In an area where city building codes can be very challenging, Winn masterfully navigated the codes to design and build a spectacular home optimizing the space to insure that every inch was utilized to the fullest. The design is both artistic and functional with some very unique architectural finishes that really made the house fun and beautiful. He gladly went through numerous revisions of the design prior to initiating construction to insure we were thrilled with our home. We can't recommend Winn highly enough. **Comment from Winn Wittman Architecture A.I.A.:** > Thank you Brannon. It’s great to see you and your family enjoying the home! **★★★★★ — John Florez, Oct. 2018** > Imagine the experience of building a dream home that is an extension of yourself. A home that is an expression of your dreams, your success and highest aspirations, that is the Winn Witman experience. Oh, and he also happens to be a great guy who is incredibly passionate about delivering the highest quality service that exceed all your expectations. **Comment from Winn Wittman Architecture A.I.A.:** > Thank you John. It has been a real pleasure knowing you and working with you and your family. **★★★★★ — Milan Custom Build, April 2018** > In Why Buildings Stand Up the author, Mario Salvadori has this to say about architects today: "A good architect today must be a generalist, well versed in space distribution, construction techniques, and electrical and mechanical systems, but also knowledgeable in financing, > real estate, human behavior, and social conduct. In addition, he is an artist, entitled to the expression of his aesthetic tenets." > > Winn is the embodiment of the description above. Having served as both an architect AND a contractor on multiple projects, Winn has a firm grasp on construction costs and uses his unparalleled creativity to find solutions for clients that fit within their budget. Most importantly, not only will Winn deliver you the home of your dreams, but you'll make a friend within the process and this is why we plan to collaborate with Winn on many more projects for years to come. **Comment from Winn Wittman Architecture A.I.A.:** > Thank you Sam, Scott and team. Working with you is a dream. **★★★★★ — Sarah Stasney-Chun, May 2017** > Winn designed our house. In choosing an architect, it isn't just about the finished product, but about the process. We initially selected three modern architects, and Winn stood out due to his flexibility to fit within two working parent schedules, and most importantly, his ability to listen to us/not spend the whole interview trying to sell us. He has a beautiful, unique genius to his work, and I never imagined we would be living in a house this amazing. I couldn't recommend him more highly to build your next dream home. **★★★★★ — Sam Coffman, April 2017** > Winn is, without question, an exception architect. His designs are creative, compelling and beautiful works of modern art. His attention to detail, patience, and ability to clearly communicate ideas and concepts make Winn, and his staff, a pleasure to work with. > > As a window and glass door dealer, I cannot speak highly enough of his ability to effectively communicate and organize his plans and projects. It is the critical quality that allows all parties involved to clearly understand the scope and vision of the project, which is the crucial element in bringing ideas to life. > > I highly recommend working with Winn on your next project. Keep up the good work! **★★★★★ — Garett Kates, March 2017** > We had a great experience working with Winn. He listened to our ideas/requests and designed us a beautiful home. He and his assistant, Joe, were a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them. **Comment from Winn Wittman Architecture A.I.A.:** > Thank you so much Garrett. It was a pleasure working with you and Becky! **★★★★ — User, Sept. 2016** > I have had the pleasure to collaborate with Winn on over a dozen projects since moving to Austin in the fall of 2014. Winn is a consummate professional adept at designing at the highest level but remaining grounded in the fundamentals of architecture. On projects ranging in scale from 400sf garage renovations 10,000sf villas, Winn applies the same care and detail in his approach to design. A diverse background in design and construction and an approachable nature give him a great ability to help navigate clients through the design process. I would highly recommend for projects of any scale or any style. **★★★★ — User, Sept. 2016** > I have worked with Winn Wittman on numerous houses and projects. His architecture always stands out as one of the top in Austin, Texas. He has an ability to make the most difficult site a true work of art and the client feels very pleased to work with him. I would recommend him to any of my clients as someone they can trust to get the best design. > Diane Dopson, Broker **★★★★★ — info379940, May 2016** > My home was completed in 2011 and yet Winn and I still keep in contact about my home. From the start, he listened. He offered suggestions and alternates. He was hired because I new we shared a view of what could be done to create a special home. The design was exactly what I hoped for. When my contractor needed guidance, Winn was always available. He was a regular visitor to the jobsite. He has created that special home. But I got more than a design. His knowledge of material and method was essential. Even today his availability and guidance gives me much more than I could have expected. **★★★★★ — Steve Dailey, May 2016** > Winn Wittman is an artist, a meticulous professional and has an amazingly creative mind. I have seen him completely reinvent turmoil (a good project started by someone else that went terribly bad) into a masterpiece. I've watched as he patiently pulled dreams from the minds of aspiring homeowners and created a dream home that not only fully expressed their vision but went beyond. And I've watched as he tenaciously did literally whatever it took to complete a project to precise standards to satisfy standards of excellence that were far beyond those of his clients. > > Winn is world class in most every important way: creativity and innovation, trust and integrity, work ethic and follow through. He is not in any way "cookie cutter" or "run of the mill" or "common". If a prospective homeowner is looking for a world class expression of their unique vision for not only a dream home, but a dream lifestyle - Winn is perfect, unique and one-of-a-kind collaborative partner that will make that happen. Bottom line: He'll knock you socks off. **★★★★★ — Cravotta Interiors, May 2016** > Winn Wittman Architecture is at the forefront of Austin's rapidly developing landscape. A distinctively modern aesthetic and a relentless commitment to quality, sets the firm in a small elite class of Austin architects. **★★★★★ — Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes, April 2016** > It has been an exciting venture for Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes to work with Winn Wittman on building one of his cutting edge architectural designs. He has a keen eye for detail and extensive knowledge of building practices, which sets him apart from others. Our Purchasing Director, Sheena McKnight, is particularly thrilled about this project because it is a departure from the familiar and requires creative approaches to traditional building techniques. Zbranek & Holt fully embraces the challenge of building “outside the box” and truly enjoy working with Winn to bring his vision to life.
