### All 3 reviews

**★★★★★ — Cate Black, April 2020**

> John is truly brilliant in the way he designs such unique spaces (from huge multi-million dollar homes to a small guest house) to serve the very individual needs of each home owner. As an architectural photographer, I have worked with my share of wonderful architects, and I have to say John is one of the top in the business. He is an absolute delight to work with (easy going but very detail oriented) and brilliant when it comes to custom designs. When I'm ready to build my dream home - John is going to be my first call!

**Comment from John West Stoddard & Associates:**

> Wow! Thank you for your review, Cate! You have worked with so many talented architects here in town, and as a Certified Building Designer myself I certainly hope to have many more cool projects for you to photograph in the future. You are such a talent and a pleasure to work with!

**★★★★★ — Loren Powell, May 2019**

> Working with John Stoddard is a gift to yourself. The end result of any project that he does is pure genius. His talent is extraordinary. Every detail and need that you have requested is seamlessly incorporated into a plan that somehow is perfectly you. His humbleness is unique in today's world. His humor a joy to be around. Choosing John Stoddard was an easy choice. I will do it again when we have another design project.

**★★★★★ — Melde Construction Company, March 2019**

> John combines the technical and relational skills of architecture that allows everyone involved to feel a sense of confidence and comfort in the project reaching its fullest potential. And most importantly, he is AWESOME to work with!

  - Description: Designed in 2015, the clients wanted a fresh feel to their newly purchased contemporary home. They asked for a wine cellar, a media room that could be closed off, and a food and beverage bar. Through much discussion it was decided to reuse the unused storage closet under the existing stairway for the wine cellar. This created an unusual and unexpected wine hub adjacent to the Kitchen. With the addition of a new fireplace and shelving, the once cold-feeling media room was transformed into a cozy…

  - Location: Austin, TX

  - Description: A renovation of a 1940s family home nestled in the quiet streets of Tarrytown, John West Stoddard & Associates developed a design that echos traditional homes of the past with a contemporary feel. The use of large steel windows in gridded divisions creates a harmonious rhythm to the fenestration, with the coffered ceilings mirroring the geometric pattern throughout the interior. A simple exterior of stucco, white painted brick, slate roof, copper gutters, and native Texan limestone creates a nic…
- [Madrone Guest House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/madrone-guest-house-pj-vj~5509203)
  - Location: Austin, TX
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: A simple yet refined palette of board formed concrete, native Texan limestone, steel, and floor to ceiling glass creates a dynamic contrast to the wooded surroundings of the guest house. An important feature to the design is the detached carport and its relationship to the guest house, creating a covered breezeway which is as functional as it is aesthetically important. The goal is to enhance and integrate the natural environment while maintaining privacy with the vertical louvered screen.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Curtain Wall and Roof/Ceiling** *(in Photo Questions)*

Stunning! Who manufactured the curtain wall? I love this look. But being in a hurricane zone in Florida, I’m wondering what my options would be. Also, is the roof CLT or something else? Thanks in advance!

A: Yes, that's correct.

**Q: Bathroom?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I see this beautiful building has a kitchen but does it also have a bath/powder room?

A: All of our projects are custom designs and we typically do not share construction drawings.  Please feel free to reach out through our website (www.jwstoddard.com) if you have any further questions or want to discuss a design project.  Thank you!

**Q: Where was the louvered barn door sourced?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I love the louvered barn door!  Where is it from?

A: I believe it was a custom door made in a local shop.  Feel free to contact Ford Strei Builders here in Austin.  They built it.  Glad you like it!

**Q: May I ask the height of the ceiling of this room.  Thank you!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is 13'-4" tall.  The kitchen ceiling is 10'-0" tall.  Hope this helps!
