Hamilton Snowber

At Hamilton Snowber Architects, we believe that homes should be enduring places of beauty, delight, ease, and comfort. We take pride in creating residential projects that respond to the specific needs of our clients, sites, and surrounding contexts. With a deep understanding of the landscape and the community, we design homes that interact with their surroundings in ways that inspire and delight.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of services, from establishing your design program to moving into your newly constructed home. Our team of experienced architects and designers will work closely with you to ensure that your project meets your physical, aesthetic, and financial needs. We employ the architectural language that is most appropriate for your project, whether traditional, transitional, or more contemporary.

Our Team

Our team is led by Cynthia Hamilton and Chris Snowber, two experienced architects with a passion for residential design. Cynthia has a wide range of experience in residential design, architectural education, and historic preservation. Chris has maintained a strong connection to residential architecture since the beginning of his career. Together, they have established Hamilton Snowber Architects as a respected and innovative design firm in the Washington metropolitan area and beyond.

Our Philosophy

At Hamilton Snowber Architects, we believe that a home should be a reflection of its owners and the community it serves. We strive to design homes that are not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally responsible. We seek solutions that limit a project's impact through the use of green products and practices. We use insulation and green materials, and we seek alternative sources of energy, including geothermal, photovoltaic production of electricity, and solar collectors for hot water.

Our Approach

We approach each project with a collaborative mindset, working closely with our clients to understand their needs, desires, and goals. We believe that the design and construction process should be an enjoyable and efficient experience. We provide personal and professional services, from initial design concepts to final construction, ensuring that our clients are satisfied with the outcome.

Our expertise spans a range of residential projects, from new construction to renovation and restoration. We have experience designing homes in various styles, from traditional to contemporary, and we have worked with clients in various regions, including the Washington metropolitan area, New England, the Chesapeake Bay, Coastal Virginia, and the Midwest.
