They have a very detailed process to design the home of your dreams. We are very pleased!! **Comment from Scott Wilson Architect, LLC:** > Thank you! We had a great time helping you with your home and are so glad you're enjoying it! **★★★★★ — William Cox, Dec. 2024** > Our journey with Scott, Donna and the design team started 10 years ago...having purchased acreage in south central Tennessee 15 years prior in anticipation of retiring to the country life, we were finally ready to begin the search for an architect. During her inquiries Kimberly discovered Scott's web site. After seeing his sunroom designs and reading his bio and vision statement we knew we wanted to work with Scott. At our first meeting Scott asked us to describe our dream home. He took our initial concepts and over the course of the next three years designed and patiently revised our plans several times as our ideas evolved. He then helped us interview potential contractors and visited their job sites to evaluate their projects. Having selected a contractor, we retained Scott for the duration of the project. His services were invaluable during construction. Scott was intimately involved in every detail. He personally accompanied us and helped us choose roofing materials, brick and stone, flooring, windows and doors and even timber slabs for mantels. He consulted with our contractor regularly and performed onsite inspections weekly to ensure quality and adherence to standards. His efforts persevered through the Covid pandemic with its worker shortages and supply chain delays and a comprehensive inspection before giving his final approval of the completed project. We've been in the house now for 3 years and could not be happier with the outcome. It's the realization of our dream home. Thank you Scott and team for your commitment to the highest quality and personalized service. **Comment from Scott Wilson Architect, LLC:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Knowing how you feel about working with us is our "Why". It's always encouraging to know that good architecture and caring about people makes a difference for those we are blessed to work with. **★★★★★ — carolcmitchell, Dec. 2022** > Scott came highly recommended through a community group and after meeting him for the first time, it was clear we found the architect we needed to make our house dreams come true. > > He listened carefully to all of our wishes and requests and made sure everything we hoped for (and then some!) was seamlessly worked out. > > He was a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend Scott. Easy to give 5 stars! > Ken and Carol **★★★★★ — Derek Gardner, March 2021** > Scott and his team are top shelf architects. Very impressed with their professionalism and personal service. We had to make some significant changes to our original plan and Scott and his team paid attention to the details and even offered up some creative alternatives we hadn’t thought of. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Forte Building Group, LLC, Jan. 2020** > It’s been a pleasure to work with Scott Wilson on several projects. Scott is incredibly attentive when learning a homeowner’s unique style, priorities and budget and is able to strike the perfect balance between listening and guiding his clients in the right direction, always with their best interests at heart, to create ideal designs in regard to, both, aesthetics and function. > > Scott and his team are outstanding at providing well thought out recommendations throughout the design and construction phases, always remaining responsive to construction schedule priorities and homeowner requests while clearly communicating his ideas to ensure a smooth, enjoyable process for all involved. It’s this approach along with his exceptional architectural skills, creativity and attention to detail that lead to beautiful, practical and cost effective solutions that complement the vision and lifestyle of each and every one of his clients. His timeless designs distinctively capture each homeowner’s personal tastes and preferences and it shows with a diverse portfolio of varying architectural styles that range from modern, tradition, transitional, country french and more. > > As a custom homebuilder, we greatly appreciate Scott’s meticulous planning in regard to constructability details, which is invaluable towards preventing errors, delays and cost overruns. He has a true passion for his work and it’s obvious that he takes great pride in listening to his clients to meet their needs. We would highly recommend his services and hope to collaborate with Scott on future projects! **Comment from Scott Wilson Architect, LLC:** > Thanks Adam and we look forward to collaborating with you again soon! **★★★★★ — Josh P, Nov. 2017** > I can not imagine any architect doing a better job on designing our home. Mr. Wilson is everything you hope for in a professional. If I ever need services that he provides in the future, I will not look any further than his contact information in my phone. He is excellent, excellent, excellent!!!! **★★★★★ — Janet Ayers, Jan. 2017** > Scott was great to work with on a complex project. The results are a stunning home design that excels any type of apartment that currently exists. The functionality is as exceptional as the design. **★★★★★ — Linde Myers, Dec. 2016** > When designing our sunroom, one thing we wanted was to make it look like it was part of our home and for it to be unique. We used Scott Wilson for our design needs. Not only was Scott and his staff reliable and very knowledgeable, they were the best to work with. Our finished design is incredible and we continue to get compliments on the unique design. Scott had many great ideas. He and his staff are very on top of things and return phone calls promptly and made changes without hesitation. My husband and I, through our business have worked with many Architects, but we wouldn't even consider using anyone but Scott Wilson and we pass out his card with full confidence that he will not only take care of our customers but he will go above and beyond. We can't thank him enough for our finished design. **★★★★★ — Huseby Homes, Nov. 2015** > Our company as fortunate to build two of Scott's projects this year. The architecture of the projects are distinct as one is a downtown penthouse with a modern edge and the other one is a charming cottage in the Belle Meade area. Scott's design abilities demonstrate that he has a command in almost every architectural genre and that his true passion is to find out what the client wants and make is happen. The quality of the construction documents are of high quality; this is a high complement when considering most builders do not get the details needed to perform exceptional work. Scott not only has impeccable design abilities but character/integrity that is rarely found in any industry. I recommend Scott without any reservation and would encourage you to call him for anything from a remodeling project to a major multi million dollar project. **★★★★ — bwhitt1230, Feb. 2015** > Scott Wilson is a very respected architect in Nashville, TN, who was recommended to me by Kathy Anderson, of Anderson Design Studio, to design and draw plans for my new home. Scott provided me provided with several design options and they were all well thought out. I picked one and was thrilled with the outcome! He was very patient and hands on during the building process. Numerous times my builder needed to speak with him about certain facets of the plans. Scott was always available with answers and clarifications for my builder. I would definitely use him again! **★★★★★ — selderelp, Jan. 2015** > Scott was fantastic to work with. We started with a blank sheet of paper and we simply described our vision. He was able to hear us, make a few attempts, and nailed what we were seeing. Scott is a gifted man, very patient, and very easy to work with. It hit me that his greatest gift was hearing our individual vision, but get out of his own ideas and give us what we wanted, not what he suggested, a large difference. **★★★★★ — Shane McFarland Construction, Jan. 2015** > I have used Scott and his team for many of our customers and for many of my custom homes. Each time my expectations were exceeded from concept, to design, to follow through during construction. Creativity, listening and follow through are attributes you need in an architect and Scott and his team have them all. I could not recommend more highly. ## Selected projects - [Quarry House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/quarry-house-pj-vj~7598995) - Location: College Grove, TN - Photos: 20 - [The Grove Poolhouse Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-grove-poolhouse-project-pj-vj~7585417) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - [Wanderlust](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wanderlust-pj-vj~7553697) - Location: Franklin, TN - Photos: 12 - [Mountaintop Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountaintop-retreat-pj-vj~6569382) - Location: College Grove, TN - Photos: 14 - [Hilltop Prairie Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hilltop-prairie-style-pj-vj~6025697) - Location: Franklin, TN - Photos: 14 - Description: The site is up in the hills, overlooking the city, and it slopes sharply at the rear.
