Reviewed October 2026 · Edited by Daniela Pedroza · How we review firms
Hiring an architect or a designer means trusting a stranger with your house for a year or more. We built these lists to give you a head start: ten firms per list, each with a profile of its principals, projects and sources. We start in Palm Beach and Miami, where the work runs from Mizner villas to glass towers on the bay.

04 - how we review firms
We review every firm on twelve factors in three groups. Recognition covers awards, press, credentials and reviews. Portfolio & Craft covers documented and local projects, years in practice, range and affiliations. Digital Presence covers website quality, SEO and visibility in AI search. Claims we couldn’t trace are left out. Editors set the order.
- We check award issuers, press archives and licensing boards.
- We count the projects each firm documents, and the ones in the city.
- We test each website, its Google results and a fixed set of AI search questions.
- Firms can send corrections through the methodology page.
