The emphasis is on innovative design, ecological, and economically sound solutions. The work has been widely featured in both books and architectural journals here and abroad. In 1995 Princeton Architectural Press published the monograph: Turner Brooks: Work. Several houses have been published in Architectural Record magazine’s annual “Record Houses” issue. Many of the institutional projects, including the Gilder Boathouse for Yale University, were won in invited architectural competitions. Turner has lectured on his work throughout the United States and abroad. With each new project, we come prepared to listen to the client with an attitude of discovering the possibilities that are offered by the program and site. More often than not it is the friction between program and site that makes a design begin to ‘percolate’ and take form. The realities of budget and time almost always enter in as ‘referees’ to this friction. In the initial stages of a design project, we explore several different design alternatives with the client. We believe this is the best way to develop the most appropriate response to a given program. In the design process, we generate a series of physical models to clearly communicate both inside space and exterior form. We take pride in our thorough construction drawings and specifications as well as in the careful management and supervision of the construction process. Through careful siting, selection of appropriate and sustainable materials and systems, our buildings strive to tread lightly on the planet. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Multigenerational Homes - Project Management - Custom Homes ### Areas Served - Hinesburg - Bristol - Starksboro - Monkton - New Haven - Greenwich - New London - Westchester ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Turner Brooks Architects | | Address | 208 Rublee Road, Starksboro, Vermont 05487, United States | | Phone | (203) 927-5236 | | Website | http://www.turnerbrooksarchitect.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 18 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — http://www.turnerbrooksarchitect.com/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Turner Brooks Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/turner-brooks-architects-pfvwus-pf~630414317) - **Website:** http://www.turnerbrooksarchitect.com/ - **Phone:** (203) 927-5236 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2018), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Katie Donnelly, Nov. 2019** > Turner was amazing to work with to design and build our house in East Branch. We came to him having seen one of his previous houses that was highlighted in the New American Cottage. As others have noted, Turner has great vision as an artist. You can see this from the envelope of our house with its unique angles and strategically shaped and placed windows. The angles create wonderful living spaces inside and the windows allow the house to capture the many different views of the surrounding mountains. We love how our house interacts with our surrounding landscape in the Catskills from both inside and outside. Beyond the final product, Turner was a joy to work with and was as invested as we were from design to completion of the house. In the design phase, he was creative, patient, dedicated, responsive to our input and solution oriented. In the construction phase, he worked closely with our general contractor at every step along the way to ensure the final product was everything we imagined. **★★★★★ — Kathe Fox, Sept. 2017** > Turner Brooks is an artist whose medium is livable, affordable, and accessible architecture. Only choose Brooks for your project if you want an architect who has an exceptional eye for light and space; loves stairs; is not afraid to push you a little; and chooses solutions that rely on design rather than high end finishes and current expensive gimmicks. Brooks has been designing and building homes in the NE for 40 years; they are sound, functional structures, adapted to the needs and requirements of the environment, landscape, owners and their families. I have a Turner Brooks home in the Adirondacks; it is stunning, comfortable, and easy to live in. I enthusiastically endorse and recommend Turner. **★★★★★ — Gordon Bristol Consulting, Aug. 2017** > Great, great work. A delight. We did a $2.0 million project together and worked side by side for two years. A delight...A GREAT building.
