings, we met to fine tune, and then finalize, the design. Patti delivered on time, and on our budget.

What we also appreciated about working with Patti was that she is well connected with excellent builders and engineers – and we ended up working with people she recommended to build the project she designed. She also was available throughout the construction to consult with the builders when they had questions about the design.

We ended up with a truly beautiful building that complements our house, and fits in perfectly in the neighborhood. Our neighbors also have told us how much they appreciate that it looks like the building has always been here. Plus, the spaces – the green house and studio and, of course, the garage – function perfectly for the job they were designed to do. We have already recommended Patti to friends and colleagues, and we will definitely use her services in the future. — Old Town Clients (Berthoud, CO)

I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have found Patti Wilder Dallarosa to help me with the designing and planning of our addition/remodel. She is easy to work with and has great ideas but does not push anything I am not interested in (a problem I have had with past designer/architects). Patti has gone above and beyond what I expected by helping me find materials as well as subcontractors when my builder fell short. She is always a phone call or email away when I need her help and checks in with me to make sure things are proceeding. — Christine (Erie, CO)

Patti Dallarosa is wonderful.  She always does an excellent job of helping clients get their dreams firmed up and on paper.  Her ability to discern the tastes and wishes of people trying to describe what they are imagining is second to none.” — Brian McMahon, The Magnolia Building Company

I had Patti come over to help me select paint colors for my bathrooms and master bedroom.  She has such a great eye and an artistic touch!  She selected colors that I never would have thought of, and all the rooms came out better than I could have envisioned.  I would highly recommend hiring Patti to help with color selection; she really does make a difference.” — Lori Lloyd, Elements of Health

I enjoy working with Patti, she has designed many homes and remodels for my clients. Besides her great design talent, it takes talent to really listen to customers and incorporate that into the design. That is hard to find in good architects, usually they only draw what “they” think looks good. I am an award winning builder, and have had the great opportunity to work with many good architects, but I chose Patti to design my own home and we love it!” — Chris Regis, Domani Homes LLC

Patti Wilder Dallarosa patiently took our vision, produced tangible plans, and made the addition to our home an innovative reality while considering our budget. She is detail oriented, precise, and timely. She became a part of the family as she worked hand in hand with us, journeying through all of the fine touches from start to finish. We would highly recommend Wilder Architecture & Planning, P.C. to anyone who desires a top notch, user-friendly architect. Patti excels in the three areas of most importance: Ability, Integrity, and Attention to Detail. — Martin & Jill Williams
