Featured Reviews for Architects in Nashville, TN

Noble Johnson Architects
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 January 2013
“Working with Bill was fantastic. He listened to what we wanted, was responsive to our needs, and helped us successfully navigate a lot of tricky issues surrounding renovations on a historical home. We were thrilled with the results!”
Elite Home Design, LLC
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2015
“Chris developed our home plans for construction. He was creative and showed excellent skill as an architect. He delivered exactly what we were looking for, and was willing to work with our Builder to accept minor recommendations which enhanced the overall construction cost. His 3-D modeling system was very helpful to visualize just how the rooms will fit together. His pricing was fair and we are very happy customers. I would definitely work with him again.”
W. Michael Davis, Architect
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2018
“The first words that come to mind when describing Michael are honest and compassionate. He really was interested in designing our ‘dream home’. His knowledge and experience as an architect was invaluable. If this review included a scoring system of 1-10, he would easily score a 10. We consider Michael and his sweet wife as our newest ‘life long friends’.”
Fabl Design
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 December 2023
“Ty is extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He turns floor plans, elevations and sketchup around incredibly quick and all very thorough. Would definitely recommend him for any scale project you have!”
CDP Architecture, LLC
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 June 2015
“I've worked with CDP on several projects and without any reservations would recommend them. They are remarkable at translating a client's vision into a finished product that stays within the frame of constructability and the client's project resources.”
Michael Goorevich Architect
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2015
“Michael Goorevich has a rare combination of vision, persistence, and client advocacy. Throughout the process of designing, building, and appointing our new house - and it was our first rodeo - he was able to translate complex ideas and visions into a language and image we could understand. He was able to take our unformed, disorganized ideas and produce a beautiful, modern, functional house that our young family adores. The fact that it came on both beautiful and on budget... we were very, very satisfied.”
Clements Wimsatt Architects
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2019
“Working with Clements Wimsatt has been an absolute pleasure. I worked with them on several projects - a modern sunroom addition, two new construction homes, and a 10 unit multi-family building. I have been very satisfied with their overall work on each project and I am exceptionally happy with their attention to detail. The drawings they produce are very thoughtful and intelligible - to customers and contractors alike. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a creative, professional, and experienced architect. Five stars!”
McLelland Architecture
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2015
“After having seen several projects, residential and commercial, McLelland Architecture had completed, we decided to go with the expertise of Jon McLelland. What attracted me most were innovative ideas, an interest in sustainability and LEED, and the proven talent to combine older historical buildings with a touch of modern. We received expert drawings, as well as great recommendations for our residential kitchen remodel, a major undertaking in an older home that required the removal of load bearing walls and complete reconfiguration of the space. McLelland Architecture provided fantastic services, and we would hire them again in a heart beat - highly recommended!”
Carlton Edwards
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 January 2013
“Carlton Architecture has a great team and are a pleasure to work with. They are easy to communicate with and easy to work with. They are knowledgeable about architecture, design and construction whether it's new construction or a remodel.”
John TeSelle
Architects in Nashville, TN
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2013
“John has nearly completed the plans for our new house and it has been a great experience working with him. He has a rare combination of both creative and analytic abilities. From a very general vision we initially provided, he was able to develop a high level plan in very few iterations, despite the fact we live out of state and had only a couple of face to face meetings. His use of 3D renderings was quite helpful in this process. The construction documents he created were extremely detailed and well thought out. Our builder was quite impressed and had no significant suggestions for changes. John's customer service ethic is also admirable. He is very responsive, patient, and always meets his commitments for deliverable dates and content. We break ground in a couple of months and based on our experience so far, expect John will work with our builder towards a successful project.”

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 Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN 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 Nashville, TN, 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 Nashville 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 Nashville, TN 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 Tennessee 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.

  • What is your fee structure?

  • What types of renderings (3-D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
