Featured Reviews for Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers

Sophie Piesse Architect, PA
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“A main concern with renovating our midcentury modernist home was to maintain the integrity of the home originally designed by the locally renowned architect, James Webb. We definitely got more than be hoped for working with Sophie Piesse. Pictures of both the before and the after renovation exist on two websites: http://www.SophiePiesse.com and http://www.trianglemodernisthouses.com.”

studio | TRACE, pllc
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“We had a very complicated kitchen remodel -- our home was built 90 years ago . We wanted to preserve the style from that era while making design/flow more consistent with the efficiencies of present time. Traci D'Alessio did a phenomenal job in meeting this challenge. her thoughtful and meticulous approach, exceptional skills of listening, and genuine interest in our preferences resulted in an award winning kitchen. I would hire her again for any project. I will also mention that we had the added challenge of employing a design/build firm for our contracting/building needs which meant that at times there were conflicts and potential awkwardness with 2 architects involved. When it was necessary and she felt that the product might be compromised, Traci D'Alessio managed these potential conflicts well -- an underappreciated but VERY important skill. Last, Traci has an exceptional command of the most up-to-date technology in her profession. This enables her to make changes with lightning speed (in comparison to the surprisingly archaic methods of many local architects) -- this will save you not only time but money.”

Hutch Johnson WHJ Design
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Hutch on various projects spanning a number of years. On two projects, I was the owner’s representative/project coordinator, so I have seen him through the eyes of a client. On others, I’ve worked on the contractor’s team as selection coordinator, and have seen him through the eyes of a peer. I also work for Hutch as a bookkeeper, so I see him as a business man, and I watch how he relates to all members on any project team.
Hutch is not a brand to sell. He is a creative listener who delivers what the client dreams of or requires. When reality sets in for the client, he helps harness the scope so that it fits the budget, but maintains the superior quality of design and function that are important to the client, regardless of scale.
I’ve also worked on projects with other designers. When on a “Hutchless” project, one thing I notice almost immediately (and miss terribly) is Hutch’s ability to know how a space will be used or lived in. His perception and foresight are far superior to many other designers. In addition, he knows how materials will function and esthetically relate to each other, so that spaces just plain work — and they look fabulous in the process.
Amazingly, with such focus on the design and esthetics of a project, he is forever cognizant of the structural integrity of a building. He knows what works, and what doesn’t.
Hutch is very good at guiding his clients through the process, which can be overwhelming. He’s realistic, he issues alerts when needed and he will do what the client insists upon in spite of his better judgment, so long as it does not produce an inferior or dangerous structure.
I look forward to working on more projects with Hutch, and to referring him to anyone who needs a thoughtful professional who is really good at what he does and loads of fun to work with. He takes his work seriously, but is anything but stogy!!”

Grant Bizios Architecture
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“We hired Bizios Architecht to design our house and we were very happy with the whole process. The firm started by helping us clarify what we wanted and then made suggestions on how to achieve this. Gerogia Bizios and her team designed a house achieving our objectives within our budget and worked well with the contractor to make sure these were realized. In addition, we had a strange lot and they sited the house perfectly!”

Midtown Designs
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“I have used Carl Welch at Midtown Designs for the last 5 years on over 100 new construction starts. We constantly take plans and rework them to keep up with trends and keep things outside the box. Carl has never failed to get my ideas on paper in a way that complements the house and keeps me ahead of the competition. Best Architech I have ever used!!!!”

Dawn Christine Architect, PLLC
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“Her work is simply breath taking. A true professional in all areas. I am blown away with her hard work and passion. GREAT JOB DAWN.”

Arielle C. Schechter, AIA

“Audie was outstanding to work with. We hired her for a renovation and could not have been more pleased with her work. She is terrific and I highly recommend her.”

Four over One Design
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“Sara at 4/1 designed a screen porch for our 1920s bungalow. The resulting design perfectly matches the house, down to the tiniest detail. During construction, Sara worked closely with the contractor to ensure correctness and was available to us for consultation on any and all details. In addition to being very skilled and very professional, she was a pleasure to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed the process and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

Jody Brown Architecture, pllc
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“I've not hired Jody to do any architecture; I'm simply here to give him 5 stars for putting the biggest smile on my face this morning for the 45 minutes of out loud laughs & giggles for his ingenious and intensely clever (not to mention RELEVANT) blogs/articles.
Jody - you are too funny! Thank you!!!!”

BuildSense
Durham, NC Architects and Building Designers
“L. Meyers brought me in as a preservation consultant to assist one of their homeowners with preservation tax credits on a kitchen renovation. I was impressed with the thoroughness of their preparations for me, the ease of communication, and also with their clear focus on customer service. The homeowner was obviously pleased with the work, and I look forward to working with Meyers again.”
