Quite honestly, I don't know any architect that I would recommend.
One of the problems with the house you posted is that it has no real character. It is an amalgam of what folks think a nice house should look like. As a tract house that should be self evident. But if you are looking for an architect designed house, that means you should avoid the "tract house" appearance while remaining in the area of contemporary acceptability. Some of the elements of contemporary design that would need to be included are things like separating the master suite from the other bedrooms by the public areas of the house, minimizing duct work by grouping all the rooms around a central heating/cooling systems, etc. A good architect should be able to make those elements that create a contemporary home work as efficiently as possible. He/She should also get to know the lifestyle of the people inhabiting the house to where their interests and activities are enhanced. The old adage "form follows function" should be paramount.
Other than that I don't really know what to suggest.
It is a builder house. That means it was just built generically without much thought on design. Almost all houses in the US are builder houses. Less than 5% of houses in the US are designed by architects.
I am not a RE professional but think I can get help from you
I find a home with interesting architecture, but just wonder what is the name of the style, could you help to identify it?

I would "crap a la carte" I hate cultured stone, but that brings a new level of ugliness to the material.
One of the earlier posters was right, it's very loosely based on "French Provincial" architecture and would classified as "Neotraditional"...like the vast majority of new homes built today with a cartoonish faux historical facade.
Good, your post is most professional one so far.
For all identifiable architects, they are big, much beyond 2000 sqt. This is about 1600 sqt that shows some style.
Could you enlighten us with some nicer architect if any that designs smaller home?
No architect would design that building you posted. It's not architecture. Any architect will take on a small project - if it's architecturally interesting.

Yes. Well they'd do it if they were really broke and had no choice.
