Brickmoon Design

As empty nesters, my wife and I decided to hunker down in our suburban home of 20+ years instead of moving inside the loop or buying a vacation home. To do that we decided that a major remodeling effort was needed to remake our house into our “oasis in the city”. Jeremy and the Brickmoon team took our practical vision and created a completely new living experience that exceeded our imagination. Their ability to provide both architectural and interior design services simplified our project and shortened the construction process.

From start to finish the staff at Brickmoon was professional, fun and very customer oriented. You can tell they love what they do! They took our vision for our home and made it a reality! It was a pleasure to work with them, from start to finish!

We used Brickmoon design for the architectural design for our custom home, and also for the interior decorating services. Both were wonderful experiences. We got great input in designing our dream home. Linhda was so great to work with for interior design and helped me to pick all my favorite finishes while staying in budget.

Ten years ago, we purchased our forever home -- built in 1939 in Garden Oaks -- and knew we would eventually need an architect to turn it into our dream home. We wanted to rework the hobbled-together floor plan and build a 700 sq. ft. addition (man cave, laundry room, bedroom, outdoor kitchen). We found Jeremy and Brickmoon after seeing some of their projects in the area. We were somewhat hesitant after a less-than-pleasant experience with another design/build firm on an earlier remodeling project. He immediately made us feel at ease -- he listened us and what we wanted. He's an all-around good guy, Professional, helpful and a pure delight to work with. He established good rapport with us, responded promptly to our emails and offered creative solutions to resolve our design dilemmas. Having never worked with a licensed architect before, he walked us through every step of the process and suggested a few builders we could interview to get preliminary pricing before finalizing the plans. It's a good thing he made that call as we found out the construction project exceeded our budget. He reworked our plans and managed to squeeze in everything we wanted. We are currently midway through the construction phase. It's one thing to see it on paper, it's another thing to see it brought to life. We love what he designed and can't wait to fully enjoy the much-improved space. Ironically, we've since met three others who also worked with Jeremy on their house and all have raved about their experience with Brickmoon. I've been in all three house and he does beautiful work. Bottom-line, Jeremy was the best architect we could have hired for our project. We're thrilled with our experience and the soon-to-be final product. I hope you get the chance to meet him.

Through the years we have collaborated with Jeremy, Alex, and the Brickmoon team on multiple projects. One area in particular that Brickmoon excels is the design of new homes and whole-home renovations in Houston's historic districts. Most recently we completed a project on Heights Boulevard. Their expertise and experience navigating this very intricate plan approval process is an invaluable asset to our team and the client. And of course the effortless way they blend old, new, and the client's vision is outstanding as well. We look forward to many more years of home collaborations!

We hired Jeremy to design some significant remodeling and additions to our 1967 era house. This included bumping out an outside wall and adding 1100 sq ft for a new master suite as well as adding offices, fireplaces and opening up the living areas. We also had Jeremy design some additional phases - new garage/den and a complete remodel of the upstairs that will be completed sometime in the next five or so years. All plans are ready to go. Jeremy and his team did a great job and were fantastic to work with. The most impressive part is how the additions look like they were always part of the original house. I have recommended him to several neighbors and would certainly use him for any additional architecture work.

When Hurricane Harvey flooded our house with two feet of water, my wife and I looked about for someone to help us bring the home back to life with improvements based on forty years of living there. It was our extremely good fortune to be put in touch with Brickmoon Design, where Jeremy McFarland and his fine staff have been a wealth of ideas and support. They have provided many innovative suggestions and creative advice, well beyond what we would have considered on our own. They have been responsive to our unending questions; and on the several occasions when we have offered design considerations, they have been quick to support and incorporate those with merit and have been appropriately assertive when one of our harebrained ideas needed to be squelched because it was impractical, unwise, or excessively costly. If you are in Brickmoon's service area and in need of a talented design team, we can highly recommend them.

We have been very pleased with the team at Brickmoon Design. We began the process by collecting pictures in Houzz, then met with the team for a vision session. From the start, they were focused on giving us their very best. The conversations were helpful, sometimes challenging, but in the end their questions lead to a great design. They worked with us from overseas, which presented challenges, but they were happy to coordinate schedules and time zones for conference calls. Their communication and professionalism throughout the process were exceptional.

Great group or people. They worked with me as my plans changed throughout the project. Very happy with their service!

Jeremy and the Brickmoon Design Team operate with the highest level of integrity. They offered creative solutions to a fairly complex project (portion was extensive remodel and a portion new build) and were constantly mindful of cost efficiency. They were excellent at follow through and meeting deadlines. Without hesitation I would use the Brickmoon Design Team again...

Jeremy, Alex, and Jimmy provided excellent service in developing our Heights remodel plans. Their experience with remodeling homes in the historic district allowed us to move quickly and seamlessly through the approval process (in fact, we never had to show up to a hearing). I was impressed with their ability to think outside of the box to create an innovative floor plan that fit our needs yet stayed within the historic guidelines. From the very beginning, the Brickmoon team listened intently to our goals and strived to incorporate them into the plans. At the same time, their team guided us when needed to make sure our plans flowed well and maximized efficiency. Whenever we had questions or concerns along the way, they were quick to respond. Whether you're remodeling in the Heights or building new elsewhere, I highly recommend using Brickmoon.

As a local Houston Custom Homebuilder, we have worked with many architect/design firms over the years. Some of those experiences have been better than others. Our interaction with Brickmoon Design has always been completely satisfactory. Brickmoon does a wonderful job of communication with the client in order to understand how they live. They do a great job actually designing towards the client's vision. Unfortunately, there are many firms out there that will simply "cut and past" elements of previous projects into a design and the client is often unaware. This "boilerplate" type of design often works, but is not truly custom and unique to the client. Brickmoon does not practice this way which is way we have referred many of our clients to them in the past and will continue to do so in the future. I might also add that I engaged Brickmoon to design my personal home, which is just about the highest form of endorsement I can give.
