We especially enjoyed collaborating on the Senoia Farmhouse renovation. We always appreciate the opportunity to make tangible the outstanding designs that this company creates. This combination of world class design and effective project management make HC a unique value in the marketplace for those seeking professional architectural services. **★★★★★ — Leigh Olive Mowry-Olive Interiors, April 2015** > I was fortunate enough to collaborate with Historical Concepts on a couple of jobs. I have never met a more talented, professional and gracious team. Jim Strickland is an architectural genius. The amazing group of architects that he has assembled is truly unmatched. I can't recommend this firm enough! **Comment from Historical Concepts:** > Thank you, Leigh. Your interior design has certainly injected a sense of whimsy and exuberance to the projects we have collaborated on. And, thank you for recognizing Jim! As our founder, Jim Strickland has been an inspiring mentor, sharing his passion and developing the young talent in our firm for the past 3 decades. His vision of a firm that will sustain through the generations is now being realized through them. We now have four studios, each led by a principal in the firm - all designing beautiful homes for amazing clients across the country! **★★★★★ — Morgan-Keefe Builders, Inc., Jan. 2015** > Morgan-Keefe Builders has enjoyed the team working relationship with the team at Historical Concepts...they make our job easier with the completeness of their drawings and the interaction during construction...we give them a tarheel thumbs up!!! **★★★★★ — Hooten Land Design, Inc., Nov. 2013** > As a landscape architect, it has been my pleasure to work with Historical Concepts on numerous projects for many years. Historical Concepts has a great awareness of the importance of collaborating with other design professionals to create a team that benefits the owner. They do a wonderful job of positioning their structures on the site and meshing with the existing and proposed landscape. Historical Concepts has a true understanding of the creation of a sense of place with all of their designs. **★★★★★ — John Bynum Custom Homes, Inc., Sept. 2013** > I have had the pleasure of building 5 homes designed by Historical Concepts. Their attention to each detail, functionality of design, and the authenticity of each individual project has spoiled me. My team and I look forward to every Historical Concepts project that we are asked to participate in. I have had the opportunity to work with the majority of their staff, from owners and partners, associates and interns. Each member is as talented as the next. I continue to be impressed by their creativity, range of style, and level of professionalism. They are a sharp bunch! **★★★★★ — Atlantic Archives, Inc., June 2013** > As a photographer, it is a always a great pleasure to work on Historical Concepts projects. > Their attention to detail and the over all design quality makes my job rewarding and enriching. **★★★★★ — Colleen Fitzpatrick, Feb. 2013** > Historical Concepts helped to design the development in which we're building. River Dunes has a strong design aesthetic. We wanted to work with an architect who would understand that aesthetic, so we engaged Historical Concepts to design our house and separate garage with apartment (carriage house). We have been extremely pleased, not only with the outcome, but with the process as well. We live at a distance from Historical Concepts, but they have been strong on communication, and have been very responsive to all our requests and inputs. > > The carriage house is nearly complete, and work will commence soon on the main house. We could not be more pleased with the design of our house, as well as how it works in relation to the larger community. ## Selected projects - [Southern Living Idea House - Farmhouse Renovation, Senoia, Georgia](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southern-living-idea-house-farmhouse-renovation-senoia-georgia-pj-vj~216823) - Location: Senoia, GA - Photos: 14 - Description: 2012 Southern Living Idea House Continuing its relationship with both the small town of Senoia, Georgia, and Southern Living, Historical Concepts provided architecture for the magazine's 2012 Idea House - its first ever historic renovation project.
