Architects in Brevard, NC

“I have built seven houses for various reasons over the years and am happy to report that my experience with Grant and Grant was the most enjoyable I have had. We converted a garage into a guest house and I now spend 99% of my time in the guest house! Those guys are first class in every department. They listen, they communicate, and they meet deadlines. I would use them again in a minute. CF”

“It was great working with Richard - he has unbounded enthusiasm for creating environmentally healthy homes which use as little on-grid energy as possible. His creative ideas regarding passive solar heating meshed right in with my less-educated desires. The end result is an Energy Star certified home with passive solar heating and active solar water heating .... and it looks good too!!!!”

“The best part of building a house was working with Tiffany of Prudhomme Design and Interiors. She made the process so enjoyable and her knowledge of space and color is incomparable. The benefit of using Prudhomme Design and Interiors is that not only do you get the best architectural design but I love that Tiffany was also our decorator. Our furnishing are incredible, even after 8 years living in our home. I highly recommend using this company. I couldn't have been happier.”

“My husband and I were very fortunate to have Robert Griffin, President of Griffin Architects, PA and Fireside Antiques, Asheville, NC provide us with a home makeover. Mr. Griffin is a well known and respected Asheville architect and designer, very knowledgeable and capable. He is experienced with both multi-million dollar homes and modest homes such as ours. One of the many things that impressed us was Mr. griffin's gracious attitude. Our home was shown the same attention and care as would be given a much larger project. He was consistently respectful and considerate, taking into account our personalities, lifestyle and the pets who share (and sometimes rule!) our home. Our house is eleven years old, and I could never get the interior "right". I knew we needed a lot of help. I had no idea how to bring my vision to life, or even what my vision was. We only had one piece of furniture, bought eleven years ago, that I still liked. I showed Mr. Griffin that piece and said that I wanted the rest of the house to have that modern look and feel. I knew there was a vibe I wanted our home to have but couldn't put in words and certainly had not a clue how to achieve. He nailed it! Working with us every step of the way, he brought my very cloudy vision to life, and on budget, in a timely fashion. Griffin Architects designed a personalized cabinet for TV and my husband's pottery. (He is a potter.) Mr. Griffin was able to see specifically what we needed for TV and pottery, along with a very striking area rug, furniture and art, all designed for our home. And designed with us; we always felt part of the project, our needs always top priority. Fireside Antiques designed beautiful draperies and other soft goods. Almost as important, this creative designer managed to make the project fun! We can honestly say it really was a fun project with a great outcome. We could not be more pleased. Pics are included. One is the before. Think you can tell which one it is! Ann Dice Hendersonville, NC”

“We had the opportunity to work with Harris Architects on their "Casa Melanzana" residential project in Lake Glenville, NC. With much of our work geared towards modern and contemporary homes, it was a delight to build products designed for a more traditional aesthetic. Harris Architects proved to be very focused on both the needs and the vision of their client, and provided creative solutions specific to the project. We welcome the chance to work with them again in the future, and highly recommend their services.”

“Ken Gaylord and Blackhawk Construction built our 642 sf AAC block cottage. Ken interviewed us to better understand what spaces we mostly inhabited in our former house. He listened very well. The cottage he designed is ideal for us. We have been living in this cottage since 2006 and it is amazing that, for it's size, it feels even more spacious than our twice the size former house. The details are cozy. We have window alcoves, which make the space intimate. The radiant floor heat is such remarkable; clean, silent and efficient. The views from our living space give one the feeling of being in a treehouse. Ken Gaylord worked with us, took the time to go over our concerns, stayed on budget and was complete with the work on time. How many people can say that about their new home? We wholeheartedly recommend Ken Gaylord and his associates.”

“Happy to provide my highest recommendation for Rand and Home Architects. It can be difficult for one architect to recommend another as we all tend to think we, ourselves, are the best. In this case, my hat is off to Rand on a number of counts. First of all, he is a consummate professional dedicated to his clients and his profession who diligently works toward staying on top of best practices for detailing for quality construction, energy conservation and attention to balancing short term and long term costs. Secondly, kudos to Rand for the quality of his design work. He does not have a "style" that he forces on clients, but is rather able to design to meet the desires and tastes of his clients. Third, his dedication to the profession of architecture is evident in his work to help educate both clients and architects with insights gained through years of experience. OK, that's the truth about Rand. Just don't tell him that any other architect actually said these things as it may induce shock. :) If you are in his area and considering an architect - call him. You'll be glad you did. John A. Hrivnak, AIA, MBA, NCARB, LEED AP”

“Ryan did an excellent job designing the new front to our old (outdated and ugly) lake home. We love the results. He teamed well with the contractor and also with us. I highly recommend his work. We consistently get compliments on how different and wonderful our house looks now. It was worth the investment to use his services.”

“We have worked with Wayland on several projects and found him to be outstanding in all phases of construction. Wayland and his associates are very responsive and knowledgeable. We believe the key to being a great Architect, is being a great communicator and listener. Wayland has mastered that skill.”

“The company I work for recently hired ACM Design to redesign a small office space into a room for client meetings. Our goal was to mimic the atmosphere of a residential space from within the walls of an office building. From the very beginning of the design process, Amy was very responsive and helped greatly in navigating our needs into what was realistic for the space. With less than 200 square feet of space to work with, we had quite the challenge, but ACM Design's creative use of space and furnishings helped our project to become a beautiful setting where clients feel at home, rather than feeling like they are in a bland and sterile office. In the end, our project finished on time and on budget and we owe many thanks to the team at ACM Design for their guidance, support and expertise. We highly recommend Amy and the ACM Design team for any residential or commercial project.”
