He was able to use my vision and ideas and translate them into a beautiful home design. His design included ideas that I didn't know I wanted!! I highly recommend Scott and his team. **★★★★★ — HU-856295496, Dec. 2019** > We are very happy with the design services from Scott and his team on our free standing pool house (She Cave) They understood the unique code requirements of Cocoa Beach and we’re patient with us when we changed the layout that required a resubmit to the building department. We plan on commissioning them to design a 2nd story addition to our one story home in the very near future. **★★★★★ — HU-208672833, Nov. 2019** > We had a project for a decent size garage to attach to the house. There were some constraints that had to be worked around. We had some design ideas in mind and Scott and his team executed our ideas perfectly. We uncovered more constraints as the project progressed and Scott was able to add these into the design with minimal difficulties. Scott and his team brought tremendous value to the project. We are very happy with the final outcome. **★★★★★ — William Claunch, Nov. 2019** > Looking to add a garage on to my home was more difficult that I thought!! Scott was the 3rd individual that I contacted on drawing up a set of plans & it couldn’t of worked out any better, working with him & one of his ‘team members’ Chris, together they completed a set of plans that will build exactly what I was looking for , with some suggestions of their own added in, it’s going to look awesome once completed. Trust me, whether you an experienced in building / design work or a total novice like me, you can’t go wrong with Scott & his crew at Armistead Design & Drafting. They’re amazing at what they do, start to finish.. **Comment from Armistead Design & Drafting:** > Rip, > Thank you so much for the amazing review. I was a pleasure working on the details of your garage addition. We look forward to seeing the completed project some day! **★★★★★ — Brian Adams, Nov. 2019** > We are acting as Owner Builder for the first time as we build our house. Scott and his staff were instrumental in helping us bring our dream house into reality. He has a gift for seeing the client’s vision, making enhancements which complement their dream, and working with them until all parties have a product they can be proud of. > > We truly enjoyed working with Armistead Design & Drafting. We would highly recommend Scott to anyone in need of an architect. > > Brian and Ellen Adams **Comment from Armistead Design & Drafting:** > Thank you so much for your review Brian, It was a pleasure working with you guys. So excited to see your dream coming to fruition! **★★★★★ — Becky Oostdyk, Nov. 2019** > Scott sat down with us personally to review our ideas on house plans. He was genuinely excited to hear about our plans, gave us some interesting suggestions for using unconventional/non-traditional building methods, and he helped us get our plans ready for review. He also worked closely with the structural engineer to make sure there wouldn't be delays in getting the prints ready. We appreciate his creative thinking, attention to detail, and quick turnaround time. We would highly recommend Armistead Design & Drafting! **Comment from Armistead Design & Drafting:** > Thank you for the wonderful review Becky! It was a genuine pleasure working with you guys. **★★★★★ — HU-818344795, Nov. 2019** > This team did an incredible job designing our home! Their communication was incredible, from start to finish. We are about to move into a home that was extremely well designed and that required great skill because of the lot configuration. We couldn’t be more pleased!!! Thank you, Armistead Design and Drafting! **★★★★★ — Doyle Holdings & Investments LLC, Nov. 2019** > Have worked with this company on numerous houses for blue prints and designs. Great to work with and very responsive! Pricing was very reasonable **★★★★★ — The Hospitality Creator, Nov. 2019** > Scott and his team drew up our dream home plans! Wonderful group to work with, extremely helpful with this process we knew nothing about! They had lots of insight and helped guide us through the process. We highly recommend them. Our house is being built and it’s so great to see the plans Scott and his team helped us with come to life! **★★★★★ — Robert Sigman, Nov. 2019** > Scott helped us with a major, head to toe, remodel of a 6200 square foot house. We remodeled everything under the Sun including demolition of certain areas to rebuilding of other areas. Scott planned out everything and worked with us, contractors and subcontractors, engineers, etc., and was really the person to pull everything together. We don't consider him "a guy" we work with, we consider him a friend. He answers every question day and night and was useful and getting us connected with experts in all different areas from drywall to concrete. We interviewed probably 10 engineers and Scott was the Clear Choice. I highly recommend Scott. **★★★★★ — Matthew Pollock, Nov. 2019** > Scott and the team at Armistead Design helped guide me through a massive top-to-bottom renovation of a mid-century Florida dream home. Their expertise in combining design aesthetic with functional utility is greatly appreciated. The team went above and beyond and even helped manage engineering that allowed us to bring the plans to life. Scott's knowledge of local building code, and stellar reputation with the city, is super valuable. This is a company you can trust, and I highly recommended them for any project. **★★★★★ — Shoreline Interiors, April 2017** > Armistead Design & Drafting handles all the drafting needs for my Interior Design firm. Scott's professionalism, knowledge and efficiency make every project go over with ease. I would highly recommend him for all your project's drafting needs. **Comment from Armistead Design & Drafting:** > Thank you for the wonderful review Ashley! It has always been a pleasure working with you as well. Your workable knowledge, demeanor, and skill make our work so much easier! ## Selected projects - [Cocoa Beach Large Scale Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cocoa-beach-large-scale-remodel-pj-vj~2217560) - Location: Cocoa Beach, FL - Photos: 10 - Description: This client loves the Islands, and wanted to remodel this Banana River waterfront home in a Caribbean style.

Our favorite exterior element in this house is the locally sourced Coquina Rock which was integrated into the design on the column bases, and the exterior fireplace. It was a genuine pleasure to merge the Old Florida Plantation style, with the modern take on the Florida Vernacular exterior. Barn Light Electric Co. did a fantastic job with both the interior and exterior lighting, and Suzanne Guyton Design deserves all the credit for the interior d… - [Merritt Island Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/merritt-island-custom-home-pj-vj~5961383) - Location: Merritt Island, FL - Photos: 5 - Description: Full Custom Home blending Contemporary Bones with West Indies subtleties.

The only parts of the original house that remain are a couple sections of exterior wall, and most of the foundation. This house has an absolutely fantastic view of the sunset: including coconut palms, Indian River Islands, and pool reflections. The locally sourced dead-wood pine floors are absolutely beautiful, and complement the tropical/nautical interior design scheme well. We love… - [Florida Craftsman Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/florida-craftsman-custom-pj-vj~5961412) - Location: Cocoa Beach, FL - Photos: 2 - [Brevard County Split Level Midcentury With Modern Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brevard-county-split-level-midcentury-with-modern-details-pj-vj~5961423) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [River View Addition/Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-view-addition-remodel-pj-vj~2169294) - Location: Rockledge, FL - Photos: 23 - Description: AD&D designed this large scale addition & remodel in 2012.

The clients wanted a contemporary/modern style home with a Polynesian blue tile curved roof. They also wanted a unique staircase. This is one trick roof! It has four pitch breaks and the rear of the house is curved, which causes the ridge line to slope. We've never encountered a sloping ridgeline anywhere else in all our years of home design. The staircase starts near the front door and curves to the right, almost 180 deg. before it curves… - [Cocoa Beach Tropical](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cocoa-beach-tropical-pj-vj~2121840) - Location: Merritt Island, FL - Photos: 3 - Description: AD&D Designed this Cocoa Beach Custom Home in 2010. We had a large influence on the floor plan, the front elevation, and the cupola in particular. The tropical style fits well in this barrier island riverfront neighborhood; and the large and small details compliment the asymmetrical design nicely. One of the most interesting features of this design is that the landing at the top of the stairs is actually a bridge. We find an abstract beauty and elegance to the complex, and asymmetrical framing n… - [Space Coast Canal Home Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/space-coast-canal-home-addition-pj-vj~2188354) - Location: Merritt Island, FL - Photos: 6 - Description: This single sun room addition was designed by AD&D in 2015 for a central Merritt Island home. We designed the conventionally framed roof with a load bearing ridge beam to maximize the volume; and create a nostalgic old Florida feel in this space. We love the knotty pine ceiling, and the seamless integration to the pool area through the triple slider. The addition nicely compliments the newly renovated house; and provides beautiful views down the canal of Sykes Creek, and Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuar… - [Beach Observation Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-observation-deck-pj-vj~2122003) - Location: Cocoa Beach, FL - Photos: 8 - [Stock Plan \#1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stock-plan-1-pj-vj~2135051) - Location: Merritt Island, FL - Photos: 7 - Description: The construction plans for this beautiful contemporary Floridian 1722 sq.ft. home are available for purchase.
