Architects in West Jefferson, NC

“Thom Lewis helped us put our basic ideas for a house plan onto paper. He quickly understood our likes and dislikes and really brought our dream house to life. He was easy to work with and very receptive to our endless thoughts. The final plans presented to us by Thom were exactly what we were hoping for. We couldn't be more pleased with his design services. We highly recommend Thom Lewis.”

“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.”

“Working with Mark Lee on our vacation home design was a pleasant experience. Because of his recommendations, our house is not only exactly the style we love, but is also functional. It is a cozy retreat for the two of us when we are here alone, yet it comfortably accommodates our visiting family and friends. Mark's plan maximizes our square footage so the house feels much larger than it actually is. We've had many compliments, beginning with the contractor who said the plans were "builder friendly." As we requested, Mark designed our house with "wow" factors---such as the lofted ceiling, beautiful staircase, fireplace & custom shelves, and huge screened porch---that still "wow" our guests (and us every time we come.) Completely satisfied with Mark's creative talents, knowledge, and attention to detail, we hired him in 2011 to design us a primary home in Alabama. Again, we were please with his work from start to finish.”

“Bradley is currently working with us on our new home. He is very talented, and also very patient. I tend to change my mind frequently I'm afraid. He never gets flustered, and is always prompt with returning emails and phone calls. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. We have not starting building our home yet, but hope to be underway in the next month.”

“I first met Kimberly in 2001 when we were volunteers on a work day with Habitat for Humanity. Since that time I've worked with her on 10 or more projects. I've come to appreciate Kim more on each project. She draws great plans and does a masterful job of looking after her clients interest. In an age where every builder and architect touts themselves as being "green," few truly understand what it means. Kim is well prepared to help her clients build the most efficient and sustainable home.”

“My husband and I are thrilled to be starting construction on our family home designed by Christopher Kellie Design Inc.. It was a true pleasure to work with Brent and Autumn Simmons throughout the design process. Not only is the architecture of Christopher Kellie aesthetically pleasing, it is also very smart in it's design. As a contractor/designer myself, I was first drawn to the "look" of the houses designed by the Simmons, however the actual use of space proved to be just as impressive. Brent's background knowledge in construction is obvious, as his layouts are very builder-friendly. Close attention is given to sizes and spatial relationships, allowing for maximum usage of area and efficiency with materials. On a more personal note, the Simmons were a joy to meet and work with. We live in another state, and they were most accommodating from the beginning. Autumn helped us to plan our trip to the beautiful mountains of NC, giving us recommendations for lodging, dining, as well as the best places to visit while in the area. The two also opened up their home to us, allowing us to see first hand their designs put to life. Since our visit, they have checked in periodically on our progress and we look forward to sharing photos soon! We are very thankful for the opportunity to work with Christopher Kellie Design Inc. and look forward to keeping up with this talented couple's future designs and projects. -Billy & Kelly Mann, Appomattox, VA”

“Banner's Cabinets worked with Tom and Kathleen on a luxury home several years ago and are in the process of another project of similar scope. Kathleen's cabinet designs have been featured in some of our most popular photos on Houzz. She is talented and creative. Tom is a top-notch home builder. He runs a tight ship and builds a quality product. You never have to be concerned that he'll meet a deadline. If he says he will do it, you can take that to the bank. We very much enjoy working with these two quality professionals and recommend you use them for your luxury home.”

“As a General Contractor in Boone, I have known Bill for many years. He's creative, practical and a person of integrity. He also has great people working for him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to build in the High Country.”
