He's very responsive and easy to communicate with on our ideas. > We feel very comfortable and confident in his work and knowledge! > Highly recommend ArchiNerd! > Ron and Karen **★★★★★ — HU-854906766, April 2023** > It was wonderful working with Brent. He listened to what we liked and didn't like. His first house plan drawing for us was like 95 percent what we wanted. It was better than we even imagined. He took our ideas and sprinkled in a few of his own which we liked. He is patient and knowledgeable and we felt comfortable with him from the start. He also worked to keep within our budget. Any building project you have we would recommend you use Brent. John and Lisa W. **Comment from ArchiNerd PLLC:** > Thanks John and Lisa! The concept plan was fun to figure out with you all, and we valued your expertise while developing the construction documents. **★★★★★ — George Folickman, Aug. 2022** > Anyone looking for help with their Nashville short term rental permit (STRP) application should definitely reach out to ArchiNerd. Brent and Bryce were super responsive and a pleasure to work with. I had my certification back right away and was able to complete the STRP process. **★★★★★ — HU-943690484, Aug. 2022** > Archinerd was very easy to work with. Both Brent and Bryce were extremely responsive and very attentive to my needs. I highly recommend them, not only for the cool company name, but the cool people as well. **★★★★★ — Samuel Stan, May 2022** > I realize that there are at least two kinds of reviews that any one can write . one that is objective and one at least subjective . I need to write one that is both . Brent and the crew performed well above the scope of the initial scope of the project Due to some last minute regulation that city has passed , I need to call on Brent two extra time , not counting the initial call. Every time I call Brent was very on the ball , even thou one of the call was on a weekend. > I would recommend Brent & the crew to any one in need of any architectural work. My wife and I are very pleased with ArchiNerd, and wish them only the best of luck. > > Sam & Rose Stan **★★★★★ — Sharon Tillman, May 2022** > We are extremely pleased with the plans Brent has designed for us for 2 houses. Brent was easy and wonderful to work with and had great insight as to how to put the 2 houses on 1 lot as well as many, many other great ideas. Plus his prices are very reasonable. We highly recommend ArchiNerd!! **★★★★★ — km1981, March 2022** > Brent has been an absolute dream to work with. He is extremely detailed oriented and thoughtful about ways to achieve excellent results economically. He listens well and takes time to understand goals, flow, light and then uses all of that to create a high impact design that is also practical and achievable. Every vendor or contractor that I've shown our plans to have been blown away but the detail and thought that was put into them. I really cannot say enough about our experience in working with Brent and his team. **★★★★★ — Charlotte Sappo, Dec. 2021** > Brent was truly excellent to work with! He fit my project into his schedule and designed a second-floor renovation for my historic 1930s Tudor (3 bedrooms and a master bathroom). The process was iterative and I am so pleased with the final design. He took the time to get to know me and what I wanted and then took those initial ideas and made them so much better - his work surpassed my expectations. Also, Brent is an exceptional communicator - both with myself and he took the time to talk to the contractor as well. I appreciate how organized and thorough he is plus he has a good understanding of practical considerations. He always delivered on time. I am so thankful I found his company to work with. I would recommend Brent wholeheartedly! **★★★★★ — HU-671982351, March 2021** > I have known Brent Hunter and his family since high school. We are both Nashville natives. He was always considered one of the "smart" kids, and he was a great artist and athlete also. Ask to see some of his drawings and you will understand why he is such a good architect. It is not often you find someone with all of these skill sets. I also took a look at his website to make sure that all of his skills translated to his professional career, and it all checked out. This is why I decided to chose Brent for my home and pool design in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood. > > My wife, and I had an idea of what we wanted, but Brent asked all the right questions, and was very responsive. I must admit I changed my mind quite a few times, and Brent was patient with me. Brent's style is very collaborative. It is obvious his goal is to design you the best possible home for you, and he does not push ideas that you do not like. We brought all of our idea's to the table, and he helped us think through them all, and in the end we ended up with an excellent design. He also helped us navigate codes and permits, which can be very cumbersome. The final product surpassed my expectations, and was very accurate and professional. I will definitely be using Brent for my next project. **★★★★★ — Deanna Hanks, Feb. 2021** > We were so fortunate to find Brent Hunter/ArchiNerd for our East Nashville historical renovation/addition. He is a knowledgeable, responsive, experienced and talented partner on a major reno/build project like ours. We've done many extensive reno or build projects and Brent is the best architect we have worked with yet. The challenges were too numerous to itemize but Brent found excellent options to resolve them given the many constraints - including conforming to historical overlay requirements. Will post before and after photos when the project is complete. **★★★★★ — Warner Jones, Feb. 2020** > We really enjoyed working with Brent on our project! We live in a Historic Zoning Overlay in Nashville, and Brent was able to navigate the approval process with ease. He is a great communicator and is always responsive. We recommend him 100%! **★★★★★ — Jon Stolzer, June 2019** > After having a difficult time getting architects to return my calls, or provide me with reasonable pricing; I was able to connect with Brent Hunter. He was professional, communicative, and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t be more happy with his work and I would highly recommend him. He did a wonderful job helping to realize our renovation ideas and designs. He hit it out is the park on the first go around. If you’re looking for an architect, we would highly recommend Brent. ## Selected projects - [Mid Century \| Small Home, Big Lift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-small-home-big-lift-pj-vj~7263382) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 14 - Description: This was a smaller home in east Nashville that had a roof removal, rebuild and kept the original footprint. The design goal was to maintain the overall charm of a 1-story home, while having a 2-story home.

The other side was neighbor facing, so we loaded it with full-height space via a shed roof to the side. The overall affect has been extremely well received in the community. - [Brentwood Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brentwood-makeover-pj-vj~7228586) - Location: Brentwood, TN - Photos: 29 - Description: A major remodel and makeover to a home in Brentwoood.
