## About

### Houzz Badges

- 1,000 Ideabook Saves

Our vision for Mermans Architecture & Design (MArchD)  is to create a design-centered architectural practice, which treats each project as a unique opportunity, to provide clients something inspiring, new, innovative, and timeless.   

Even though architecture has been my primary focus , I've always had interest and have been involved with other design crafts, such as furniture, landscape, and interiors.  MArchD has developed a collaborative team of designers, to provide a wide breadth of design services to fit the clients needs.  

My background in design start with my roots in the rural Netherlands, where I spent my elementary years.  It is hard to describe exactly, but the experiences there, living in a farm house, and commuting in a very human scale Dutch town environment, has influenced every bit of my aptitude as a designer.

**★★★★★ — HU-12478, Jan. 2016**

> Complete architectural design for renovation of a large gaming/billiards room and new theater room.  Bryan developed a wonderful design, suggesting and incorporating architectural elements that we didn't think possible.  It came together grandly and the space looks perfect now that construction is complete.  Bryan helped us all the way through the final phase of construction, helping us make sure it was done correctly, insisting upon fixes from the builder when it was not.  We're very happy with the result.  Thanks Bryan!

**★★★★★ — coopann, Jan. 2016**

> Bryan is a (not for long) hidden gem in the Charlotte residential architectural design community. His designs certainly do not go unnoticed. He has a masterful mind for taking a concept to completion. I am nearing completion of building Bryan's plan and there is not a day that goes by without someone stopping by to inquire about who designed the house. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the creativity that went into the design. I'm as tough of a critic as you will find but not in this case. This one will certainly stand the test of time and will be talked about for years to come.

**★★★★★ — elizabethtierney04, Jan. 2016**

> Bryan Mermans is an excellent example of what it is to be a professional at his craft. His designs are stunning, well thought out as well as creative. His design incorporated "new" ideas while still maintaining the old character and design of our home.
> Bryan is easy to work with. We highly recommend Bryan and his team to help with any design projects.

**★★★★★ — Simonini Homes, Jan. 2016**

> We have built many of Charlotte's premier Homes. Bryan Merman's architecture is very creative. Bryan gets what you you want right away and delivers creatative and timeless designs that are some of the best I have seen in my career. Bryan also is very responsive and gets the job done very quickly, which for a home builder is very important also.

  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 17
  - Description: Custom design for owner. Residence with three levels and a detached garage. Owner desired a larger house relative to smaller houses in the neighborhood, but still wanted to keep the appearance of a smaller scale home. To achieve the look, we added a hipped roof and kept eaves at a 1.5 story level. Instead of traditional framed-in porches, we conceived of a recessed porch much like a deep pueblo porch.

This is an incredible rendering. Do you mind if I ask you what program you use to create this?

**Q: Love the bar stools!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Could you please tell me where to buy these bar stools?
Thanks!
