Responsible Design

SPIRE Architecture champions the idea of providing authentic living spaces designed to be both functional and affordable. The practice at SPIRE is to provide comprehensive services, offering quality design to clients, along with connections to interior designers, landscape architects, and top-notch construction services for a complete design team. SPIRE was born 3 years ago through the joining of two previous firms, Craig Martin's "Martin Architecture Guild", and Kurt Shepard's "KCS Architects". Together, Craig and Kurt are able to combine the years of design experience, in-the-field construction time, and experience in navigating the sometimes difficult permitting process in Annapolis, Anne Arundel County, and throughout Maryland. The SPIRE team strives in all ways for excellence... in design, service to the client, service to the community, and delivery of a wonderful experience as well as a successful project. 'Ut Prosim'... that I may Serve

Project: Hire an Architect to Design a Project - For Business
Very good team to work with. They take every detail into consideration and were able to handle everything. Great designs, plans, service, and attention. Surpassed my expectations, and I will use them again for future projects.

Top notch start to finish. They not only did exactly what we asked, but listened carefully to us in order to help us determine what, in fact, we did need. Basement looks great!

Craig worked on the kitchen, front hall, staircase, and bathroom remodel. Fabulous attention to detail. Good use of existing design elements in our house. Reviewed the project with both my husband and myself on a regular basis to be sure that we were on tract and in line with our wishes. When a design detail didn't seem right we stopped and talked before proceeding. Good use of funds.
Response by Spire Architecture, Inc.: Thanks a TON Linda! We had a great time working with you, and are happy that the project has added such great spaces for you!

Craig and Kurt were able to design an addition to our home that we can't wait to see completed! They worked diligently and professionally to stay within our budget, communicating every step of the way, and facilitated the selection and hiring of our contractor who they work with extremely well. They listened to all of our needs and wants, came up with suggestions of their own, and together we quickly had a completed design. I highly recommend this firm and you won't find nicer people to work with.
Response by Spire Architecture, Inc.: Thanks again Theressa! We can't wait to get into the construction phase! See you on site soon...

Working with Craig Martin and the team at Spire has been a fantastic experience! Craig immediately got our vision and made it real. We would highly recommend them.

Review by in Annapolis, MD
We hired Spire Architecture to design an artist studio space in Annapolis. From beginning to end the project was a wonderful experience. Complete and total collaborative services. The studio space when completed is everything an artist could desire with plenty of light, storage space, outlets and work space. The builders Spire hired were completely professional, cooperative, timely, and a pleasure to work with. I can not recommend Spire too highly. John O
Response by Spire Architecture, Inc.: We had a great time with the collaboration, the site conditions, and the whole process. It's great to have clients that are so easy to work with, and have vision for the highest and best use of a space! See you on site soon!

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.



NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
