Custom home architect in Middle Tennessee

An architect turns your site, your priorities, and your budget into a house that can be permitted, priced, and built. On a custom home, Paul's work covers five stages: the first conversation, design, permitting, coordinating the engineers and other consultants, and staying involved while your builder builds.

How Paul works, step by step

His portfolio includes custom homes of many sizes in Tennessee and California.

For most single-family homes, Tennessee law does not require one. The state's architect licensing statute exempts one-family and two-family dwellings from the requirement that plans be prepared by a registered architect or engineer. A lender, a homeowners association, or a subdivision's design review may still ask for one.

A first conversation with Paul about your site, your priorities, your budget, and your timing. If you have not bought land yet, that is a good time to talk. It is free, and usually runs under thirty minutes by phone, or 1 to 2 hours if you meet by video or in person.
