We > really appreciate Jack's leadership among our Team of Professionals to > plan and build exceptional Custom Residences for our Clients. **★★★★★ — Quincy Haarer, March 2016** > Jack Smith is an extremely talented architect, know how to put a house together and is very professional to work with. **★★★★★ — J F, March 2016** > We very much enjoyed working with Jack throughout the design process and construction of our home in DC Ranch. We are loving the house and so does everyone who has come to visit us. We have had no problems and it is a very efficient house from a utility and energy efficiency standpoint. It was a great architectural design and well built by the general contractor and team of subcontractors. Jack listened carefully to our hopes, contributions and suggestions throughout the process. We couldn’t be happier!! **★★★★★ — andyleeper, March 2016** > Jack designed our custom home on north Central in Phoenix, AZ. He originally drew the plans for our contractor, we instantly fell in love with the plans. Jack was very receptive to the alterations we needed to make to accommodate a mother-in law suite and incorporate an exercise room. The changes turned out perfect! We highly recommend Jack to anyone who is looking for a fabulous design of a custom home. > Andy & Marcia Leeper **★★★★★ — Saskatoon R, March 2016** > Absolutely incredibly artistry and skill. I have worked with many people of all artistic backgrounds and professionals from all over the world. When it comes to roughing out the basic idea of a home, down to creating the perfect and exact design that will become the backdrop for your life, JSA is there for his clients every step of the way. > > It is rare you meet someone with such intense focus and pride in their work. You can witness this by looking at his designs and builds that have been showcased in Magazines that display only Arizona's best in design and architecture. > > Some firms are simply too big to give you the gentle touch and eye to detail that is necessary to turn your dream into reality. They do not care about the end result besides the pay check associated with just another client on their long list in any given month. > > Some independent architects are too technical but don't possess the artists touch. Others? Artistic, but not practical. > > Jack will take the time to listen to your individual needs and guide you to the perfect design while still having the class to let you know when your "dream design" might end up being more of a nightmare dream disaster! > > He will let you know when your plans aren't viable in terms of long term equity or even structural success. You need the architect that cares enough to let you know when your ideas will work, and won't, and why... while still doing everything possible to ensure that what you end up with exceeds your expectations you had for the home of your dreams... instead bringing you the home you couldn't even dream of. > > Art. Vision. Passion. Technical Skill. > > Just ask Jack. ## Selected projects - [English Tudor Cottage Central Phoenix](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/english-tudor-cottage-central-phoenix-pj-vj~1436482) - Location: Phoenix, AZ - Photos: 10 - Description: This is a home I designed on Central Avenue in Phoenix, Az. - [French Country Central Phoenix](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/french-country-central-phoenix-pj-vj~1436500) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 5 - [Mediterranean Flair in DC Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mediterranean-flair-in-dc-ranch-pj-vj~1436527) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 7 - Description: A small lot in the Country Club Parcel at DC Ranch - [Spanish Colonial Silverleaf@DC Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-colonial-silverleafdc-ranch-pj-vj~1436516) - Location: Scottsdale, AZ - Photos: 3 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/jsaarchitect-pfvwus-pf~849051522) ## Ideabooks - [Spanish Colonial](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/63925847/list/spanish-colonial) — 49 ideas - [Formal Mediterranean](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/87764282/list/formal-mediterranean) — 2 ideas - [Rural Mediterranean Flavor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/63923608/list/rural-mediterranean-flavor) — 38 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/53700044/list/wish-list) — 4 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jsaarchitect77) ## Community Q&A **Q: Beautiful home!
