Norris Architecture

I reached out to Norris Architecture regarding a potential custom home project and was very disappointed in my interaction with Brad Norris. From the start, he did not properly introduce himself or his firm, and when I asked who he was with, his tone immediately came across as impatient. As I began describing our property and vision, he abruptly cut me off and insisted on hearing only square footage, budget, and location. After I provided those details, he told me our project was “unrealistic,” that we shouldn’t even hire an architect, and that only millionaires could afford what we were considering. He dismissed our goals without taking the time to ask questions, understand specifics, or provide constructive guidance. Every other architect I’ve spoken with has been professional, respectful, and willing to explore how to align our vision with our budget. Instead of offering solutions or advice, Mr. Norris was condescending and discouraging. If you are looking for an architect who listens, collaborates, and treats clients with professionalism, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I can't imagine working with a more amazing and talented architect! Brad really listened to me and my husband, incorporated our wants and needs, walked us through the whole process, all while designing the most beautiful home I have ever seen. Originally I was afraid of hiring an architect that was not local, being that I live in VA and Brad lives in Nashville. However, it was not a problem at all. He was right there with me every step of the design and build and is still helping with final details in the house. I couldn't give a higher recommendation than working with Brad and his team at Norris Architecture.

I am an Interior Designer, and I have had the pleasure of working with Norris Architecture twice, on two beautiful residential homes. Brad exudes professionalism in every step. He has an impeccably trained eye, and a very strong knowledge base from conception to completion. His portfolio ranges from traditional, to transitional, to modern, and he does them all perfectly. Brad is amazing at working diligently as a team member. Not only is Brad the consummate professional, he is also engaging, personable, and attentive, and his clients love him! It is my honor to be included in working on projects with Brad, and hope to do so again very soon.

Brad designed 2 log homes for me. One was built the other was not. He was a pleasure to work with and was very flexible in incorporating my thoughts and adding his own good ideas as well. The home was featured in a number of magazines and was the cover home for the annual edition of Timber Homes Illustrated.

Pioneer has worked with Brad for the past 15 years on many of his projects. Brad has an incredible talent for the design, sizing, and placement of heavy timbers to create what becomes the most warm and liveable spaces. Brad has designed 4 home models for me in the past, which all turned out very well. If you are looking for an architect and want to incorporate timber in your design I would call Norris Architecture .

We can't say enough about working with Brad Norris. He has been the vision behind our most spectacular projects. With projects ranging from $500,000 to $20,000,000, Brad always provides very efficient and livable plans that our clients love. We would highly recommend Brad to any of our customers and will be doing more business with Brad in the future.

Mr. Norris was involved in the design and build of our dream home. He was "plugged" in to our dreams from the very beginning. He combines his artistic vision with his design ability and his willingness to listen to achieve the highest level of a project. He was a delight to work with and we have maintained a friendly relationship since the conclusion of our project. We have and will continue to recommend him.

Brad has been very gracious with his time and his ideas are amazing. If you have the chance to work with him, it will be well worth your while. Great guy, genius mind.
