Hutch Johnson WHJ Design
Architects in Halifax, VA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 April 2014
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Hutch on various projects spanning a number of years. On two projects, I was the owner’s representative/project coordinator, so I have seen him through the eyes of a client. On others, I’ve worked on the contractor’s team as selection coordinator, and have seen him through the eyes of a peer. I also work for Hutch as a bookkeeper, so I see him as a business man, and I watch how he relates to all members on any project team. Hutch is not a brand to sell. He is a creative listener who delivers what the client dreams of or requires. When reality sets in for the client, he helps harness the scope so that it fits the budget, but maintains the superior quality of design and function that are important to the client, regardless of scale. I’ve also worked on projects with other designers. When on a “Hutchless” project, one thing I notice almost immediately (and miss terribly) is Hutch’s ability to know how a space will be used or lived in. His perception and foresight are far superior to many other designers. In addition, he knows how materials will function and esthetically relate to each other, so that spaces just plain work — and they look fabulous in the process. Amazingly, with such focus on the design and esthetics of a project, he is forever cognizant of the structural integrity of a building. He knows what works, and what doesn’t. Hutch is very good at guiding his clients through the process, which can be overwhelming. He’s realistic, he issues alerts when needed and he will do what the client insists upon in spite of his better judgment, so long as it does not produce an inferior or dangerous structure. I look forward to working on more projects with Hutch, and to referring him to anyone who needs a thoughtful professional who is really good at what he does and loads of fun to work with. He takes his work seriously, but is anything but stogy!!”

“Sara at 4/1 designed a screen porch for our 1920s bungalow. The resulting design perfectly matches the house, down to the tiniest detail. During construction, Sara worked closely with the contractor to ensure correctness and was available to us for consultation on any and all details. In addition to being very skilled and very professional, she was a pleasure to work with. We thoroughly enjoyed the process and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

“Our experience working with Reid was fantastic, from start to finish. He is thoughtful, professional, creative, intelligent, dedicated, hard working, trustworthy and a really good person all around. He will listen carefully to your ideas and needs for your project, has tons of good ideas of his own, is excellent with questions and advice and helping you navigate your way through any type of project. If we ever have a future project we will definitely work with him again, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone.”

Willis P (Bill) Lawrie AIA
Architects in Halifax, VA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 January 2016
“Working with Mr. Lawrie has been a pleasure. Not only did he listen to our wants but incorporated them into our design, often with multiple redesigns. He understood where we wanted to go on design and was able to add bits that reflected our desires while keeping a working sensible home. His vast experience (40+ years) as an architect allowed him to design a tight, energy efficient home. We have a young family, so designing a home for now and the future was very important to us. His ability to understand these usability elements and then blend in the style we wanted was critical. Mr. Lawrie walked us through the pros and cons of each part and gave us the choice. Additionally, his practical knowledge helped us to decide where to allocate more money for extra benefit as well as where we could save money with little or no change in performance or design. Overall our experience was extremely positive and we wholeheartedly recommend him. We would hope that everyone would have as an enjoyable experience with their architect as we did with Mr. Lawrie.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Halifax, VA also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Halifax, VA who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Halifax, VA, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Halifax locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Halifax, VA architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Virginia subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
