When we decided to build a house, our builder recommended Frusterio for house plans. At first, I knew nothing about lot sizes and Sq. footage and what could be built on our particular lot. After contacting Adam Little and speaking with him a few times, he helped to guide me to the perfect plans and customized them to fit all our needs. I probably relied a little too much on him but he was always kind and helpful. I can't wait to see our vision come to life and we look forward to living in our forever home here in Charlotte. Thanks so much Adam.

I had the great pleasure of working with Adam Little at Frusterio Design on a custom home for our lake lot - this had been a dream of ours for over 25 years, so we were more than ready to begin! Adam is so very creative - we chose a design from the Frusterio portfolio that was very different than our usual style, and this particular design was one that Adam had worked on just prior to our call. He was excited to see it come to life as were we. He spent quality time asking about our dreams for the home, how we wanted to use it, who would live and visit there, how we saw ourselves living in the home, how it would integrate with the land and the lake - and we found ourselves answering in ways we hadn't thought of. Adam's questions inspired us, and so we begin with the heart of the home - the kitchen - and Adam offered a redesign of the kitchen and the skullery that allowed for family cookoffs, a separate place to bake with the grandchildren, and game nights at the unique half circle island, all with full view of the lake. We made other changes to the plan together, and Adam's ideas were just brilliant. His innate sense of symmetry made this house plan beautiful: the site lines are gorgeous, everything flows and lines up, and best of all, when you enter the front door, the first view is a 12 foot wall of windows that showcase the lake - it will be breathtaking. Adam is extremely patient, is incredibly responsive, has a superb sense of humor, and knows how to guide a client from an idea they have that might not be "optimal" to one that becomes part of the plan through his art and skill in transformation - he always has a vision for what can be. I had a big twinge of sadness when our project was completed, but I felt proud of the finished project - it was a true collaboration. And most importantly, I felt like Adam had become a friend! It all started with the beautiful portfolio of Frusterio Design - it was challenging to choose one given the stunning designs available! Our builder has completed a few Frusterio Design and they are headturners. Our build should be done in January 2026 and we are honored to have a Frusterio Design home, and honored to have worked with Adam Little.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Adam and Frusterio. Adam’s designs are unmatched. He truly listens, cares and wants to dig deep into what you are wanting. We have loved our experiences with Adam so much, it’s hard to put it into words. He knows what I’m thinking and is able to put all of my ideas on paper better than I could even imagine them. No job is too small or too big for him. He puts just as much time and effort into large homes as he does modest ones. From our first contact with him months ago to now, we are truly so grateful to have found him and Frusterio.

Thanks so much, Harisha! Looking forward to seeing your home take shape. it was a pleasure working with you!
I recently had the pleasure of working with the Frusterio Design team, and my experience from the initial call with Adam to the final design tweaks was exceptional. Adam's expertise and approachable nature made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. From the beginning, Adam took the time to understand my vision and needs. Despite my initial obliviousness to certain aspects of the design process, Adam patiently walked me through every detail, boosting my confidence as we progressed. His clear and effective communication, along with his impressive style and knowledge, were truly outstanding. Adam's suggestions were invaluable, guiding me towards decisions I might not have made on my own but which turned out to be perfect for the project. The ease with which he navigated the design process and his ability to bring my vision to life left me extremely happy with the results. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing the final design come to life and couldn't be more satisfied with my experience with Frusterio Design. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, communicative, and talented design team with a reputable track record of envisioning gorgeous homes!

We are so excited to build our beautiful dream home and highly recommend working with the team at Frusterio.

Chuck Frusterio made builder ready plans for my lake house addition. They made the process very simple and timely. They were great at listening to what I wanted. They delivered exactly what I asked for with a few improvements I would not have thought about. The process was just how they described it would be.

We cannot sing the praises of Frusterio Design enough. After new builds and countless renovation projects, we felt so lucky to have found Adam and his team to design our new custom home. They are readily available, responsive, professional, prompt and very fun to work with. We were continually impressed with their focus and attention to detail, as well as incorporating our needs and wants. Frusterio does an amazing job at integrating flawless and innovative design with comfort and livability. We are so excited to begin building the custom plan they have designed for us, and put this vision to life. Thank you so much Adam, and the entire Frusterio team.

Only pros, no cons with Frusterio Design. We would 100% recommend this company to anyone who will listen. Their attention to costumer service, detail and excellence are just a few of the qualities we love about Frusterio. I couldn’t keep my comments to myself, so if you want to hear more about our positive experience with Frusterio, please keep reading.
Frusterio has been absolutely incredible to work with over the past few months as my husband and I begin the process of building our forever home. I started following Frusterio through their profiles on Houzz and IG as well as their website quite a few years before reaching out to design our own home. I have always enjoyed viewing and studying house plans, and Frusterio's "stock" plans that are available for viewing shine above all the rest out there. Frusterio's creative designers, customer service and attention to beautiful detail is known among so many in the industry, and I am so grateful to witness these qualities firsthand.
When it came time for my husband and I to start truly planning our forever home, we were uncertain whether we would spend the extra money up front for an architect to design a truly custom plan or if we wanted to try to find a "stock" plan that would work for us. The Frusterio team immediately jumped in to meet our needs in finding our best plan of action. Frusterio does it all- from custom plans to stock plans and options in between. They have been so prompt and professional with every email and call right from my very first inquiries. I truly felt so informed and heard even before I paid a cent to their company. I have never felt pressured to go in a certain direction but only supported through every decision with this team.
We landed on the stunning “Blair” plan with the choice for modification to more accurately fit our family's lifestyle. We have been working with one of Frusterio's designers, Adam, through these modifications and could not be in better hands. Adam has been so patient, personable and professional with us throughout our whole design process. He has tentatively listened to our needs and come back to us with creative ideas. Each time I spoke to Adam, I could truly hear his passion for design and how much he enjoys creating something magnificent and unique for each customer. Adam was efficient yet took his time and made sure he carefully communicated any expectations for time, cost and management. Adam patiently and accurately addressed any questions or concerns we had along the way and has even made himself available for the future inquiries during the building process. While Adam presented well thought out options and gorgeous designs, he was generous to give us space to make our own choices. Adam took the already exquisite “Blair” plan and not only increased the functionality for our family, but also made every change a work of art. His masterful talent and kindness to us have far exceeded anything we could have imagined!
Thank you,
The Johnsons

I bought a plan to modify to my lot size. Jake was great at listening to my vision and making the necessary tweaks. He even made some recommendations to fit the aesthetic that I never would have thought of to make the plan really come together.
