Poore, Aug. 2024** > Allan at D+D Studio, LLC was amazing to partner with for my forever home plans. He listened to every idea and dream I had and brought it to life on my house plans. > > He was generous with the time he spent with me on various phone calls to make certain he knew what I wanted. He brought my vision to pass. I am sincerely grateful for the work he does and the expertise, professionalism and care behind his work. He is prompt to respond to any email or phone call. You can rest and have confidence, Allan and his team are highly skilled, trained and educated to accomplish any size project you have large or small. > > I would highly recommend Allan to anyone looking to receive high quality & one of a kind client service. **★★★★★ — Jay U, April 2024** > Allan is awesome! He provides great detailed drawings in a very timely manner. He was very responsive and reasonable when it came to any change orders. 10/10 would recommend! **★★★★★ — Courtney and Ryan Johnson, Aug. 2022** > We hired Allan to design our new home in Williamsburg, VA . He is easily accessible, extremely reliable, and very quick to respond. He has worked well with our builder changes and we even had several stages due to HOA regulations, and he worked with the changes that were required with great ease. He provided several drafts for input, and worked with us to incorporate any changes we wanted to make sure we got the plans for the home we always have wanted. We cannot wait to see the home built here soon and will highly recommend Allan to any one that needs his services with 110% confidence. **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Thank you Ryan and Courtney for the kind words. It was such a pleasure working with the two of you through this process. I look forward to coming to your housewarming party!! **★★★★★ — SMITHBUILT, July 2021** > We hired Allan to design a new construction house for us. We gave him some ideas of what we wanted and he brought it to life. One of the best things about working with Allan was hose easily accessible he was and how quickly he responded to us. We would definitely recommend using Allan and would use him again ourselves. Thank you Allan! **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Thank you Jason and Lauren for being such great and understanding clients through this process. I am so looking forward to seeing your home spring up soon and know you will love it for years to come! **★★★★★ — Alison Cooper, Aug. 2020** > D+D Studio completed a set of plans for a renovation and addition to my home. Allan first took the time to sit down with me to find out exactly what I wanted. My house is small, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all happen with a 308 sq. ft addition or how I wanted the new layout to look. I greatly appreciated Allan’s expertise and design ideas! He came up with an amazing plan that included a pantry, a new and improved full bath, a second full bath, a new hallway, 2 walk-in closets, 2 new linen closets, a desk area for my daughter, and a new master bedroom. Construction just started, and I'm excited to see the finished product in a few months. > Throughout the design process, Allan was very responsive. He had endless patience for all of my questions, answering each quickly and making changes and tweaks right away. He treated my plans as if they were his only project. He was a pleasure to work with. His professionalism and customer service can’t be beat. I highly recommend him! 5-Stars! **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Thank you so much Alison! It was such a pleasure working with you on your project and can't wait to see the finished results. **★★★★★ — Shaunte & Mike Whitlock, May 2020** > We started looking at house plans online and in various books. We came across one design that we both loved. We were considering figuring out how to buy the plans online. We figured that we may need some help in getting the plans modified so my husband looked for an architect. He found D+D Studio right here on Houzz. He was impressed with the photos, so we set up an initial meeting with Allan. > > We could tell from our first meeting that we would like working with him. He gave it to us straight and we didn’t feel like any of our questions were mundane or silly. He educated us on our request with the plans and of course, he said it could be done, but after hearing what that all really meant and things we had to consider, being that our property is near water, we decided to just go for it and get a completely custom designed home. > > He listened to our needs and we expressed that we wanted to make sure our house is designed to the point where there are no pointless areas or wasted space. We gave him our wish list and let him do his design magic. And that he did! It was amazing to see our requests translated into the design that he came up with. We definitely can’t wait to see our house when it is built. > > We appreciate Allan’s high level of customer service and his expertise. Being that this was our first house being built (and hopefully our last) we were nervous about the process but working with Allan has eased our mind. We were overwhelmed before we met him, and he helped to reduce that significantly. We feel like having him on our team helped us gain the peace of mind we need for something this big. > > He is definitely invited to the housewarming! **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > It means so much to hear you had a great experience working with us!! I've always had a desire to design a modern home and your project was the perfect opportunity. I know y'all will have such a wonderful life in your new home and I'll be checking the mail for your house warming party! **★★★★★ — HU-967380244, Dec. 2019** > Alan was great. Very professional and understood what me and my wife wanted. He designed our a master bath and also designed me a shed for the back yard. The thing that stood out is Alan provided more than one designed so that way we know exactly what our bathroom can look like > > Highly recommend before you do any design to your home contact Alan at D + D Studio so he can design the space for you. If you go with a contractor to build or remodel the contract can just go to work. > > No need to talk about designs anymore. > > Thanks Alan and really appreciate the professionalism and knowledge in your work. **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to us! **★★★★★ — Will Miller, Dec. 2019** > Asked a few people for recommendations for an architect, as we were looking to build a new deck. Found Allan through a trusted friend. Checked his references and past projects, done. Prompt, courteous, and diligent. Met onsite, spent approximately an hour with him, throwing ideas, and requests. Received the plans and can’t wait for weather to change. His pricing is more than fair. You won’t be disappointed! Pics to be uploaded once completed. Thanks Allan! **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Your deck was such a fun project to work on. Most architects wouldn't work on a deck design because it's too small, but I created my company to work on all kinds of jobs for anyone needing our services. Can't wait to see the pics! **★★★★★ — HU-72148987, April 2019** > I was very fortunate to have found Allan. He was very clear on the phone, was early to our first meeting, and is very professional in his demeanor. He helped me design a rather involved home addition and I couldn’t be happier with his attention to detail, and his ability to interpret my desire for the new space. Of course, he is also an expert on the technical side of his craft as his drawings and specs are very detalied. I highly recommend him for projects big or small. **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Thank you for your kind words and love seeing your project coming along. It's always a pleasure working with a great client! **★★★★★ — Judson Clements, April 2019** > Great designer, fast, affordable, and easy to get along with. He did a design for the second story of my Business, turned it around in 2 weeks :) **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Drove by your building the other day, and it looks great!! Glad I could be a part of the process and give you everything you needed to expand your business! **★★★★★ — Rich Pope, Jan. 2019** > Allan is a dedicated professional that produced a set of plans beyond our wildest expectations. Throughout the entire process, he maintained excellent communications and offered suggestions/alternatives that assisted us in deciding how to design our home. He was able to take our sometimes vague desires and turn them into exactly what we were trying to describe. Allan was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — Bo Foley, Dec. 2018** > Allan came through in a pinch on a compressed timetable with a far superior product than what we were dealing with previously. A very positive interaction from the start. Can't recommend them enough. **Comment from D+D Studio LLC:** > Glad to be able to help you get through your dilemma with your other designer. Wasn't the easiest design, but we enjoy the challenge! ## Selected projects - [Pope Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pope-residence-pj-vj~5553870) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 5 - Description: D+D Studio, LLC wants to introduce you to our new premier home design!!!
