Architects in Diamondhead, MS

“HH Furr Architecture & Development designed and oversaw the construction of our 2800 sq ft, two-story home in Ocean Springs, MS. We love it! There are so many interesting architectural details--I smile every time I see it. This is our "forever home." Henry Furr is very easy to work with. We told him we wanted a home that made use of every bit of our space, and he gave us exactly that. Plus, he added lots of great details and features that I would not have thought of. And I felt so much more comfortable having him oversee the construction as well. All in all, working with HH Furr Architecture & Development was a great experience!”

“We met Don 2 years ago with ideas to build our dream home. He worked closely with us and our builder to adapt our home plan to our lot. Great attention was placed on preserving the natural landscape and numerous 100+ year old live oaks. Several months into the design, we totally changed plans and adapted a second home plan to the lot.Don was extremely easy to work with and provided excellent and comprehensive plans. He personally visited the site several times before construction and during construction to see how the lines on paper became our home.”

“The Concept: D A R K TEMPTATION The site selected had a good corner location which opened to the road. The walls were brought down and clear glasses adorned the beauty of the parlour . As initial concepts dark colour schemes were thought on, then with much thought and the ambience that we wanted to create the darker tones of brown and white were finalised even using their glossy versions at places. With the use of such tones at the end the warm lighting showed off clearly and gave a cosy chic look to the parlour . When one envisions an ice cream parlour , it is often bright and complacent with an inviting aura to it. But this Dairy Don refutes to all of one’s Notions of a snug cosy ice cream parlour with dark foreboding space . Yet, it manages to capture one’s interest spurring them on to discover a whole new world all together . The dark walls camouflage the activity within providing the necessary privacy . At the same time , with a specific use of chocolate colour , the ambience of the funky ice cream parlour is conspicuous. Since space was a matter of Concern specified by the client, the seating in the parlour is arranged along the periphery , imparting an illusion of space in an otherwise small area of 620sq.ft. The plan is basic with all its spaces well defined with respect to their function. The service and cash counter are planned in a way that screens the ancillary spaces of the kitchen and storage. When in a dark room, one often experiences a sense of fear. But once colour and light are introduced in the right measure, the space gradually turns magical, bringing out the child within just as an ice cream would. The idea must have been to urge the customer to be more accepting of what is not always the norm. The space has achieved its unique pattern of contrasts that ingeniously conflate. As one is consumed by darkness, colour emerge, transporting one to a whole new dimension where light weds shadow and subtly urge one to create a world of fantasy. And that fantasy comes with an idea of chocolate, that embellish the whole parlour and that essential idea of melting chocolate can be seen clearly from the ceiling to the walls. The colourful panels are adding essence to it. The client’s requirement was to have their own private space within the parlour which is the most exposed part of the parlour area situated on the entrance so company’s logo is used in such a way that gives intact privacy to the owner and on the other hand the brand name can be seen in the entrance. A linear passage can be seen through the entrance so it was thought to emphasize the rest of the area and the deck is created as a result of that bourn. Passage and deck is segregated with the adoption of dark brown and light grey wooden flooring accordingly. The red chairs are adding an ambience to that light wooden floor and being eye catchy to the customers and at the same time it is breaking the monotony of dark space.”

“I could not recommend Watters Architecture more highly. Leah has an amazing talent for listening to what I (and other clients) want, drawing a picture and turning those conversations and pictures into examples of exactly what I want. As a builder/remodeling contractor, we have collaborated on projects as diverse as minor remodels, new home construction, major additions and renovations of existing homes, the construction of a commercial bookstore-coffee shop and total renovation/rebuilding of a 3000 square foot Hurricane Katrina-damaged church 400 feet from the Gulf of Mexico, a project that became a 7400 square foot church raised 14 feet in the air on carefully designed piers. Her vision and thorough attention to details made this $2 million project a very visible example of rebuilding on the Coast. We have worked with Leah regularly for over 5 years and I look forward to dealing with Watters Architecture on a continuing basis.”

We recommend highly Mr. Bavido's creativity and imaginative purpose for any project. Don't build your home without him.”
