United Architects, Inc. has been producing creative solutions for commercial, institutional, and residential architecture projects for over 20 years in the Miami, Florida area.  The principal of the firm, Maria Luisa Castellanos, R.A., has been a South Florida resident for over 30 years.  She holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology. 

This site has been created for you.  You may be a local resident looking for information on building something in Miami.  Or you may be a local developer, builder, or business owner looking to hire a competent Miami architect.  Or you may be a foreign national looking for more information on what Miami is like or what it would be like to build in this area.  We hope to be of service to you by providing more information - information that could help you make a better decision on whether you want to proceed to build in the Miami area.

But with so many architects in this city, why should you use United Architects? 
  • Our design work is so good that we are one of the few firms in town which has been featured on national television on HGTV on the show, Before and After, and not once but twice.
  • We confirm the zoning information and water and sewer/septic tank information very early on in the design process so that there will be no surprises with these issues later costing money to the client as change orders.  On commercial and institutional projects we go to the building department with the preliminary plans and meet with the reviewers so that we don’t have any unsolvable issues at the end of the construction documents phase.
  • As a small firm, we can be flexible in the ways we can work with you
  • We detail our plans very carefully so that the drawings will be easy to understand and the construction process that much easier.
  • Because we use AutoCAD for all our work, we can make changes quickly.
  • We make an appointment with the building department official to look at our permit plans, if the plans come back from the reviewers more than once with the same review comment.  We don’t wait, so that the permit process will flow effortlessly and the permit will be easily obtained.
  • We use the 10 Point Project Management Check List so that major flaws in the drawings are avoided.  Change orders are avoided by using this Check List.

Please look at the pages available throughout the website.  See our school projects, our Head Start facility, or look at the many residential projects we have designed - architectural additions as well as new residential architectural projects.  We have worked with clients from the initial architectural design to construction management.  United Architects, Inc., has done retail/ store architecture, as well as commercial and industrial projects.

"I personally worked with Ms. Castellanos and found her to be dedicated and thorough.  As our representative during the construction phase she reviewed the contractor's requests for change orders and made sure they were fair to us.  I believe that at all times Ms. Castellanos made her best efforts to be of service to us and available to us wherever we needed her help."
