He cares about the client that he designs for and the designers that he works with. He is easy to talk with and listens to what you must have and would like to have in your projects. I would recommend Bert and look forward to working with him on future projects. > > Debbie McHale of Interior Transformations www.interiortrans.com. **★★★★★ — pnharrison, May 2013** > The main reasons I chose to go with Roberts Architects was Bert's enthusiasm and willingness to provide as much or as little support as I wanted. He also provided a good overview of the cost and effort breakdown which gave me a good sense for how things would progress. I think most people want to feel that their architect has a creative mind and also a sense of practicality and will not force their vision on you, but instead will adapt it to what you want. Bert made it clear that he was customer focused. As the design progressed, I think his ability to flexibly adapt some initially "wild" concepts to practical ideas was great and I couldn't be happier with the results. Hiring Roberts Architects was easily the best decision that I made while having my house built. **Comment from Roberts Architects:** > It is always exciting to have the opportunity to work on a brand new house. This project was really special, because the site for that house was just spectacular. I hope you continue to love every day in your new home. Thank you for the wonderful review. **★★★★★ — jrtapdance, May 2013** > Roberts Architects took a mundane home office and play room remodel and turned it into something spectacular. With their state-of-the-art 3D architectural drawings, I was able to see exactly what the finished product would look like before construction began. The end result: a home office that I look forward to going to every morning. And, my kids love their new space! I can't wait to work with them again soon should we embark on a bigger home remodel and I highly recommend them for anyone looking for an architect for new construction on down to the smallest design project. **Comment from Roberts Architects:** > Your project was an exciting one to work on. I loved having the chance to work on something in Los Angles, and it was great to really get involved with the details in making the space work for your program. Thank you for the review. **★★★★★ — jmp44444, May 2013** > Roberts Architects took a mundane home office remodel and turned it into something spectacular.

We hired him to re-design our existing waterfront home for a top-to-bottom renovation. He was extremely easy to work with and his input was really helpful in the design and decision making process. Now that we are living in our gorgeous new home, it's hard to believe that all of that work and effort has developed into something so amazing. It's not only our dream home, but it's better than we ever imagined it would be! **Comment from Roberts Architects:** > This was a fantastic project to be a part of. I loved working closely with the clients, and the contractor, to bring reality to this new waterfront home. **★★★★★ — User, May 2013** > I am a residential interior designer who has had the privilege of working with Bert on a few renovation projects. His vision for rooms is spot on and he helps clients think about their spaces in new ways. He works very hard to bring a client's vision to life but also encourages them to consider better options when they make sense for the space. He's clear, easy to talk to and thorough. Your project and your home will be better for working with him. ## Selected projects - [Forest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-pj-vj~581097) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: A modern kitchen and sunroom - [Kitchen with Wooded View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-with-wooded-view-pj-vj~266011) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Curved Sitting Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curved-sitting-room-pj-vj~242398) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Chesapeake View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chesapeake-view-pj-vj~242419) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Screen Porch in the Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screen-porch-in-the-woods-pj-vj~242350) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [A Treehouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-treehouse-pj-vj~12437) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: The clients desired a new more functional kitchen, as well as to open up the spaces of their home, increase their view of the woods, and brighten the interior. This was accomplished in three ways: 1) Removal of the walls which divide an existing 3-Season room from the kitchen and dining - thus forming one large space (see plans below) 2) New skylights and elongated skylight wells 3) Pushing the back of the house closer to the woods, enlarging the kitchen, and increasing the size and number of wi… - [Crossing Gables](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crossing-gables-pj-vj~12423) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This West Virginia home is situated on a 25% slope with a stunning view. The owner wanted an open design that would allow every major room to have a view. Crossing gables and the stepping of the house in both plan and elevation, add much interest to the appearance. 3D modeling was used extensively in the creation of this house. - [Bath of Angles](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bath-of-angles-pj-vj~12432) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: The repeat clients had the goals of a walk-in doorless shower, two sink vanity, display areas, and natural light. Roberts Architects used 3D modeling to explain concepts, and capture the hearts of the owners. - [Contemporary Additions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-additions-pj-vj~12433) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The goals were simple: Add a new, larger, bright entrance way, make a 2 car garage into a 4 car garage, and make these additions integrate with the existing house. - [Ceiling of Glass](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ceiling-of-glass-pj-vj~12434) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The Clients desired a larger shower, and two sinks, and more closet space. Roberts Architects was able to almost double hanging space in the closet. The bedroom was oversized and had a cathedral ceiling. By projecting the shower into the bedroom, the clients were able to realize their goals. - [LA Studio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/la-studio-pj-vj~12435) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: A husband and wife pair of studios in LA California. - [Bright Master Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bright-master-suite-pj-vj~12436) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: The repeat clients had a north facing, dim master bedroom suite, with only a sliding glass door to the private wooded view. Their goal was more natural light into the bedroom and bathroom, a more interesting ceiling to the room, and a better view of the woods. - [New Workspace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-workspace-pj-vj~12438) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The owners desired a new workspace and pantry to be located next to the kitchen of their historic home.

What is the color called? A: Thank you for your question. The tile we used is from Villi Glass. It is their glossy, unicolor field tile in lavender ordered in 4 x 24's, 4 x 12's and 1x16's. They were cut to also make 4 x4's and 4 x 8's. Hope this helps and good luck with your project. \- Bert C. Roberts III **Q: Hello - Where did you find the bracket? Thank you.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The clients wanted a solution that would not be too visible, but would still be attractive if/when seen. It was somewhat of a process to create this bracket, but well worth it. 1\) The bracket pictured was designed by me, using 3d renderings to get the look that I wanted. 2\) The contractor mocked up a template of the bracket out of plywood and took it to his custom steel fabricator. 3\) The steel fabricator calculated the thickness of the flange of the arch segment that would be required, in order to support the weight of the granite vanity. 4\) We used (3) brackets to support the vanity, and produced the brackets in stainless steel to compliment the look of the exposed sink bowls and plumbing. I hope this helps. Good luck with your project. Thank you for the question. Bert C. Roberts III Roberts Architects **Q: What is the name of the name of the tile and trim? I love the look.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This project used DalTile. The contractor and the owner selected the actual tile. I was involved in the placement of the tie, the tile pattern, and the placement of the display niches in the wall (seen on other photos). Thank you for the compliment and question. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
