## About

### Houzz Badges

- 100 Ideabook Saves

Hopkins Clegg Architects is a full-service architecture firm founded on a deep understanding of what makes a home sustainable, personal, and exceptional.
From historic homes with a rich and layered past to modern custom homes, we specialize in personalization and collaboration—with exceptional support and communication from the pre-planning stage to the final touches. We offer an insider’s attention to detail, two decades of experience, and close connections to local historic preservation commissions, zoning, and building departments.

We often work at the intersection of a delicate balance: crafting sustainable spaces within the boundaries of historic preservation or creating new homes that elevate their environments. New or old, your home’s history is only one part of its story–you get to craft its future.

**★★★★★ — Kinjal Nicholls, Nov. 2019**

> Hopkins Clegg Architects are professional, thoughtful and very well-informed. My husband and I contracted their services in August of 2017 to renovated our bare-bones basement into a 1-bedroom apartment. They walked us through the whole construction process from plans to final inspections. During the drafting process, Kristin listened to our "wants/needs" for the space and designed 3 different option and went through all the pros and cons of each. Once we decided, they helped us with the bidding process, again explaining the pros and cons of each bid. They highlighted important information and helped us pick the best contractor for the job. During construction, they even visited the permitting office with us to make sure we got everything we needed. We highly recommend HCA. We are very pleased with their work.

  - Description: Our work at Sherman Place consisted of exterior renovation work on the front facade. The existing facade looked very similar to the adjacent building to the right. The porch was sagging and enclosed and needed to be repaired. We worked with the clients to restore the facade to represent its historic nature. We opened up the porch, replaced/restored all the trim and steps, as well as replaced the doors and windows.
