“After interviewing several architects to design a home for us in Rockbridge Baths, VA, we chose Candace Smith. She totally fulfilled our expectations. She was an active listener as well as a creative collaborator. She was able to blend our ideas for a home with the skill and knowledge needed to develop building plans. The end result is a stunning as well as functional home overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. We met frequently with Candace Smith on the building site and in her office to ensure that the house would meet our expectations which included placing the house in just the right location to maximize the views. Additionally, she joined us in interviewing prospective builders and worked with him throughout the construction process. In sum, Candace is a superb architect and it was wonderful to work with her and her staff.”

“It truly was a pleasure working with Greg Winkler an architect with Wassenaar + Winkler. I was referred to their company from one of the top reputable builders in Nelson County for my Amherst project. My Amherst client's hired me on as their interior designer. It was a great day when I called Greg Winkler. He has such patience with great attention to detail along with a phenomenal work ethic. His professionalism my client's were also very impressed by. The collaboration between Greg and I along with the client's vision helped create the perfect plans. The end result was a huge success! Thank you again Wassenaar + Winkler for all your knowledge and expertise along with quality work. I highly recommend this architect company and look forward to working with them again.

“Ruth Ellen completed a whole-house renovation (2003) and a screen porch design (2012) for our family. She is insightful, practical, and thinks of things to incorporate into her designs that we never in a million years would have thought of. She's got inter-personal and listening skills that would make a professional mediator jealous--traits that come in handy when managing the expectations and goals of a builder, owner, and even spouses! Working with her has always been a pleasure, and ten years on we are proud to call her our friend as well as our architect.”

“I'm currently working with Chris Hays on a new, energy efficient, modern farm house. From the beginning of the process Chris has listened to my goals and concerns, and creatively interpreted them into a beautiful and functional home. The space is light and open, and I feel so lucky to be able to soon live into such a special, unique home. In addition, Chris has been very considerate with budgetary concerns and worked with me and the builder along the way to keep to our budget, and in some instances creating additional savings (which I can't complain about!). Chris Hays and the Hays-Ewing team have just been wonderful to work with.”

“Thea is absolutely fantastic to work with! She listens to what I like and want and then guides with the perfect touch. I would never have been able to do my kitchen without her help and it turned out better than I could have dreamed.”

“Charles is passionate about his calling, yet he listens and doesn't force his views. Most importantly, Charles is honest, stands behind the advice he gives and puts his client's interests first.”

“Mr. Gilpin is an approved architect for The Greenbrier Sporting Club, which is a private, members only residential community on the grounds of the historic Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. He has designed many residences on property and is also a member of the Greenbrier Sporting Club Architectural Review Board. His attention to detail is beyond reproach and his designs are truly a work of art. He is knowledgeable about all styles of architecture and his desire to bring your vision to reality is evident in his sincere dedication in working with the homeowner.”

“We initially contacted Frazier Associates as a potential architect for our retirement house in Nellysford VA. After meeting with their team we accepted their proposal and began working closely with our architect, Annie Mathot. Interactions moved from overall style and basic room layout to progressively more specific details about every aspect of the house. Annie was able to capture exactly what we were looking for as a concept and then guide us in making the multitude of decisions and choices involved in turning that concept into a set of plans. Meetings with her were always a pleasure (we actually enjoyed the process), and she was always knowledgable about pros and cons of design alternatives. She kept in close contact via email on an almost daily basis as the project moved forward. She and Frazier Associates kept everything on schedule, and prepared all of the required plans and drawings within the initial cost estimate. They provided suggestions for selection of a builder, and recommended the builder we eventually selected. Their knowledge of and experience with local builders was invaluable here since our house was not the typical residential construction project for the area. They continued to assist us throughout the process of getting the house built, interacting with us and the builder on a regular basis. Our vision was to have a "new old house" that had the feel of an older home, and Frazier Associates made it possible for us to achieve our desired result.”

“Fred was a pleasure to work with. Friendly but professional. Innovative. Cost and value conscious. He also has a history as a builder and woodworker which is quite helpful. He was very helpful in working with us to finish our design process and because of him we likely have a more beautiful and functional building than we otherwise would have. He was very helpful in figuring out what we could do ourselves and what we should hire out.”

“We hired Wolf Ackerman in 2006 to design a modern two-story addition to our 1920 bungalow in Charlottesville, Virginia. Across the board, we give Fred and Dave (the firm’s principals) and their staff the highest of marks. They delivered everything you could ask for – thoughtful design, excellent service, creative and challenging ideas, and clear communication. They struck the perfect balance between listening to and respecting what we wanted, and pushing those ideas forward into a refined and cohesive design that we never could have formulated ourselves. Wolf Ackerman recognizes that design is inherently an iterative process, and they were consistently excellent at finding creative and thoughtful solutions to small issues while staying true to our collective vision. The end result was a wonderful addition that more than doubled the size of our home, while respecting the character of the original structure, and beautifully integrated the old with the new. While modest in space and material choices due to our budget, Wolf Ackerman envisioned and then created a space that consistently made people say “wow” when they walked in, while at the same time made a home that our family loved to live in. A job change and a move forced us to us to sell this house, but it is a place we loved living in and will always miss. We would recommend Wolf Ackerman to anyone looking for talented and dedicated designers who can deliver thoughtful and creative modern architecture and are wonderful to work with.
