Diseño de edificios en Hood, VA

“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.”

“Working with Ben Robbins (and the entire team at Pillar & Perch) has truly been a wonderful experience. Throughout our project to design and build a new home for us, they have consistently been knowledgeable, professional, and are a pleasure to work with. After listening to what we wanted and looking at our lot, Ben’s first design was nearly spot on (we only tweaked a few very minor things). That was impressive! Then, throughout the build process, they have gone out of their way to please us and ensure that we’re happy. Ben is very responsive and keeps us informed as to what is going on, and has even found us some ways to save money without sacrificing from the architectural integrity of the project. I highly recommend this company, and would use them again in a heartbeat.”

“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.”

“We loved working with Adams. He's an excellent listener. He has superb taste and gave many aesthetically pleasing yet practical recommendations.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Working with Alloy Workshop has been very easy. They came up with great ideas to fit our needs, style, and priorities. They helped us make decisions about the project. Their meticulous planning of the project has made the construction stage very smooth. Everyone who works there is super friendly and professional.”

“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. David and Jordan Phemister”
