Hire that architect. Hire us.
Seriously, it takes years (7 years of school for me - all architecture), then years in the field to understand it and create something of quality that meets your needs and works well as a design.
We have a prefab duplex that will be going up here in Denver and are working on a few other residential projects along the 'Dwell' lines (I caution you on over generalizing that, though).
Don't underestimate what it takes. Gather your ideas (sites, magazines, sketches, etc.) and bring them to an architect you feel would work well with them (did I mention you could hire us?).
You will end up with a superior home that was designed with you (and your family?), in mind. Don't settle for some generic cookie-cutter home and don't settle for a second rate architect (while cost is an issue, there are others, like us, that are just starting our businesses and can afford you to give you quality at a good price).
Feel free to shoot me any questions about my partner and I or just general questions about architecture, about the process, etc.
You are headed in the right direction by asking questions.
Cheers
