Finding an architect for new construction

[Len P.]

Hi everyone! We are going to be building a new construction house on land in Massachusetts. We have an engineering company that we've worked with before that can do the architecture and engineering plans and submit for a permit. We would like to work with an architect to help us come with the design, layout, and elevations for the house. We're looking for a modern look that will fit in with the mountain location. We're contacting local architects and we also thought to see if this is something that could be done remotely. Have you ever worked with a remote architect on a project like this? If you did, how did you find them? Thank you!
