“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.”

“Fantastic work--responsive to each site and nicely put together. And a bonus: Michael and Steve are great to work with.”

“I have been working with Tom Crouthamel on our home design for about 5 years. We designed the project in two phases starting with a carriage house that would become a guest house. The idea was to live in the carriage house while we built the main house, which is what we are doing now. The main house is nearing completion. Tom has been wonderful from the start. He is a talented designer as well as a genuinely nice person. Unlike many architects Tom never lets his ego get in the way. He is a team player. I wish I had enough positive words to say about TC2 Design. http://www.tc2design.com/about_tc2/index.html http://www.houzz.com/projects/934625/serendipity”

“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.”

“David designed our 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home and we love it. He listened to us and built our dream house starting with placing it in the exact right place on our property. It isn't just a house - it is a graceful, beautiful house with many design elements we would never have thought of without David. Recently (project finished November 2016), he designed a basement apartment for us. Again, his design skills made the difference between a good use of space and a lovely apartment.”

“My relationship with Train and Partners began 20 years ago with two large commercial projects. Since that time they have designed two residential remodeling projects plus designed and managed the construction of two vacation homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It is quite obvious that we have been more than pleased with their professional talents and our personal relationship. It is a very satisfying experience to have someone convert your long and sometimes vague wish list into a beautiful home.”

“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.”

“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”

“Andy Thomas designed three beautiful, light filled new spaces--kitchen, foyer and porch, created a gorgeous dining area and widened doorways and created wheelchair access to the front and side entrances using subtle grading. He transformed our cramped 1960s rambler into a spacious, open and light-filled home. In addition to having a fine sense of design, he knows a lot about construction, so he was helpful throughout the process.”
