He is passionate about architectural history, scale and proportion. When you drive around Winter Park, there is no mistaking his gorgeous houses. They always look timeless and perfectly tucked into the surrounding homes and lot size. One of the absolute best architects I know. **★★★★★ — Tami Dixon, June 2016** > Amazing Architect. When you drive through Winter Park you can spot a Gary Hancock Home, because it just looks as if it has always been there. Gary is an amazing Artist, Architect, Visionary and an all around nice guy. He "drew" our home in Windsong, he's not all about computer rendered images, he IS the real deal. **★★★★★ — LunDev Custom Homes, March 2016** > We really enjoy working closely with Gary at Winter Park Design. His work is timeless but also thought out. He is a go-to for us when looking for local architects that compliment our style of home building, vision and overall aesthetic. We value the partnership we've created and look forward to building more homes of his quality design. **★★★★★ — Darryl Hill, March 2016** > I have worked with Winter Park Design on several projects and have always received 1st class service. Gary gets back to me promptly and designs have always been produced in a short time span. Drawings are of the highest quality and detail. **★★★★★ — jfinfrock, June 2015** > Gary is meticulous, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. He worked with us to design our custom home and we are thrilled with the results. **★★★★★ — Pat Womack Interiors, June 2015** > Gary Hancock with Winter Park Design finished our design work (Coastal Spanish) in 2014. Gary is a very talented designer. Our home will be completed by the end of 2015. He worked with us patiently to complete a design that fit our unique needs and lifestyle and made it beautiful as well. We couldn't be more delighted! **★★★★★ — davidlbutler, June 2015** > Gary Hancock, AIA has designed the last two homes I've lived in. He is talented, very experienced and a pleasure to work with. He is a very skilled architect, extremely professional and has a sophisticated sense of upper-end residential style and design. > > Gary always delivers his work product on the dates agreed and his fees are always what he quotes. If there is any extra work he identifies that before undertaking the revision. There are no negative surprises with Gary...just pleasant ones as he translates your thoughts and wishes into a remarkable home. ## Selected projects - [Lake Berry Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-berry-residence-pj-vj~583918) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 8 - [Lake Lugano Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-lugano-residence-pj-vj~583916) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 8 - [Harding Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harding-residence-pj-vj~583893) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 8 - [Spanish Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-remodel-pj-vj~583911) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 5 - [Lake Maitland Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-maitland-residence-pj-vj~583883) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 5 - [Lake Mizell Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-mizell-residence-pj-vj~583912) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 7 - [Windsong Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/windsong-residence-pj-vj~583906) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 8 - [Twelve Oaks Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/twelve-oaks-residence-pj-vj~583908) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 7 - [Capri Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/capri-residence-pj-vj~583894) - Location: Winter Park, FL - Photos: 6 - [Brook Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brook-residence-pj-vj~583896) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Hayes Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hayes-residence-pj-vj~583887) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Lake Sue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-sue-residence-pj-vj~583875) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lake Osceola Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-osceola-residence-pj-vj~583879) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Mizell Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mizell-street-residence-pj-vj~721024) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Adaire Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/adaire-residence-pj-vj~719105) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Golden Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golden-residence-pj-vj~719158) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Lake Virginia Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-virginia-residence-pj-vj~719182) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Interlachen Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interlachen-residence-pj-vj~719164) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Bay Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bay-residence-pj-vj~720992) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Pennsylvania Resdence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pennsylvania-resdence-pj-vj~719209) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 41 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/building-designers-and-drafters/winter-park-design-pfvwus-pf~251890860) ## Community Q&A **Q: Chandeliers** *(in Photo Questions)* Please tell me where you bought the chandeliers? A: The chandeliers were selected by the owner in consultation with her interior decorator. Sorry I cannot be of more help. **Q: where did you get the bedspread ?? house looks great BTW** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for the comment. I was the Architect on the remodeling project and did not select the interior fabrics. The bedspread was most likely chosen by the owner. Sorry I cannot help. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
