From our initial conversation to our home’s completion, Sarah was dedicated to working with us and our builder to provide a home that met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Her passion for natural light can be seen in every room of our home. She fought hard to convince me I needed a window in the laundry room and it is one of my favorites! It is the little surprises like this that have made me fall in love with my home over and over again. Sarah was patient with me and my husband as we asked questions and made changes during pre-construction. And she was unwavering in her commitment to our project even after the drawings were finished and we were in construction. > > Sarah actively listened to the needs and wishes of our family and brought an expertise that was invaluable. I love recommending h design whenever I can. If we are to build another home, Sarah will be my first call. **Comment from h design:** > Thank you so so much!! It was truly daunting when you candidly told me you guys had very different ideas on style, but it was such a payoff to deliver a design that you both loved! AND you sold me on curves :) Mutually beneficial!! Loved working with you and absolutely love the finished product. Photographs soon! **★★★★★ — Courtney Johnson, May 2020** > We have been working with h design for the past year and Sarah has been amazing. Sarah really took every single detail into account when she was designing our house so that the end product was not only beautiful but very functional based on our family and our lifestyle. She has been a pleasure to work with and has made herself available throughout the entire building process, ensuring a seamless build. Most importantly, the design of our home is exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend h design and Sarah Harper. **★★★★★ — Susan Evans, May 2020** > From our first meeting, we knew Sarah was not only a talented architect, but also would serve as the perfect partner in creating an overall vision for our new home. Her work doesn't stop with her drawings. She has been very responsive and intimately involved throughout the design and construction process. There is so much more than we imagined about the building or remodeling process and we have reaped the rewards of her knowledge. Her attention to detail gives us great peace of mind. We cannot recommend Sarah more highly. **★★★★★ — Lindsay Murray, July 2018** > We don’t even know where to start with Sarah! From day one, all the way through the final project completion, she has been absolutely amazing to work with. Her designs are beautiful and practical and she is always coming up with great ideas for what your specific wants/needs are. When we were overwhelmed by options, she helped guide us and provide knowledgeable input around the details of home design to help us make the best decisions. She was always available to us and her communication was great. We are so happy with our project, truly loved working with Sarah and would highly recommend her to anyone. **★★★★★ — Alair Homes Plano, Oct. 2017** > Our team loves working with Sarah and we have many times over the last few years! We have a staff of designers and do all of our own interior floor plan design, interior design and selections. When we work on additions, new homes and other new buildings, we ask Sarah to step in and work with our team and our clients on the design. She works seamlessly with our team and our clients. Her values and goals align with our company's perfectly. She is interested in achieving the best outcome for the client and will listen intently to their wants, needs and budget. She is not only very talented, but will give clients honest feedback about ideas and will work tirelessly to help them identify alternate ideas in an effort to find the best solution. We have and will continue to refer her to anyone that needs a professional Architect. Thanks for all your hard work Sarah! **★★★★★ — Chrissy Healey, Dec. 2016** > Sarah is one of those unique people where you look back at working with her and think, "wow, that could not have gone better." We went into the process wanting a view and more space, but with some things we did not like about the current house (small laundry, small master closet, no office, not large enough kitchen). We had no expectation that Sarah could imagine an addition and remodel that would change our house to meet every one of our family's needs. But she did. She is creative, she listens, she follows-through. She worked with our builder throughout the process, without charging us by the hour like many other architects do. The remodel and addition exceeded our expectations. **★★★★★ — nancyqgriswold, April 2016** > It is a pleasure to work with such a creative skilled architect. She spent a great deal of time making sure the design would work for us. Her follow through and help during the construction phase has been greatly appreciated. It is going to be a great house when construction is completed and our neighbors love it too. **★★★★★ — Carrie Hatfield Interior Design, Feb. 2016** > I am an interior designer here in Dallas. My husband and I hired Sarah to help us with an extensive renovation of a very dated house for our personal use. I loved working with her every step of the way. She really listened and supported my whole design concept and guided me on that path. I really appreciated her work ethic in understanding our timeline and being flexible for how quickly we were needing the plans completed. > Sarah brought her knowledge of architecture and design as an important part of our team for this project. I highly recommend her...! **★★★★★ — kmportega, Feb. 2015** > Sarah has been absolutely wonderful to work with from the very beginning. In addition to her amazing ideas and professionalism, I am most impressed by Sarah's desire and ability to merge the preferences of both me and my husband who have different styles in many ways. She is incredibly responsive, creative and just an overall wonderful person. I feel so lucky to been introduced to Sarah and have given her name to several people I know who are looking to build or substantially renovate a home. She is the absolute best! **Comment from h design:** > Thank you, Kristin! It has been a pleasure working with you as well! I sincerely appreciate your kind words - I do make it a priority to seek out solutions that can meet everyone's wants & wishes in as much as possible. Thanks again for the review and referrals! **★★★★★ — Sarah Foley, Sept. 2014** > We hired Sarah Harper of H design as the architect for our new home and have been beyond pleased with the excellent quality of her work. Her extreme attention to detail, adherence to the budget, ability to work well with the builder we selected, and the creativity and ingenuity she brought to this project provided us with our dream home. As first-time home builders, this project seemed daunting, yet Sarah helped break down the many decisions into manageable pieces and provided invaluable insight throughout the project. She was a vital liaison between us and our builder, providing thoughtful design details to work within builder parameters, and often providing the builder with ideas and material selections that were better and unknown to him. Our builder enjoyed working with Sarah on our project so much, he has since asked her to work with him on several more, and has incorporated some of her superior material selections into his ongoing projects. Working with H Design was the best part of building our new home. **★★★★★ — Tiffany Au, Aug. 2014** > It has been a pleasure working with Sarah on our first home! She was professional, yet approachable, and she took the time to explain each and every step of her work so that we could understand the whole process. > > As first time home buyers, a complete home renovation project was quite the undertaking, but Sarah was able to jump into our lives and effortlessly design the home of our dreams! She was extremely responsive to our brief descriptions of what we would like to see in our home, and her keen eye for modern design with a nod to the classic craftsman style restored our craftsman home to beyond its former glory. > > Her designs were efficient and detailed, and she gave us the flexibility to splurge or be as cost effective as we wanted. As young professionals, working with Sarah was a breeze because she was so flexible and able to meet with us anytime that fit our crazy work schedules. > > Most importantly, we believe Sarah is a great listener and excellent communicator. Between speaking with Sarah and several general contractors bidding on a project, she always picked up on design choices that were important to us what an eye towards staying on budget. Having to completely gut and rebuild most of our home, it is now an honor for us to own a house designed by Sarah. **★★★★★ — kristenstratton, Nov. 2013** > Sarah Harper, the owner of h design, is a smart, inventive and creative architect, graphic designer and business owner. I have collaborated with her on several projects of differing fields and her view on design is refreshing. Coupled with the fact she stays ahead of the curve in industry software, building information modeling, makes her a well-rounded and thorough professional. She's great and I promise you won't be disappointed! ## Selected projects - [Tumbleweed Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tumbleweed-custom-home-pj-vj~6669282) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 30 - Description: This new home was built on an old lot in Dallas, TX in the Preston Hollow neighborhood.
