I have been fortunate to work with him over the last 20 years. His designs inspire those fortunate to inhabit the spaces he creates. **★★★★★ — Berkley Hall Construction, LLC, Dec. 2017** > David brilliantly redesigned our beach house. We had open minds going into a full renovation but he opened our eyes to possibilities we didn't see! We want to spend every weekend at the beach now. Stepping into our new home is like walking into a beautiful spa- it is hard to believe it's the same home. We love David's design and his assistance throughout the project was indispensible. He kept a sharp eye to be sure the plan was done perfectly. We can happily say that it was! **★★★★★ — John Gaines, Sept. 2017** > Mr Lisle was a pleasure to work with. Very professional with the right mix of creativity and savvy to make our project an architectural masterpiece. Everyone who comes to our house comments on how beautiful the design is. The attention to detail, mixed with the down to earth cost control made this a very pleasant experience. I can highly recommend Mr Lisle to anyone who is thinking of hiring an architect.. **★★★★★ — Joseph Breault, Sept. 2017** > We have been fortunate enough to have had multiple opportunities to work with Lisle Architectural and Design. As a municipality, our parameters and budgets are somewhat restricted. In every instance, Mr. David Lisle and his staff have excelled at providing meaningful suggestions during the design process, working with our contractors during the construction process and offering meaningful and beneficial advice throughout the process. > I cannot rate the professionalism, courtesy, knowledge and support Lisle and Associates offer highly enough. Given my forty plus years experience, I would rate them as being one or two firms I have worked with. **★★★★★ — User, Sept. 2015** > Having worked with David and his team on numerous occasions I have been very impressed with his ability to not only create pleasing architectural designs that meet and exceed the clients desires but to also turn them into well constructed and functional homes. They provide a high level of detail and are able to articulate that detail through their plans and renderings is what makes working with David so special. David and his team's enthusiasm and commitment to each project as well as his expertise in the construction process make him a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Janece Stone, April 2014** > We have had the pleasure to work with Lisle Architecture for both personal projects and business related projects. In every case David and his team deliver excellent results. Many years back Lisle architecure redesigned our personal residence for an extensive addition, which turned out better than I could have imagined. More recently David designed a new (Dream Home) for us that fit our lot perfectly. Throughout the building process, David helped us make critical design decisions and was always available to answer a multitude of questions. Building a new home is stressful and David Lisle and his staff just made the whole process seamless. All we had to do was verbalized our vision and David created exactly what we were dreaming of. **★★★★★ — Pete Caldwell, March 2014** > Lisle Architecture did an incredible job designing our beach house. David and his team designed in all of our wishes and was able to forecast the actual cost within a few percentage points. We would recommend him to anyone and plan on using him for a remodel on our primary home. **★★★★★ — Bernard Robichau, March 2014** > David's architectural and Ashley's design services are second to none. My wife and I started out with a big challenge for David (to turn the eyesore of the neighborhood into a place that we would be happy to call home), and he rose to the occasion and then some. The work product was second-to-none, and we keep coming back with new projects whenever we have a need. > > Ashley was a delight to work with as we gutted our living/dining/kitchen area, and she helped us create a space that our family loves to spend time in. > > The team at Lisle Architecture and Design is the best in town, and we can't recommend them highly enough! ## Selected projects - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~2276700) - Location: Durham, NC - Photos: 8 - Description: Parade of Homes Gold Winner This 7,500 modern farmhouse style home was designed for a busy family with young children.

Though the first round was put on hold, they came back with more ideas and greater sense of what they wanted in a home. This is the quintessential contemporary take on a traditional cedar shake residence. Reminiscent of homes in New England and the Hamptons, the house provides sweeping views from almost any room, a private master suite, a chef’s kitchen, and a bon… - [Stately Steward](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stately-steward-pj-vj~15338) - Location: Wilmington, NC - Photos: 6 - [Ocean Ridge Redo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ocean-ridge-redo-pj-vj~2276373) - Location: Wilmington, NC - Photos: 6 - Description: Built-in the mid-1980’s this house screamed renovation from the start. Situated in a private cul-de-sac along the intracoastal waterway, the interior of this house was in dire need of a renovation. We gutted the entire first floor of the home, maintaining only the stairways and entries and demoed most of the second and third as well. The end result has windows focused to the water, a large open concept living/ dining/ kitchen area and private bedroom suites. A new pool with outdoor grilling area… - [Modern Marvel - Figure Eight Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-marvel-figure-eight-island-pj-vj~2544554) - Location: Wilmington, NC - Photos: 5 - Description: A modern beach house designed for a busy family as a vacation home, this residence is all about the wow factor.

A: It's IPE siding but there are composite materials you can use for the same look that do not require sealing. **Q: Review of Impact Quartz for countertop** *(in Kitchens)* Hi, I'm considering Impact Quartz (https://impactquartz.com) - Carrarra Cloud for my kitchen countertop. Has anyone installed Impact Quartz? What's your opinion of it vs other brands of Quartz? A: Did you end up installing Impact Quartz? **Q: Board and Batten Siding Type** *(in Photo Questions)* What type of board and batten was used? Hardie board or pieced together? Was it prefinished color or painted? Thanks..looks awesome. A: It was Hardie board and it was pre-primed and then painted on site. Thanks! **Q: Are the windows double hung or casement?** *(in Photo Questions)* We are building a similar style board and batten and are told to go with casement due to our more extreme weather and wind. I’m trying to find our farmhouse look pics with the casement. A: This house has a mix of casement, fixed, and double hung. We do a lot of work in high wind coastal zones and double hung works fine - the window manufacturer is the biggest thing to worry about. **Q: Love these doors! Can you tell me the brand?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Trustile **Q: Is this new construction or a remodel of the exterior? Thx** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It's new construction. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-05.*
