**★★★★★ — adamwood85, Feb. 2020**

> This is our second time building a home and we knew this go around we wanted to be a lot more intentional as we went through this process.  We could not have picked a better partner to help us journey through this endeavor of building our dream home.  Leah and her team at Watters Architecture, took what was a collection of different ideas and hopes in our head and masterfully made them come to life not just on paper but also the screen.  The ability to walk through our house 3D made a huge difference as we made important decisions.  Throughout the process we could feel the care and passion they had for our project as they wanted it to be as perfect as we did.  Their attention to detail and practicality made all the difference.  For us, this did not just stop with a set of plans, we had partners to walk with us through every phase of construction all the way to the punch list and final completion.  We could not be happier with our experience working with Watters Architecture and would highly recommend their expertise for your next project!

**★★★★★ — Ben Smith, Dec. 2019**

**★★★★★ — HU-787078526, Dec. 2019**

> What can I say about a company that made what could have been a nightmare a very pleasant experience?  What can I say about a company that did not laugh at my small budget?  What can I say about a company that listened and was able to include my ideals while offering some very good ones?  What can I say about a company that designed a house that will transition as I grow older? What can I say about a company that answered every message?What can I say about a company that went above and beyond what was outlined in the contract?  I say WOW! and thank you so very much.

  - Location: Pass Christian, MS

  - Description: Few lots remain on Pass Christian’s high ridge: Scenic Drive. Barrister’s Landing emerged as a home that honestly reflects its owner: warm, genuine, and esteemed. As the home took shape, it was natural for it to take on an uncomplicated form with refined details, and to nestle the heart of the home in the crook of the parti. While the double story balconies may grandly greet a visitor, the daily approach more aligns with the personality of the homeowner.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What color is the roof?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Roof color?  Thank you!

A: It's a galvanized standing seam metal roof, so the color is simply the raw galvanized color.

**Q: windows** *(in Photo Questions)*

This a beautiful home!  Which brand of windows were used and what is the exterior window color?

A: Thanks for your kind words. The windows are Marvin Elevate (formerly Marvin Integrity) and the exterior color is black. We love the windows because they are wood interior and  fiberglass exterior with a look about as beautiful as aluminum clad, but at a price almost comparable to PGT vinyl.

**Q: Color of Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color are the cabinets?

A: Black Evergreen by Behr. They’re even more beautiful in person! Cabinets are white oak

**Q: What is the wall color in the kitchen?** *(in Photo Questions)*

This kitchen is beautiful!

A: Thank you! 😊

**Q: what color did you use for the cabinets and the wall?** *(in Photo Questions)*

what color did you use for the cabinets and the wall? thanks in advance!

A: The walls are Benjamin Moore White Dove and the cabinets are Benjamin Moore Gray Owl

**Q: Dining room lighting** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes the lantern light fixture above the dining table? Thank you!

A: This fixture is by Flambeaux, the same company that makes great gas lanterns
