XMETRICAL, LLC

Working with Jordache Avery [Xmetrical] was an extremely enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend this firm for any type of building or remodeling project. My project was a tear down and rebuild with a construction condition to build the new home around an existing pool. The attention to detail, architectural quality control and creative insight was extraordinary. The design was formed through iterative architectural meetings with an emphasis on my home requirements and the feasibility of creative construction aspects such as the use of cantilevers. The use of exterior finishes such as the ipe wood, stone and distinct stucco color combinations brought the design together masterfully. The overall design and layout of the interior and exterior space worked well to create clean lines and levels throughout the home creating the perfect living space for entertaining. The finished product was a 3,500 sqr/ft modern home in Midtown Atlanta and I couldn’t be more pleased. Xmetrical is easily one of the premier architectural firms in Atlanta.

We worked with Jordache on the design of our new Lake Claire home. We had met him during one of the previous Modern Atlanta Architecture tours, as his own residence was on the tours and he was greeting people in his home. From walking through it, as well as some of his other projects, we knew his aesthetic was what we related to best (out of the others we'd considered). He was easy to work with and was well organized in his approach. We appreciated his manner, in that he proposed great ideas and wasn't offended or put off by our push back (though there weren't many things we pushed back on!). I'd recommend him both for the fact that his work is amazing, as well as he's a good person to work with overall.

My wife and I recently converted our one-story 1930’s bungalow into a two-story modern prairie. From inception to completion, from construction to finishes, through all the details of building a house, we didn’t make a better or more important decision than selecting Jordache Avery as our architect. Jordache has several characteristics that distinguish him as an architect. First of all, he is attentive. When Jordache came to discuss the project for the first time we slowly walked through our house and described our overarching aspirations for the project: big windows and lots of light, two distinct but joined living spaces, modern architecture that would fit into the neighborhood… Second of all, he has vision. Two weeks later Jordache returned with renderings that not only incorporated all of our feedback but exceeded our wildest expectations. We can do that!?!? To this house!?!? After several iterations of the plans, we worked out the details and then moved into the hard part of the project: selecting a builder and starting construction. It was during the (unavoidable) difficult moments that ensued that Jordache displayed another defining characteristic: he is a respected advocate that will go to bat for his customers. What we quickly learned during our renovation is that our builders had two customers: the Johnsons and Jordache. An influential architect doing multiple projects across the city, our builders had a vested interest in pleasing Jordache. When we had a difficult moment on the job, Jordache used his unique position to quickly and fairly resolve the issue. Finally, Jordache is a pleasure to work with. He’s patient, insightful and has a good sense of humor. Building a home is an incredibly exciting, difficult, creative, and taxing project. You want to go through this type of experience with someone you trust and enjoy. Jordache is that guy. Good luck!
