### Reviews

**★★★★★ — tisa, Oct. 2025**

> We are thrilled to share our experience working with Eric Spry and Spry Architecture. We had the pleasure of meeting Eric in 2018, while planning a custom home build. After meeting with several architectural firms in the Phoenix, AZ area, we chose to work with Spry Architecture. Eric stood out with his personal yet professional approach—he truly listened to our ideas while offering expert insights and valuable feedback. It was clear that he genuinely cared about his clients and had a deep understanding of his craft. We felt completely confident in his hands and hope others will benefit from hearing about our experience.

**★★★★★ — Eric Kenney, Oct. 2025**

> I am a real estate developer and general contractor. I retained the services of Spry Architecture to help me with site planning studies for nine 5-acre custom home sites in the Cave Creek, AZ area. Five of the sites are hill side lots with topo issues to overcome. Eric Spry did a great job of locating the homes to work best with the existing grades, thus minimizing the site development and retaining wall construction cost. At the same time, he located the homes to maximize the views and retain the existing high desert vegetation.  Eric and I walked the lots together and he is a great listener. As a contractor, I am very cost conscious. Eric listened to my concerns and because of his architectural skill, was able to create outstanding designs that I believe are also cost effective.

**★★★★★ — RAY KIMBROUGH, Aug. 2024**

> We had the pleasure of working with Eric on designing our modern home in Scottsdale, Arizona, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the very beginning, it was clear that Eric had a keen understanding of our vision and the unique aspects of our property.
>
> One of the standout features of the design is the incredible attention to sight lines, both inside and out. The way the spaces flow together while maintaining distinct areas is masterful, and the views from every room are nothing short of stunning. Every aspect of the design feels meticulously thought out, ensuring that our home is as functional as it is beautiful.
>
> Eric is not only a talented architect but also a great listener and problem solver. He took the time to understand our needs and concerns, and his solutions were always thoughtful and effective. His commitment to his work is evident in the way he limits the number of clients he takes on, allowing him to stay deeply involved throughout the build process. While we had to wait a few months before he could start on our project, it was well worth it for the level of care and attention he brought to every detail.
>
> Throughout the process, Eric was professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to making our dream home a reality. As a bonus, he's got great taste in whiskey too!
>
> We highly recommend his services to anyone looking to create a unique and thoughtfully designed home.

**★★★★★ — hzrside, Jan. 2024**

> We had a hillside property in Paradise Valley AZ that we struggled with for years. We wanted a design for a house that would incorporate all the outstanding views but would sit on the foundation of an older home. The reason being so that we could keep the existing retaining walls.
>
> We were introduced to Eric through a mutual builder. We interviewed a number of other architects but Eric stood out from the rest. His vision for the house and his eye on how to work with the existing infrastructure were exactly what we looking for. Eric worked with us throughout preliminary design phase and he came up with a design of a beautiful contemporary home that caught the impressive views of Camelback Mountain, the Papagos and downtown Phoenix.
>
> Eric managed the entire Hillside Review process with the Town of PV, which was a process that took over a year. While going through Hillside, Eric produced all the construction documents so once we received Hillside approval, we were able to immediately submit plans for a building permit. His attention to details meant he produced a set of construction documents that had very few of redlines.
>
> The final product was expletory. The floor plan draws praise from everyone. There is a view from almost every room and his design’s wow factor is off the charts. We feel very lucky to have found Eric and we were exceptionally pleased working with him. We would love to work with him again.

**★★★★★ — James, Dec. 2023**

> When we found a piece of property and were introduced to Eric Spry, we had no idea how fortunate we were. Not only did we find someone who could design our dream home, but also someone that could visualize and deliver absolutely stunning views of the natural surroundings of the Sonoran desert. We often tell others that simply put “Eric nailed every view we asked for”.
>
> At the beginning of the design process Eric documented everything we told him that was important to us and what we wanted in our home.  He listened closely and often reminded us that this home should be uniquely ours, and not a copy of other homes we had previously seen.  He is a tremendous listener who also gave us some amazing ideas to consider that we would have never imagined.
>
> One of our favorite lines from Eric is how “every detail is a unique note in the overall composition”.
>
> Eric also has a unique ability to work with HOAs, which helped paved the way for our home to be approved by our HOA architecture control board.  The architecture documents submitted to the city for approval required very little updates, indicating he and his team of engineers provided a quality product that sailed through the permitting process.
>
> Eric doesn’t just design a home and move on to the next project. He worked with our builder to see our project through the entire construction phase.  His attention to detail during construction was almost as important as what he put on paper.  He cares about and contributed to details during construction such as the layout and location of tile and grout lines on the floors, alignment of the window frames in coordination with both interior and exterior details, and the alignment of all the ceiling details including lights, ceiling fans and vents. He ultimately provided input into many details along the way to help ensure the final product not only met but exceeded our expectations.
>
> Eric's use of floor to ceiling windows provided us with life changing views we see from almost every room throughout the house. He educated on us the right balance of color and texture in both the interior and exterior. He was instrumental in creating interior elevations for our fireplace feature wall, and kitchen and bathroom details including design and placement of cabinetry, mirrors, appliances, sinks, etc.  Additionally, Eric provided us with his design and architectural opinion on many of the interior selections we made along the way, which was very helpful in solidifying our decisions.
>
> It is obvious that Eric is invested in his clients from beginning to end and is a joy to work with. He has a passion for his profession and truly loves the artistry of architecture. We would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to design a custom home.

**★★★★★ — HU-575585732, Aug. 2022**

> Eric was truly invested in our project from the start.  He was genuinely motivated by the opportunity presented in the varied terrain and the expansive views from the 24-acre property where we wanted to build our home.  Before we even signed a contract, he would drive out to our property on more than one occasion and walk the site for creative inspiration.  One time onsite with Eric he gazed out at a distance and told me that he wanted the structure to look as if a big raptor flew out of the sky and landed on the ridge with its wings extended.  I said, sounds interesting - if it won’t have a beak and a tail let’s go with that.  By then I knew Eric was not going to just throw together a design and move on to the next client.
>
> I can say that the design experience was rewarding and collaborative.  Eric welcomed our ideas, listened to them, and often used his creative imagination to embellish our ideas into something even grander.
>
> When executing on a design for a home that has never been built before, you will encounter problems along the way.  Eric applied his expertise and extensive resources to solve problems during the construction process so we could effectively accomplish our goals.
>
> Designing and constructing a custom home comes with some stress and anxiety.  Nevertheless, it was pleasant and fun to work with Eric and we felt like we were his only client.  I love a great sense of humor and Eric does not disappoint!
>
> Of course, the result of all this effort is a home that you must live in.  Ours is a distinctive one-of-a-kind home that functions nicely and most importantly, it's a joy to live in it.  Spry Architecture is highly recommended.

**Comment from Spry Architecture:**

> Thank you for the kind words! I loved working with you both on your project, which is truly one of a kind. We all contributed to build something special which wasn't easy but worth every difficult moment. And the views...wow...can't talk about the home without mentioning the views...amazing!

**★★★★★ — kathy, July 2022**

> When we relocated to Arizona, we were looking for an architect that specialized in designing contemporary homes. From our first meeting with Eric, we knew we found the perfect architect for this project.  We had a specific dream house in mind and Eric executed it to our specifications.  He truly listened to us regarding the size, style, space and how we planned to use each room. From our first set of drawings, he just seemed to
> "get it."  Any changes we requested were immediately addressed and problems worked through until we had our home plans completed. Eric was fully engaged during the building process, a key point, because the supervision of the build is as important as the architect's design. Eric supervised and oversaw all stages of the build. An important consideration when choosing an architect is the quality of his engineering team. Fortunately, Eric's engineers are very skilled and prompt to handle issues that arose from the town permitters and the builder.  Building a home is fought with anxiety, stress and frustrations, especially during a pandemic with shortage of materials and supplies. Eric kept us grounded, helping us keep our eye on the prize and what a prize it turned out to be.  Our home is everything we hoped for, wished for and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result.

**Comment from Spry Architecture:**

> Thank you! Loved working with you both, we accomplished something beautiful, unique, and truly one of a kind. Thankful to know and have worked with you both, you have amazing taste and made the finish process so easy. Happy for you and hope you enjoy every minute you spend in your home!

**★★★★★ — Alli Weyer, Feb. 2022**

> We worked with Eric to design our custom home in Phoenix.  We were drawn to Eric's clean lines and efficient use of spaces.  Eric's passions for modern architecture and client service are at the forefront of all he does.  Eric was collaborative and thoughtful, listening and applying our feedback and providing his years of experience in his responses.  We also engaged Eric for construction admin services, which we found invaluable throughout the build process.  Eric's attention to the crucial points of the build, written feedback to the contractor, and problem solving ability is second to none.  Our home turned out beautiful, functional and perfect for our growing family for years to come.

**Comment from Spry Architecture:**

> Thank you, Alli, I really enjoyed working with you and Isaac on your Phoenix home and I'm especially looking forward to working with you both again on the next home!

**★★★★★ — Paige Huff, July 2021**

> To say he isn't the best would be a crime. He is transparent, fun to work with, always working in our crazy ideas, and making a completely functional home for us. We have three kids with autism who receive therapy so having different spaces is important and he made that. Plus we have odd habits and wants and they are all in the house. Outside of that he is truly on the journey with you. We talk to him consistently and get weekly updates. I always know Eric will be there any time that something comes up for all his clients. I appreciate that when he met us he took all of who we are and put it into our forever home. We interviewed multiple people and he hands down beat them all.
>
> Also, he makes sure the project is moving forward. But is helpful with us being patient and not stressing because he is always following up. This allows me to just trust his process. I seriously could go on forever but I just can't say enough great things.

**Comment from Spry Architecture:**

> Thank you, Paige for the review. I've loved working with you both. The HOA process was quite the process but you'll have the only modern home in the community! Excited to see it start construction.

**★★★★★ — veenakops1, Jan. 2021**

> Spry Architecture worked with us to develop plans to build our house in Az. We had explored options and ideas for a long time on our own, and were delighted when Eric came to us with a solution we loved.
> The most important part of any construction project is the planning process. We bought the lot to build a single family home with beautiful views of the city and mountains. Throughout the entire design process, Eric took into account the various aspects that make a home truly livable and to ensure we design the house around our needs. He Explored and provided options before final design, each time going above and beyond our expectations.  He has stayed with us through rough times that we had with our initial builder and has held our hand since the beginning. He super friendly and really easy to work with. Eric is very knowledgeable and helped us tremendously with our house. We whole heartedly recommend Spry Architecture!

**Comment from Spry Architecture:**

> Thank you Veena! I've loved working with you both, it's a beautiful home and I'm excited to see your family living there!

**★★★★★ — Collective Construction, Dec. 2020**

> SpryArch is the perfect fit for our team.
>
> As a custom home builder with a discerning client, I was on the search for a competent architect that had a creative edge with a flavor of design that was daring, but fitting.
> \- One that will listen to the desires requested and respond with confidence and not cockiness.
> \- Someone that is easy to get along with and will answer the phone.
> \- I needed an architect that would assemble a team of engineers to properly design structural integrity without influencing the design.
> \- This architect needs to design the home to take advantage of views while creating privacy where desired and allow the inside feel like it is part of the outside environment, all while allowing daily life to flow throughout home with comfort and efficiency.
> \- I was on the search for an architect familiar with Building Science, the products and processes used to build a Passive home.
> \- More than anything and often overlooked, I need an architect that will design a set of plans that a 6th grader can understand, because if the plans are not legible, it doesn't sense, or there is inconsistency, then the design will not be correctly interpreted out in the field by the men and women that build the home.
>
> SpryArch has been found to be the architect our teem needed and has greatly satisfied our clients.
>
> We look forward to many projects to come.
>
> Thank you, SpryArch

**★★★★★ — Lori O, July 2019**

> Although we have not build our dream house yet, the dream hasn’t faded.
>
> I have to say, even though it's been quite awhile since we worked with Spry, I think about Eric and my house that he designed often. To say he was the most talented architect, doesn't come close to describing him.
>
> He is kind and he never forgot that it would be our house. I know that probably sounds funny, but most of the architects I interviewed were not really listening to us. When I talked with Eric though, the conversation was completely different. I felt an instant connection with him and I knew immediately he was the right person to take our ideas and make them a reality.
>
> We love, love the design and think the world of Eric.
>
> One day, I will build my house and give you all the virtual tour:)

## Community Q&A

**Q: Who is the supplier of the metal siding?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am considering it, for my home.
