    Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Oak Ridge

    Falconnier Design Co
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Oak Ridge
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2015
    “Falconnier Design used my unusual requests and prepared drawings to remodel our home to meet our lifestyle. They were able to design custom cabinetry, pantry, and walk-in closets to increase storage space, a tiled room floor to ceiling for our hot tub and massage chairs, and a kennel including an area for our dogs to sleep, special bathing area with steps, sink, and area to store food, toys, medicines, etc. The front entrance, shower, and doorways were designed to be handicap accessible for future needs. I was made aware of any budget or any other modifications before changes were made. Because of their experience with different types of construction projects, they were able to solve problems. The staff were enjoyable to work with and very professional.”

    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsSeptember 5, 2015
    “Stephen adapted a stock plan for our house, which we called the Fieldstream. The in-office process was focused and creative, while the follow up and plan completion was perhaps a bit less timely. Nevertheless, the result in terms of functionality, flow, and great touches like the desk nook was great.”

    C3 Studio, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Oak Ridge
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 9, 2015
    “Beautiful and detailed design work, excellent client services, and very pleasant to do business with... I'm pretty certain there is nothing these designers cannot achieve when it comes to the world of residential (and commercial) design. I highly recommend the team of C3 Studio as they are not just talented designers but wonderful individuals as well.”
    Mullikin + Stevens, LLC
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Oak Ridge
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 28, 2014
    “We were in the market for a complete remodel of our existing home....Mullikin and Stevens provided us with a very pleasant experience, starting with the first draft of our plans to the last detail of our construction. They were extremely knowledgable in all areas but I was most impressed with the lighting details in our home. The color schematics were well chosen and they even assisted us in furniture selections and placements. The cabinets, flooring and even the plumbing fixtures selections were all carefully thought out and the results were lovely. We have been very pleased with the results. The general contractor thought they were very easy to work with and also would recommend them. They helped us to stay close to budget but let us know when there was a need to spend more on certain items. My husband and I both enjoyed our experience and would recommend them without any hesitation.”

    “Ric has the rare gift of listening to a client. He take the time to understand what you want, why you want it and most importantly how you are going to use it. He then delivers a design which will meet your needs and is within your budget. Easy to give 5 stars to someone who consistently delivers great value for their services.”
    Edge Engineering, Inc.

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2018
    “Ms. Gillette does excellent work. I told her I wanted a screened-in porch added to the back of my house, and she listened carefully, came for a site visit, then drew up plans according to what I was looking for. We tweaked it a time or two, and she made me three copies of the plans for my contractor and for permitting. Contractor was most impressed with the quality. Because he wasn't able to build within the time I had available, the contractor ultimately did not take the job. But the plans were lovely, reasonably priced, and very professionally done.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 24, 2024
    “We have know Shawn for many years now and have built several of his homes for the most discerning clients. His architecture and design elements are far above the standard you see with many home plans of today. His creativity will literally blow you away with his vision that he can quickly transfer to paper. We have never seen anything like it and after building for 25 years, each design he presents is over the top. Respectfully, David Ivey Jr. President Ivey Custom Homes, Inc.”

    “Randall is a very thoughtful and focused architect. He pays close attention to his client’s desires and inspirations. Each project is a personalized innovative and creative solution. He has great aptitude for historical preservation work as he has preserved and maintained his personnel 1910 historic home in Fort Sanders in Knoxville. Whether it be designing custom trim and built-ins or a new home, I would highly recommend Randall.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2015
    “Bob did a great job! My wife and I were needing some modifications to a house plan that we found online but were having difficulties finding someone that could do it for a reasonable price. The website wanted to charge us 3 times the amount the plan actually cost to buy and every architecture firm we called in town was going to charge us thousands if they were even willing to talk to us. I somehow managed to come across Bob and Studio:e and it worked out great. Bob was able to recreate the floor plan we desired and was accommodating to every request we had (whether small and unnecessary). The project was completed in about 2 weeks, much quicker than we desired, and cost tremendously less than every other option we could find. Bob was exactly on the budget we discussed when we first met. I would highly recommend Bob to someone who is interested in building and wants to have a house plan drafted/modified without hiring an entire architecture firm.”
