He helped us find a contractor in a market where it is very tough to find someone who isn't swamped, and then he checked in on the progress of the construction along way. We had a couple of glitches with our fireplace and he worked with the contractor to get that resolved. **★★★★★ — lapaza, Dec. 2016** > Brent is a talented architect and a joy to work with. He is very accessible, his prices are reasonable, and he works at your pace. > > A true artist, with the abilities and skills to understand the complexities of engineering a sustainable home, he is creating an aesthetic living environment for me that works hand-in-hand with nature. > > The home will take full advantage of its directional axis, allowing it to benefit from the sun's heat during the cooler months, and still maintain coolness during the warmer months. From this design, the by-product of light, airyness, and simplicity take form. This is a smart way to build in today's world. > > I am very happy with the direction the house plans are taking, and look forward to sharing the final results in this coming year. > Gail **★★★★★ — Curtis Johnson, Dec. 2016** > I've had the oppotunity to work with William Brent Swain, and his company, Sustainable Architecture, for over two years, and I find him to be a great architect as well as a person of fine character. Brent has been very helpful to our organization in the planning of our new building. I was appointed to lead the construction committee and to recommend the better bid for the project. Brent have advised us and we find him to very knowledgeable... He has kept us in budget...I highly recommend Mr. Swain and his company for anyone's building project **★★★★ — David Allen, Dec. 2016** > We worked with Brent on an addition to our house. We started with a rough draft diagram using a free iPad architecture app. Brent used that as the starting point and carried it through to the full design taking into consideration sustainability. He was easy to work with and did a good job. **★★★★★ — Emily Fox, Dec. 2016** > We really enjoyed working with Brent. He helped create a vision for our master bedroom suite. We are very satisfied with the results. He incorporated many features which gave us light, energy efficiency and more which we could not have done on our own. We appreciated his professionalism, knowledge and ability to build what we needed. ## Selected projects - [Residential Interior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/residential-interior-pj-vj~2443647) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Energy Efficient Home Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/energy-efficient-home-design-pj-vj~2295842) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~1560539) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Interiors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interiors-pj-vj~1560549) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Decks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decks-pj-vj~1560550) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Design Services](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/design-services-pj-vj~1953944) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Parsons, TN Project Preliminary Sketches](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/parsons-tn-project-preliminary-sketches-pj-vj~2191165) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/sustainable-architecture-pllc-w-brent-swain-ncarb-pfvwus-pf~437789426) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52218797/list/wish-list) — 4 ideas [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/wbswain) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
