The latest was a full exterior renovation "face lift" for a two-story, five bedroom house in Midtown Atlanta (Ansley Park). Bryan and his team transformed a tired-looking and poorly-renovated facade into a very attractive, authentic Craftsman home. Bryan was onsite frequently and made sure the GC's execution of the design was done well throughout the entire project. Neighbors and visitors have commented very positively, and it's a pleasure every morning to walk outside and every evening to come back from work to this handsome home. **Comment from Jones Pierce Studios:** > Thank you for your kind words Ben. It has been a pleasurable adventure working on your 3 homes over the years. **★★★★★ — savedbyjc92, April 2017** > Bryan designed a massive backyard project for our home. What began as a builders screened porch and a lot of pine straw was transformed into a beautiful retreat. Bryan paid such attention to detail and listened so well that he created something beyond our expectations. ( He even drew tables in the event we ever had one of our daughters weddings in the yard!). We recently sold our home and relocated to Athens, Georgia. Our home sold because the new owner fell in love with the back yard! We are hoping to have Bryan come give us some help with our new courtyard. It was a joy working with him. **Comment from Jones Pierce Studios:** > Thank you Laurie. When we use images of your backyard for inspiration for other clients we always get a good response. We are ready to come to Athens when you are! **★★★★★ — Cynthia Withrow, April 2017** > Jones Pierce did an amazing job designing and supervising a major renovation of our 1960s house. We interviewed several architects, and chose Bryan Jones because he carefully listened to our concerns and immediately came up with creative solutions and ideas. Our confidence in him was well placed, because the design for our house solved many problems, included everything on our wish list, and looks great. Construction can be stressful, but working with Jones Pierce was a pleasure throughout. We had regular meetings with the design team, and they were always accessible, responsive and professional. The house they designed for us is beautiful, functional, and is worlds better because of their creativity and attention to detail. **Comment from Jones Pierce Studios:** > Cindy it was a pleasure to work with you and Bill. Your house had inspired more mid-century styled work for us and we just entered your house in a national residential design competition for the window company we used for your home. We just got your images back from the photo shoot. We love this shot of the outdoor shower and "spool" **★★★★★ — WestPort Development LLC / Atlanta Basements, June 2016** > Our company Westport Development worked with Brian Jones and their team at Jones Pierce Architects and we cannot say enough good things about our exsperiance! > They helped our cliets design exactly what they wanted, on time, in budget, and were always their for us during the construction. > Looking forward to many more projects with Brian and his team! > Raymond **★★★★★ — GC Lewis, May 2016** > Bryan and his team did a wonderful job of working with us to bring our vision for our lake home to reality. I appreciate the time that his team spent coordinating with our builder to provide an objective opinion whenever I had questions about the building process. They have a great design style and I would highly recommend working with them. **★★★★★ — vtranovich, April 2015** > After doing much research on the architects in the atlanta area and several interviews, we chose Jones Pierce architects to build our lakehouse. Having never built a home before we were uncertain of what to expect. We had heard how painful the building process could be from others. We were extremely pleased with the final results as well as the entire building process, from beginning to end. Bryan and his team were a class act. They were innovative and always professional. We wanted a modern lakehouse that was > easy to care for. Their team was full of ideas on how to handle the challenges we met along the way (a very steep sloping lake lot with erosion issues, etc). They responded quickly to any concerns we had and were always available. We ended up with a product truly much better than we ever even imagined possible. We would highly recommend this company. **★★★★★ — swadley007, April 2015** > We hired Jones Pierce when we completely remodeled our home in 2014. We have been very pleased with our experience with them. Their ideas were right on with what we envisioned for our house, they were attentive to our needs, very professional and a lot of fun to work with. I highly recommend their firm. **★★★★★ — mcmason1998, April 2015** > We have collaborated with Jones Pierce Architects on numerous projects over the years and have enjoyed all of them. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an architect that can bring creative design ideas, professionalism and an extreme attention to details. **★★★★★ — Eco Custom Homes, April 2015** > Over the years I have worked with numerous architects on wide ranges of projects. I have used Jones Pierce on a few of my most recent projects. The following are the main 3 reasons why: 1. Pricing, Jones Pierce provides an accurate job budget before the project comes out of schematic design. I have worked with many homeowners that have invested over a year of their time and $50K to $100K in design fees only to find out that they cannot afford the project that was designed. 2. High Performance / Sustainable designs. Bryan is Passive House Certified, and is designing homes that will meet code 10 years from now. With energy costs increasing yearly, I don't know why anyone would what to build a home that is obsolete the day it is finished. 2. Plan accuracy, as a builder, I hate to find a set of plans full of major errors, this usually leads to cost and time overruns. I have not found any major errors to date in Jones Pierce plans. **★ — perspective123, March 2015** > We have had a poor experience with Jones Pierce: inability to come close to budget, design that had to be retrofitted in the build process due to gross mis-measurements, and a general lack of attention. I cannot recommend. **★★★★★ — Shelagh and Mike Whitney, July 2014** > Architectural firm with the ability to design high end urban environments all the way through to lake and country homes with scope including historical perspective and thoughtful detail. They are talented, warm and friendly and make the process enjoyable while delivering on time! **★★★★★ — HR Construction Inc., Oct. 2013** > I have worked with Cooper Pierce at Jones Pierce. I found him to be astute, understanding and visionary. Their "10 Principles of Design" are unique to the market. As a builder, I continue to refer them every chance I get. ## Selected projects - [The Nest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-nest-pj-vj~7182385) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 23 - Description: We first had the pleasure of working with this couple in 2007.

Impossible unless you are those special few clients, as it was in this case.
