Featured Reviews for Green Building Companies in Middlebrook

Candace M P Smith Architect
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 25, 2013
“After interviewing several architects to design a home for us in Rockbridge Baths, VA, we chose Candace Smith. She totally fulfilled our expectations. She was an active listener as well as a creative collaborator. She was able to blend our ideas for a home with the skill and knowledge needed to develop building plans. The end result is a stunning as well as functional home overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains. We met frequently with Candace Smith on the building site and in her office to ensure that the house would meet our expectations which included placing the house in just the right location to maximize the views. Additionally, she joined us in interviewing prospective builders and worked with him throughout the construction process. In sum, Candace is a superb architect and it was wonderful to work with her and her staff.”
HEIDI SCHWEIZER, Architect
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 3, 2016
“Ms Schweizer is a consummate professional who is also extremely talented and creative. Her capacity to "think outside the box" and use the resources of traditionalism combined with modern concepts results in a truly unique and beautiful outcome. She also has an unusual understanding of the engineering side of design so one can feel secure that her product is a workable plan that has realistic expectations. I highly recommend her!”
Patrick Farley Architect
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 26, 2017
“There are many architects and builders but few who have the skill, experience, and vision to design and build a green house. Looking for a modern architect in the area, we found Patrick's website and we got to know him before we hired him. We liked him immediately and never "interviewed' anyone else. We never regretted it. He shared our desire to build lightly, letting the surroundings influence the design and materials. He artfully brokered the inevitable differences of opinion between husband and wife, and we enjoyed the consultative process of working out the design together as a small team. After the design was complete, we were happy to have him build the house, too, which has worked out beautifully. On complicated custom houses, there are many situations where unforeseen circumstances or questions arise, and things move more quickly and smoothly when the person responsible for constructing the house is the same person as the person who envisioned it. The house is not yet complete, but we are currently on budget (more or less) and the product is a work of art. I have suffered through many residential and commercial building projects over a lifetime, and this is the first one I've enjoyed. If you're looking for a person with the sophistication and experience to design and/or build a complicated "dream house," Patrick is your man. And if you're not sure, ask him to take you to our house and show you what he is capable of creating. I think you'll come away a believer!”
Outlaw Design Company
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 29, 2013
“Ruth Ellen completed a whole-house renovation (2003) and a screen porch design (2012) for our family. She is insightful, practical, and thinks of things to incorporate into her designs that we never in a million years would have thought of. She's got inter-personal and listening skills that would make a professional mediator jealous--traits that come in handy when managing the expectations and goals of a builder, owner, and even spouses! Working with her has always been a pleasure, and ten years on we are proud to call her our friend as well as our architect.”
Miller Lane Studio

“Thea is absolutely fantastic to work with! She listens to what I like and want and then guides with the perfect touch. I would never have been able to do my kitchen without her help and it turned out better than I could have dreamed.”
Øesch Environmental Design
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsSeptember 1, 2014
“Fred was a pleasure to work with. Friendly but professional. Innovative. Cost and value conscious. He also has a history as a builder and woodworker which is quite helpful. He was very helpful in working with us to finish our design process and because of him we likely have a more beautiful and functional building than we otherwise would have. He was very helpful in figuring out what we could do ourselves and what we should hire out.”
Michael C. Brown / Architect
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 2, 2016
“We retained Michael C. Brown to review our "very preliminary" concept plans for an outbuilding to be located in the Historic Town of Manteo, NC. We wanted the design to feel similar to the net houses that one would have found on the Island . Michael was able to quickly evaluate the plan and make recommendations for materials for construction and to provide final design drawings for the contractor. Michael exceeded our expectations on schedule and design.”
Winterwoods Homes, Ltd.
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 10, 2015
“We have provided Winterwoods Homes with architectural models for two of their homes. Jeffery is very personable and we have enjoyed working with him on the projects. Winterwoods Homes designs and builds premium, timber-frame homes and cabins. Their attention to detail and quality is evident. We would recommend Winterwoods to anyone looking for a rustic, high-end home.”
Frazier Associates
Green Building Companies in Middlebrook
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 15, 2015
“We initially contacted Frazier Associates as a potential architect for our retirement house in Nellysford VA. After meeting with their team we accepted their proposal and began working closely with our architect, Annie Mathot. Interactions moved from overall style and basic room layout to progressively more specific details about every aspect of the house. Annie was able to capture exactly what we were looking for as a concept and then guide us in making the multitude of decisions and choices involved in turning that concept into a set of plans. Meetings with her were always a pleasure (we actually enjoyed the process), and she was always knowledgable about pros and cons of design alternatives. She kept in close contact via email on an almost daily basis as the project moved forward. She and Frazier Associates kept everything on schedule, and prepared all of the required plans and drawings within the initial cost estimate. They provided suggestions for selection of a builder, and recommended the builder we eventually selected. Their knowledge of and experience with local builders was invaluable here since our house was not the typical residential construction project for the area. They continued to assist us throughout the process of getting the house built, interacting with us and the builder on a regular basis. Our vision was to have a "new old house" that had the feel of an older home, and Frazier Associates made it possible for us to achieve our desired result.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a green building project can vary widely based on its complexity, size, and specific green technologies employed. On average, a green building project may take slightly longer than a conventional one due to the careful selection of materials and implementation of innovative practices. A small to medium residential project could range from 6 to 18 months, whereas larger or more complex projects might take longer. Clear communication with your chosen company will help set realistic timelines.
Green Building Companies prioritize materials that are sustainable, recycled, or recyclable, have low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions, and are sourced locally when possible. Design trends lean towards maximizing natural light, improving indoor air quality, and incorporating energy-efficient systems. The choice of materials and design elements is influenced by environmental performance criteria, client preferences, and architectural trends focused on sustainability and resilience.
Homeowners should start by defining their goals for sustainability, budget, and design. Researching green building principles and familiarizing oneself with key concepts such as passive solar design, energy efficiency measures, and water conservation can be very helpful. Gathering inspiration and creating a vision board can also aid in communicating your desires to the building company. Lastly, securing financing and understanding any eligible green building incentives or rebates is crucial.
Challenges such as sourcing specific sustainable materials, adhering to green certification requirements, and managing costs are addressed through experienced project management, innovative problem-solving, and robust supplier networks. Companies stay abreast of the latest green technologies and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively, ensuring project goals are met without compromising on sustainability standards.
