I've worked with Rick Fifield for over 25 years on numerous projects including historic property renovations in the French Quarter and Uptown. His work is outstanding and I highly recommend him whether you are renovating or building new. He is essential for all of my projects for his unmatched knowledge of New Orleans architecture and understanding of the key design elements that make the homes here so special.

We've worked with Rick on multiple renovations, and he is a dream partner in the work. He is humble and easy to work with, while still being incredibly knowledgeable about historical preservation issues. He thinks about homes as both architecture and as places where people live, integrating modern conveniences into the beauty of a historic home. We love him and will continue to work with him. Highly recommend.

I have enjoyed working with Rick on several projects over the years. Rick is thorough, creative ,attentive and mindful of historic preservation and continuity. He interfaces and communicates extremely well with contractors and others who are working on the project, as well, insuring a seamless and clear path from design to completion. Personally, I can't imagine any project without his guidance. I look forward to having an opportunity to work with him again.

Rick Fifield has done several projects for me over 23 years. His work is impeccable and thoughtful. During that time he has won several awards for his work on historic properties. Recently, I viewed a historic property he had done over that looked as if it were the original building! My projects have been more modern. He just completed plans for an addition to my home which I call The Moon Room. I've always wanted to sleep under the stars and watch the moon move through the night sky. He is making my long-time dream come true. He listened to my wants and created the perfect space for me. As usual, he will be present every step of the way until completion.

Rick is currently the Architect on the house we are renovating uptown . After several meetings over the course of a year with myself, my wife and my mother in law(we had time to plan). he prepared architectural and building plans for our dream house. We are about 4 months away from completion and we could not be more excited! I Highly recommend Rick to anyone who wants a thoughtful, creative and damn fine architect.

We have worked with Rick on 2 major renovation projects - one in New Orleans, one in North Carolina. His vision for our renovations were just what we needed for the job. He was able to consider all the aspects of flow, light, storage, and energy conservation while maintaining the integrity of the original design of the houses. Rick was very thorough and most importantly very honest and forthright about what will work and what will not work. We would never consider another project without him.

I am a local general contractor who has known and worked with Rick for several years on many projects. Rick is a true professional in every sense of the word. His plans and overall planning of the project are second to non. When you hire Rick you get an architect that listens to what YOU want and then he guides you to the best most architecturally correct and comprehensive design possible. His drawings are packed with information and will enable the contractor and client to get accurate numbers for the project as well as greatly reducing the dreaded change orders. We can without reservation recomend Rick Fifield as a professional architect who knows New Orleans !

I have known and worked on projects with Rick for over thirty years. Rick is an innovative, talented and experienced architect with a passion for historic preservation and communication skills second to none. I have seen him design and complete many diverse type projects in varied locations and complexity. Rick’s deep knowledge of his craft has served me well on my projects. At times he has gently guided me away from unsound paths. At other times he has formulated brilliant solutions to intractable problems. I would highly recommend Rick for anyone looking for a talented architect.
