He designed a beautiful home for us. We couldn’t be happier with how it came out. **★★★★★ — wendytim, Sept. 2026** > Kevin was a wonderful architect to work with on our new home build in Forest Hills, Tennessee. He turned our vision from a doodle on a napkin into a reality. He listened to our list must-haves and created a space that is beyond what our vision could have hoped for. The attention to detail is beyond. Our home will be a place we can make new memories and enjoy with all of our family and friends for all the days to come. Bravo, Kevin! **★★★★★ — Kevin Santonastaso, Sept. 2026** > Kevin Coffee was great to work with. He listened to all of our ideas and made sure they were incorporated into the final design. His ideas were right in line with what we were looking for. I appreciated the iterative approach to getting designs finalized. He was great with creating various elevations so that we could fully picture the final design. We would definitely want to use him on our next home build. **★★★★★ — kisantona, Sept. 2026** > We are absolutely thrilled with the home C. Kevin Coffey designed for us. He took our vision and transformed it into a truly breathtaking French cottage that feels both timeless and completely our own. > > Kevin’s talent for architectural details is exceptional. The beautiful arches throughout the home, thoughtful proportions, charming French-cottage character, and attention to even the smallest details create a home that feels warm, inviting, and incredibly special. Every room flows beautifully, and nothing feels overlooked. > > What sets Kevin apart is his ability to combine beauty with functionality. He didn’t simply design a beautiful house—he designed a home that works perfectly for the way we live. His creativity, expertise, patience, and dedication throughout the process made the experience wonderful from beginning to end. > > We receive so many compliments on our home, and we are constantly discovering little details that make us appreciate Kevin’s design even more. He brought a level of artistry and thoughtfulness to our project that exceeded anything we could have imagined. > > We are incredibly grateful to Kevin for creating such a beautiful and timeless home for our family. If you are looking for an architect with exceptional vision, impeccable attention to detail, and a genuine passion for creating something extraordinary, we cannot recommend Kevin Coffey highly enough. He is truly an outstanding architect and an absolute pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — Mark, Aug. 2026** > Kevin did a great job designing our beautiful home. He was easy to work with, creative, and receptive to our suggestions. I highly recommend Kevin for any architectural design needs. **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > Thank you Mark! You guys were fantastic to work with and I'm glad you are enjoying your beautiful new home. **★★★★★ — bellemeadeproject, Sept. 2025** > Kevin Coffey designed our home in Belle Meade, and the result is both timeless and livable. Our house blends classic architecture with modern flow — elegant details outside, open and comfortable spaces inside. Kevin’s sense of proportion, attention to detail, and collaborative approach made the process smooth and the outcome exceptional. Our home feels rooted in tradition but perfectly suited to how we live today. What impressed us most was Kevin’s attention to proportion and detail. He knows how to weave in formal touches — millwork, ceiling treatments, balanced façades — but without making a house feel stiff. Instead, he creates homes that live comfortably in the present. He was also collaborative and attentive throughout the design process, guiding us with confidence but always listening to our ideas. > The result is a home that feels rooted in tradition yet perfectly suited to modern living — a place that feels like it belongs in our community but is distinctly ours. Kevin Coffey doesn’t just design houses; he creates homes that tell a story and stand the test of time. **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > Thank you so much! You guys were so great to work with- it takes great clients to do great stuff! **★★★★★ — HU-539637013, Dec. 2023** > We absolutely love the addition Kevin designed. We had a long list of things we wanted in our 100 year old house, but wanted to make sure we stayed true to the character, integrity and history of the home. Kevin’s design did just that and also ensured that every new space is functional and purposeful. Not to mention beautiful! **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > Thank you so much! I look forward to a visit and photos! **★★★★★ — mrewright56, Nov. 2022** > We cannot say enough about how fortunate we were to work with Kevin on our home. When we started looking at architects, we (like most people) focused on the architects' portfolios to come up with a short list. Although Kevin's artistry speaks for itself, he brings so much more to the table than artistic talent. He is a great communicator and a very good listener. As a result, he was able to produce an initial set of drawings that took what we pictured in our minds and rendered these dreams in real life in short order. We got exactly what we wanted in a rapid timeframe and were able to move onto construction without delay. We truly can't thank Kevin enough for the beautiful home that he has created for us. He is everything we could hope for, and more, in an architect. **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > Thank you so much! I always say that it takes great clients and a great team, and I'm so happy that you love your house! **★★★★★ — chathamdawson, Oct. 2022** > Kevin Coffey was recommended to us by Castle Homes when we moved to Nashville. Working with Kevin has been wonderful. He is an incredible architect, who knows his craft. He did an amazing job designing our dream home, and captured all our goals throughout the design process. We feel so lucky, and are very grateful to have worked with him and the Castle Homes team! > \- Chatham **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > So glad you love the house! I do too! It's been a pleasure helping you achieve your dream! **★★★★★ — Joshua Keith, Oct. 2022** > Kevin is an incredible architect. I worked with him during my new home build with Castle Homes in Brentwood, TN. He was very attentive during the entire design process and effortlessly blended our ideas with his own and came up with a masterpiece. We did a Modern Tudor design which blended classic and modern elements and the results were stunning. I think that one thing that really stands out about Kevin is that he truly loves his craft and the amount of creativity that comes up with the job. If I ever build another home I would definitely work with him again. **Comment from C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design:** > Thanks Josh! I think your house turned out beautifully. It takes excellent clients to do this kind of work- so give yourself a lot of credit as well! **★★★★★ — Emily Shoff, Dec. 2020** > We loved working with Kevin! Even though we were on the other side of the U.S., we worked via phone, email, texts, and FaceTime to bring our house to life! He worked to bring our vision of what we had dreamt of, to a reality. It was one of our most favorite parts of the build process! Thanks Kevin! **★★★★★ — Cambridge Home Company, July 2019** > I have used C Kevin Coffey services as the Architect on the last three design-build projects I have completed. He and his team are extremely talented and have delivered one-of-a-kind homes, and architectural styles, that have unsurpassed most Architectural firms I have worked with. I love the attention to detail and that each home is unique and not a repeat. I highly recommend Kevin and his team for Architectural design services. ## Selected projects - [Hill Place House, Nashville Tennessee](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hill-place-house-nashville-tennessee-pj-vj~6992114) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Ridgetop House in Brentwood Tennessee](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ridgetop-house-in-brentwood-tennessee-pj-vj~7169199) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Highland Utah House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-utah-house-pj-vj~5768353) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This shingled residence in Highland, Utah participated in the 2019 Utah Valley Parade of Homes and won several People's Choice awards including "Best Exterior". The site's obvious beauty prompted many of the design decisions- it was decided early on by the client that the main living spaces in the home should be open and share the majestic mountain views to the North. The house also, however, does not turn its back on lovely views to the South and East as well. Large expanses of glazing are pred… - [West Meade Arts and Crafts Influenced Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-meade-arts-and-crafts-influenced-home-pj-vj~5777960) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This home in the West Meade area of Nashville was influenced by English Arts and Crafts designs.

In order to make way for the Battle of Franklin battlefield park, this home was moved to its present spot in Giles County Tennessee. The main front portion and front porch were preserved and a new addition was added to the rear of the structure.

The drive continues to a detached front-facing garage with cottage style doors which allowed the floor plan of the house to use nearly the entire width of the building envelope.
