My husband and I are luxury spec home builders and our success starts with the “foundation” of our homes designed by Elliot. His insight and ability to make each project different yet functionally and aesthetically pleasing within our budget has been a recipe for success and why each buyer feels their home is unique and special. Elliot is creative, efficient and makes us better as we love what we do as well! Jim and Julie Lavender, Terra Builders LLC, Homes with Heart.

Elliot was incredible to work with. He took our vision and multiple facets to our home and brought it to life. He was innovative and practical with his design. He listened, guided, and worked with us throughout the entire process. He truly is an artist. We highly recommend Elliot!

Working with Elliot was a great experience. We had some unique requests for our new home and he was able to interpret those perfectly, even in the first version of our floor plan. Elliot’s ability to combine innovative design with the practical aspects of everyday living was a huge plus. The design process flowed well and there was a nice balance of listening, suggestion and guidance throughout that resulted in an end product with which we are well pleased. Highly recommend.

Elliot is a great listener who takes a practical approach to his clients’ needs. Skilled in home design, he thoughtfully laid out the floor plan based on our program requirements. Moreover, his focus on efficient and cost-effective sustainable features was appreciated. Lastly, Elliot put together a comprehensive set of permit documents with enough detail for our builder to price in alignment with our financial objectives. I would highly recommend Elliot to anyone building a custom home.

It was a pleasure working with Elliot to design our home. From our initial meeting to the delivery of the final plans, Elliot's main objective was to design the home that we wanted, timely and within budget. He is extremely efficient, expeditious, and dependable. Throughout the entire process, he was accessible and precise, and communication was always two-way, which we appreciate. We are very pleased with the plans for our new home and our overall experience with Elliot! We would highly recommend him for any home build project!

Elliot Johnson exceeded our expectations with his creativity and very quick turnaround. I could not be happier with the plans we received. He listened to everything we said and incorporated it into a thoughtful, creative, functional plan. He was also patient with this novice, providing me careful education throughout the process. Thank you Elliot!

Beginning to end - Elliot was phenomenal to work with. This is our first time building a custom home and we were very intimidated and overwhelmed. After we had our first meeting with Elliot, we were relieved and knew that we chose the right architect. Elliot took our inspo, vision and created exactly what we imagined/talked about. He is very knowledgeable and helped us understand different aspects of design/architecture. We learned so much from him throughout the process. Elliot is always quick to respond, a great listener and very patient. We can't wait to see our design come to life. We highly recommend Elliot and will refer him to anyone in need of a great architect. Thank you, Elliot!

We, recently, moved into a house the Elliot Johnson desigend back in 2007. The unique architecture and thoughful design have kept up and ahead of the times (it is now 2023). The house is a perfect balance of between optimizing for the lot and where it sits and the form and functionality that makes every day use a pleasure. So many tasteful elements blended in with creative touches to make the home stand out both inside and out. I have, recentlly, reached out to Elliot for some follow-on help/questions and have enjoyed his focus on the customer and doing things right. I, 100% reccommend Elliot and his firm!

Elliot took our stories, our mountain of inspo, and the fantastic view our new lot has, and designed a house full of thoughtful details and spaces that will take us through the next ten years. His experience, professionalism, and practical approach made the design process very smooth. We trust his advice and we're in the process of making it real this year.

Elliot continues to listen and produce. He delivers exactly what we talked about and his timing is epic.

We had a list of things we wanted in a house and I never thought we would be able to get them all. On our first meeting, Elliot drew a rough sketch of a floor plan and it was fundamentally what we used for the final form. He is good at listening and able to turn a vague concept into something on paper. Elliot is lightning-fast in response time and I never felt like I was waiting on him - actually, I think he was waiting on us at a few points! He's not the most warm and fuzzy, and he sidesteps "This or that?" decisions, preferring that the homeowner make the choices. In the end that caused us to really evaluate our options and figure out what (hopefully) will work best for our needs.

After working with another architect for over 10 years our schedules conflicted and I was forced to find somebody new. This part of the process can really make or break the entire project so I was a little hesitant to use somebody new. When I found Elliot Johnson at images of..., we quickly connected and together some of my favorite plans to date. The design and floor plan were both very appealing and layed out well. He gave me City ready plans and just under 5 weeks. It was also nice to know that he has designed many homes in the city of Austin and very familiar with mcmansion rules. I expect it to be a clean run through the city. I will definitely plan on giving him the first shot on my next development.
