Pavelchak Architecture, P.A.

Matthew has provided us with two architectural designs, and both were a little complicated. One was retrofitting a 100 year old log cabin, the other was to design a home office/workshop. I wanted the home office/workshop to be inspired by a Frank Lloyd Wright residence (I had very specific design criteria), and Matthew did not disappoint. He introduced concepts that never would have imagined. We interviewed other architects, settled on Matthew, and are so glad we did. He has responded to phone calls and emails within hours, and provided suggestions during the building process to help smooth over differences between the drawings and the builder's strong will. We have no doubt that we will use Pavelchak services in the future as we plan out a future house!

We talked with a number of architects when we decided to build a house in Asheville. We narrowed the list down to four and met with each of them to explain what we envisioned. While all four were incredibly talented, Matthew Pavelchak stood out. Matthew’s concept captured exactly what we wanted — an open main level with big windows to enable us to enjoy the view and a mountain modern exterior that incorporated wood, stone and steel. He was responsive and easy to work with throughout the design phase and he promptly incorporated changes we wanted and worked well with the builder we chose as we finalized our plans and began to build. During construction, Matthew checked in on the progress regularly and he caught a major mistake in time for it to be corrected without a significant disruption. The plans included a 375 square foot screened porch held up on cantilevered steel beams about 25 to 30 feet above the ground. Matthew discovered that the steel fabricator made and installed beams for the porch floor that were too short and would have reduced the size of the porch by a third. The beams were removed and replaced, and we ended up with the porch we envisioned. We’ve been in our house for several months now and it is exactly what we wanted. The layout is warm, inviting and functional. Everyone that has seen our house loves it and often when I’m working in the yard people stop to tell me how much they like the look of our house. We made the right choice when we chose Matthew Pavelchak. We didn’t just get an architect, we got a friend too.

We met with Matthew Pavelchak in the summer of 2017 to discuss plans for rebuilding a house on Beech Mountain. We wanted the new house to capture the spirit of the traditional Alpine Haus put on our lot in the late 1960's, but with the quality construction, updated features, and more comfortable living that a new home could provide. Matthew really listened to our needs and came up with a beautiful, creative, livable design. Throughout the construction process, he made himself available to talk with our contractor and visit the construction site multiple times to clarify the plans and answer questions. The house was completed in June 2020 and we could not be happier with the final product. Matthew designed a gorgeous, user friendly, comfortable home that we will be in for many years. I whole-heartedly recommend Pavelchak Architecture for your new home.
