Spry Architecture

We worked with Eric to design our custom home in Phoenix. We were drawn to Eric's clean lines and efficient use of spaces. Eric's passions for modern architecture and client service are at the forefront of all he does. Eric was collaborative and thoughtful, listening and applying our feedback and providing his years of experience in his responses. We also engaged Eric for construction admin services, which we found invaluable throughout the build process. Eric's attention to the crucial points of the build, written feedback to the contractor, and problem solving ability is second to none. Our home turned out beautiful, functional and perfect for our growing family for years to come.

To say he isn't the best would be a crime. He is transparent, fun to work with, always working in our crazy ideas, and making a completely functional home for us. We have three kids with autism who receive therapy so having different spaces is important and he made that. Plus we have odd habits and wants and they are all in the house. Outside of that he is truly on the journey with you. We talk to him consistently and get weekly updates. I always know Eric will be there any time that something comes up for all his clients. I appreciate that when he met us he took all of who we are and put it into our forever home. We interviewed multiple people and he hands down beat them all. Also, he makes sure the project is moving forward. But is helpful with us being patient and not stressing because he is always following up. This allows me to just trust his process. I seriously could go on forever but I just can't say enough great things.

Spry Architecture worked with us to develop plans to build our house in Az. We had explored options and ideas for a long time on our own, and were delighted when Eric came to us with a solution we loved. The most important part of any construction project is the planning process. We bought the lot to build a single family home with beautiful views of the city and mountains. Throughout the entire design process, Eric took into account the various aspects that make a home truly livable and to ensure we design the house around our needs. He Explored and provided options before final design, each time going above and beyond our expectations. He has stayed with us through rough times that we had with our initial builder and has held our hand since the beginning. He super friendly and really easy to work with. Eric is very knowledgeable and helped us tremendously with our house. We whole heartedly recommend Spry Architecture!

SpryArch is the perfect fit for our team. As a custom home builder with a discerning client, I was on the search for a competent architect that had a creative edge with a flavor of design that was daring, but fitting. - One that will listen to the desires requested and respond with confidence and not cockiness. - Someone that is easy to get along with and will answer the phone. - I needed an architect that would assemble a team of engineers to properly design structural integrity without influencing the design. - This architect needs to design the home to take advantage of views while creating privacy where desired and allow the inside feel like it is part of the outside environment, all while allowing daily life to flow throughout home with comfort and efficiency. - I was on the search for an architect familiar with Building Science, the products and processes used to build a Passive home. - More than anything and often overlooked, I need an architect that will design a set of plans that a 6th grader can understand, because if the plans are not legible, it doesn't sense, or there is inconsistency, then the design will not be correctly interpreted out in the field by the men and women that build the home. SpryArch has been found to be the architect our teem needed and has greatly satisfied our clients. We look forward to many projects to come. Thank you, SpryArch

Although we have not build our dream house yet, the dream hasn’t faded. I have to say, even though it's been quite awhile since we worked with Spry, I think about Eric and my house that he designed often. To say he was the most talented architect, doesn't come close to describing him. He is kind and he never forgot that it would be our house. I know that probably sounds funny, but most of the architects I interviewed were not really listening to us. When I talked with Eric though, the conversation was completely different. I felt an instant connection with him and I knew immediately he was the right person to take our ideas and make them a reality. We love, love the design and think the world of Eric. One day, I will build my house and give you all the virtual tour:)

Every once in a while we get to work with some really talented people and Eric is one of these people. Mod Haus has been designing and building modern homes in the Phoenix area and has rarely taken on the projects of others. We were first introduced to Eric through a client who had Eric do his CD's and had requested we build the home. After some deliberation we decided to proceed and have found Eric to be extremely talented is his designs and in his detail. So many architects don't work through some of the complex problems that modern designs can bring about but Eric goes above and beyond. Mod Haus believes this so much that we have started hiring Eric to design some of our projects. We highly recommend you interview in your search!

When my wife and I relocated to Phoenix we found an older house on a lot that really appealed to us. Our intention was to remodel and upgrade the 1962 era house then on the lot. After looking for ideas on Houzz.com we came across examples of the work of Spry Architecture. Those examples showed creativity and displayed the kind of modern look we were interested in. We contacted Eric Spry and met with him to discuss our project. After that first meeting we decided to hire Eric to design our remodel. That remodel eventually turned into a new build. So we had the benefit of both remodel plans and a brand new build design from Spry Architecture. Eric's approach to designing a home or a remodel is based on his understanding of his clients. We spent a couple meetings discussing what we were looking for, what careers we were in, our interests and how we enjoyed spending our time. Eric made it clear that he works to design a home with the client's personalities in mind. What we liked about Eric was his commitment to designing a home that fit our needs, interests and preferences, not necessarily his preferences as an architect. And while Eric had strong feelings about various features and design elements, he always stressed that it had to be right for us. Another reason we rated Spry Architecture so highly was Eric's continuing involvement in the process from planning through construction. He didn't just hand us a set of plans, but he continued to meet as needed, and conference with the contractors and subs to arrive at solutions for any problem that came up during building. We felt our project was important to Eric, as much as it was to us. And whether it was an issue with a design element or with the city planning department, Eric was always available to offer help and assistance. Finally, we appreciated the honesty and ethical approach to the work of designing and building a new home. Eric connected us to a contractor as honest as he was. We felt by the end of the build that we knew exactly how much our house cost to design and build. We got some of the best sub contractors in the business, and while this project was by no means trouble free, we always felt we had people on our side who could find a solution. And they always did. All in all, we couldn't have been happier with the work Eric Spry did on our behalf. His design was outstanding, we love the creativity and modern feel to our new home, and we feel we've made a contribution to the city and our neighborhood.

I’ve worked with Eric on a number of projects, he is a talented architect. Eric provides quality plans with follow up or assistance when needed throughout the project. I recommend Eric’s services to all my clients in need of architectural work.

Eric was the mastermind behind our contemporary dream home in North Scottsdale. We had interviewed numerous well known architects in the area with incredibly impressive resumes. Eric was the last of the interviews and we knew immediately that he was the person we wanted to work with. Eric spent a good amount of time with us talking about what we wanted and did not want in our home. He clearly listened very well because his very first concept drawing was just about as close as one could come to the final design. Over the next few months of tweaking the design, we spent a good amount of time meeting in person and talking over the phone regarding the more intricate details of the home. With so much of Eric's time spent listening and really putting his talents to the test, the final design couldn't have been more "us". Following the painless design stage, came a very long and brutal building phase for us. Between HOA design review committee issues, City of Scottsdale red tape and beyond frustrating experiences with our builder, Eric was always there for us. He truly went above and beyond his realm of responsibilities by going to bat for us on all fronts that were presenting significant challenges to us. There were a few times we really felt that this project was going to never finish, yet Eric was always right there being as supportive and informative as he could. We have now been in the house for over a year and can say without a doubt that the house Eric designed with us has far exceeded our expectations. As I type this from our lofted office with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and desert landscape, I am reminded of just how incredible of a job Eric did mastering what we wanted and capturing the very best of what this piece of land could offer. With that said, my wife and I can not give a higher recommendation for Mr. Spry. He has the personality, sense of humor, professionalism and raw talent that make him a truly an outstanding architect.

Eric was great to work with and was always responsive to our requests and changes. From the start, he introduced us to the world of architectural design and taught us to look at things from a bigger picture. From circles and blobs on a piece of paper, Eric created what we hope to be a livable and beautiful home that will have a unique and timeless look.

We our building a new home with the help of Spry Architecture. My wife and I have found it has been a pleasure working with Eric. He has good communication skills and helped us get our ideas onto paper in spite of our repeated tweeks. It is a difficult building lot and we had specific needs he had to address. It may not be as architecturally clean as Eric would have liked, but we made it suit our needs. We are at the City of Phoenix design review process now and are looking forward to a continuing great relationship. Some of his suggested design consultant subcontractors have been excellent to work with also. We are looking for builders now in the Ahwatukee area.

I have worked with Spry Architecture many times over the past few years. Eric's service and professionalism have always been of the highest quality. Eric is also doing some the best design in the Valley. I would highly recommend Spry Architecture.

I am a Michigan resident and hired Spry Architecture to design an addition to my existing home. After a short consultation Eric got right to work on our plans. Within a short time he had preliminary sketches that met our expectation and completed the final plans. The addition was perfect for our expanding family and met all the needs we asked Eric to consider, even the budget. Our neighbors have commented on how the addition blends in so well not only with the existing house but also the surrounding landscape. Thanks Spry Architecture for making this a great experience.

Best architectural firm for single family residences, hands down. I have built in 4 states. Eric has made the process a breeze compared to my experiences in Santa Monica, Seattle, and Providence. If you want professionalism, contact Spry Architecture. I will be using him as long as I remain in AZ.

AEA Plumbing, Inc., Colleague: Spry Architecture is one of the most professional and detail-oriented architect firms I have worked with. I had the opportunity to work with Eric on a custom home located in Scottsdale, Arizona. His knowledge of materials, scheduling of various construction trades, and the ability to research and locate specific project-related products, all while keeping his customers' budgets in mind, is representative of his expertise and dedication to his customers. I am looking forward to a long and fruitful working relationship with Spry Architecture.

I've worked with Spry Architecture on a number of jobs. Their attention to detail and quality are outstanding. They have the ability to provide services for the smallest remodel to the largest custom home.

Spry Architecture is a custom home architect in every sense of the word. No detail is copied from other houses. No feature is copied from other plans. Everything is original, custom, well thought out, and intentional. It is a pleasure to work with Spry Architecture on the custom homes that they design.

After interviewing 4 individual Architects, I was most impressed with Eric Spry of Spry Architecture. Once my husband got over his incredible "ROCK STAR" good looks and his charismatic personality we were able to move forward and focus on our new house plans. As I described to him some of the features that I visualized seeing in our home he actually listened and took notes. He would add in his creative ideas to make my vision come to life !!! Not only is Eric imaginative , full of great ideas and a problem solver, he was also very easy to work with. I would definitely use his company again and will refer his Architectural services to others. Warm regards, Cheryl

Eric is a terrific talent who is not only knowledgeable, but well connected too. He is easy to work with, communicative and has a sense of humor too.

I'd seen homes he has worked on in the past and have known of his work for a while. Therefore, when I needed an architect on 2 projects I was going to start I contacted him and we have been working every since. He is extremely professional and it shows in all that he does. I am extremely happy with his work ethic, professionalism and knowledge.

Eric Spry is a very talented architect that produces beautiful, functional and affordable projects for his clients. As a builder, I find his drawings to be complete and efficient along with the elegant design.

After interviewing two Architects in 2010 for a Scottsdale remodel. Out of the two, one was pretentious, flashy, snooty, and had a totally different vision than I. Then walked in Eric Spry. Opposite of the other architects attributes. He walked into the home, was quiet, absorbing the home and it's bones. Taking it all in. When he spoke, he had the same vision as mine. We both saw the same things in the home. He really heard all my thoughts. We were on the same page. Eric Spry was hired. Eric brought my vision for the home to life and beyond. During the process, he was an excellent communicator. He is calm. He is humble. Highest integrity. Extremely talented. The whole remodel process was so much fun that I couldn't wait to start the next one with Eric. So, this time, I commissioned Eric to design and build a home on two acres of pristine desert in Scottsdale, AZ for me to live in. He has just finished the design of my new home. Again, it's BEYOND what I could have imagined. To say I feel lucky to have found Eric, is an understatement.

Eric and I go back to architecture classes back in freshman year high school '84. His passion for his craft has grown, unwavering. It has been a pleasure to know, and to now work with him professionally! Eric immerses himself in each project and "can't not" make each one his very best. It's just what he does! Anyone who gets to know him and work with him will be thrilled with their result, and they will also gain something else...a delightfully genuine, heartfelt friendship with one who loves what he does and loves to serve others with his talents, insights, and playful enthusiasm. Additionally, Eric has had a unique career path. Before going on his own, he was instrumental in working with Gordon Rogers, as collaborator, CAD draftsman and field representative. This means Eric not only knows how to make something wonderfully beautiful and functional, but he also knows how to assemble and build his visions in a marvelous and practical way in the real world, that elicits the enthusiastic cooperation of the trades that he calls upon. They know they are participating in a higher form of work, when they are on one of Eric's projects and it raises the bar for everyone involved. I can't wait to see more of his future projects!

I am currenty working with Eric on the construction of our family home. It has been a wonderful journey! Eric has both a great artistic vision for the home but is also a detailed construction manager. He has carefully managed the subcontractors, held down costs, and worked hard to keep everything moving along. He is also fun to work with and is a great communicator.
