If you are looking for a talented architect to design your home, Lionel Bailey is exceptional. **★★★★★ — Joel Charlson, July 2018** > Lionel and his team have been great! He was able to take our general idea and design a beautiful house. We looked at several architects and we haven’t had a second thought about choosing Lionel. He’s been very responsive to any requests and he is very very invested in the final result. The cooperation between Lionel and our builder has been great and all the details get the proper attention. It has been a very good experience which is contrary to what we were told to expect from the process. **★★★★★ — stephenchiccarelli\_cloverleaf, Sept. 2016** > Have retained them to updated kitchen and related area. Professional, easy to work with, very knowledgeable. Great team. Would recommend them **★★★★★ — William Binder, Sept. 2016** > Lionel has been wonderful to work with. He is so knowledgable and easy to talk to, pays great attention to overall as well as details, and is quick and thorough with replies. He can and has designed a wide variety of styles and has so many creative ideas! **★★★★★ — M2 BROKERAGE, March 2016** > We interviewed 5 firms and were most impressed by Lionel Bailey's team, their attention to detail, and ability to design a beautiful home that met the client's expressed needs and desires. They have done an impeccable job incorporating our wish list / scope of improvements into the project and we are finishing the final touches on the design.

He consistently was available to meet with us during our project as well to adjust his vision to meet our needs. Great Job! **★★★★★ — Jeremy Werfal, Nov. 2015** > We hired Lionel Bailey to design a house for us. Lionel and his team did a great job. They were attentive and listened to our wants and needs. Lionel was extremely helpful in making recommendations to us and maximizing our overall space. Lionel is thoughtful and purposeful in his designs. His use and location of windows and doors makes our house open and airy, despite being located on a zero lot line lot where windows are not allowed on one entire side of the house. We couldn't be happier with work Lionel did and would highly recommend him to everyone. **★★★★★ — Ferris Land Design, Nov. 2015** > Lionel and I have worked on many projects together, from renovations to new construction. His ideas and understanding of spaces, along with attention to details and the clients desires, brings about special projects.

It is a joy to work with him on a project and our visions together bring great results and smiling clients. > I always look forward to working with Lionel and his team. **★★★★★ — candacehw, Nov. 2015** > Lionel Bailey's expertise coupled alongside individuals who have a certain feel and layout in mind for a residence produces timeless results. He brings ease to the process and uses experience to suggest where space needs to be conserved or expanded in order to be functional yet stand the test of time, taste and style. > > His finished dwellings speak for themselves with a quiet elegance. **★★★★★ — casgood, Nov. 2015** > Lionel and his team are easy to work with, very professional, and do wonderful work. We had them draw up plans for a remodel and we were totally pleased with what they came up with. **★★★★★ — rcbeall, Nov. 2015** > My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Lionel Bailey on our custom home design. We were very pleased with the way he truly works with his clients by listening to their desires and providing helpful feedback for building a dream home. His expertise for meeting our needs in architectural design was exceeded. In fact, we just recently hired him for another project, which was designing a cottage potting shed for our back yard. The design looks great and should be really nice once we have it built. Highly recommend him! ## Selected projects - [California Coastal](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/california-coastal-pj-vj~7606042) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 43 - Description: This Baton Rouge home, in The Settlement at Willow Grove, has a style inspired by a California Coastal vocabulary.

To compliment this interior change, an outdoor living area was created under an arched back porch that is easily accessible from the kitchen side of the house as well as the living room.
