With only an "idea", Bruce and his team at Standard Creative came up with a super cool 24' x 24' cube that met all the criteria and exceeded our expectations! The home, despite its small size feels open and airy with 12'-19' high ceilings and large windows that keep it light. The design oriented the house facing south so we are shaded from the sun in the hot summer but in the winter, the windows are pierced with rays of warm light. No space was wasted down to captured space above the refrigerator which serves as a built in office accessed from the landing. The three words that come to mind when I think of our home is creative, functional, and perfect! **★★★★★ — Carrigan Stone, May 2015** > Very creative and professional firm. They have all the based covered from initial creative space conceptualization through details of fit and finish. Would highly recommend! **★★★★★ — hamptonstephens, May 2015** > I have worked with Standard Creative several times over the past few years and find them to be knowledgeable, creative and fun to work with. They are a talented group. I would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — shannonuholt, June 2014** > Excellent work. Extremely satisfied. Our addition is seamless to our existing home and I continually get compliments on how wonderful it looks. Great people to work with as well. **★★★★★ — zizzie, Feb. 2014** > They were very professional & had a wealth of knowledge about architecture & their ideas for my home remodeling project. My budget & current personal situation is keeping me from this project at this time. Their prices were very reasonable but I need to wait a while before I'm ready to start this project. ## Selected projects - [Factor 48 Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/factor-48-residence-pj-vj~2984293) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Pate-Brickman Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pate-brickman-residence-pj-vj~2984316) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Mountain Brook Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-brook-residence-pj-vj~2984709) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Crescent Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crescent-road-residence-pj-vj~451085) - Location: Birmingham, AL - Photos: 16 - Description: A renovation/addition to a historic home in Forest Park. - [Briarcliff Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/briarcliff-road-residence-pj-vj~453314) - Location: Birmingham, AL - Photos: 21 - Description: A renovation of a kitchen, breakfast room, and home office. - [Warwick Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/warwick-road-residence-pj-vj~443172) - Location: Birmingham, AL - Photos: 23 - [Cliff Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cliff-road-residence-pj-vj~749659) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Clairmont Avenue Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clairmont-avenue-residence-pj-vj~369177) - Location: Birmingham, AL - Photos: 16 - Description: A classical renovation/addition to a federal-style house in historic Forest Park. - [Sterling Road Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sterling-road-residence-pj-vj~368974) - Location: Mountain Brook, AL - Photos: 6 - Description: An addition and renovation to an existing home in Mountain Brook.
