Your new home should be a unique work of art that reflects your family's specific lifestyle needs. As you embark on this journey, a journey that should be pleasurable and as "stress -free" as possible, your design partner should be one that has the real world knowledge and experience that you can rely on. Our background as technically trained and licensed architects and interior designers, not 'residential designers', along with the hundreds of homes that we have been involved with across the country, will provide you with the peace of mind and level of trust you need to make this experience a positive one. As you review our work, you will see that our passion and attention to detail is evident in everything we do in the creation of the perfect custom home for your family. ### Services Provided - Architecture - Planning - Interior Design ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Johnson Architecture | | Address | Knoxville, Tennessee 37920, United States | | Phone | (866) 467-9060 | | Website | http://www.jainc.com | | Followers on Houzz | 191 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/johnsonarchitectureinc - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=2661422&goback=%2eanb\_2661422\_\*2\_\*1\_\*1\_\*1\_\*1\_\*1 - Blog — http://www.pinterest.com/jainc1994 ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Johnson Architecture](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/johnson-architecture-pfvwus-pf~1166083937) - **Website:** http://www.jainc.com - **Phone:** (866) 467-9060 ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — cmhslp, Nov. 2014** > Ed, Blaine, Kathy, & Roger, meet Terri Johnson, architect. After working for renown firms like Perkins & Will and Lucien LaGrange, Terri struck out on her own about ten years ago. I had the good fortune to work with her when rehabbing the kitchen and two baths at my previous residence, which was no small feat in an “historic” coach house that presented us with a number of surprises that she managed with grace, finesse, expertise and a lot of creativity. > > Terri has an uncanny ability to ask the right questions at the right time when working with a client, GC, designer, and subs, and always delivers in a timely manner, as well as oversees a project with a precise and thorough eye for details that a layperson may overlook. Better yet, she does not have to use an expediter for permits since she has the technology capabilities to do pretty much everything online with the geniuses at City Hall. Terri also has long-term relationships with engineers and other licensed professionals/specialists whom you might need for a given project. > > When looking for an architect in the city or burbs (and Terri is available on a select basis for out of town projects— my parents used her for a kitchen/office/garage/entranceway redo at their home in St. Louis in 2006), I would strongly recommend her for any of your projects that require an architect. **★★★★★ — lilcutie809, Aug. 2014** > I love how you design the house. It inspires me to design it and decorate it. I love the water park that you put on your website it was beautiful. The way you designed it was amazing and beautiful. **★★★★★ — shillho, Dec. 2013** > Johnson Architecture has a very professional staff and their designers always do a really great job on architecture and design projects. ## Selected projects - [Lakefront Stone Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakefront-stone-cottage-pj-vj~6292578) - Location: Louisville, TN - Photos: 7 - Description: This private residence, located in a planned community along Fort Loudoun Lake in Knoxville, Tennessee, is intended to be a forever home for the client couple and their family as the couple nears retirement.
