J Wilson Fuqua & Associates Architects

When you walk into a house designed by a visionary architect, you have an inspiring experience that you don't have everyday. You know the owner has spent his money well. Surprisingly, the design fees of gifted architects are not necessarily any more expensive, especially when you consider the impact on your investment. The difference in enjoyment of an ordinary house and an exceptional house is astounding. When you select your architect you are choosing either acceptable or exceptional design. No one aspect can effect your enjoyment or the real estate value more. A learned, listening professional will discover your desires and interests, enhance and combine them into a delightful composition. The most accomplished architects, are knowledge and have uncommon heightened sensitivities and awareness. Their training and experience reveal the most important aspects of your site, using them to your advantage: views, landscape, topography, sunlight, scale of house for the neighborhood. All these things that are often not even considered by the less thoughtful or trained. A beautiful building is always beautiful for years to come, while half way thought out design has a short shelf life. The expiration date comes all too quickly. For years, you have suffered the unnecessary compromises of bad design. Then you sell for less money than a house that you could have enjoyed. The difference in sales price can be significant, and more than makes up for any difference in design fees. Not to mention, the years of enjoyment of a property is its own reward.
