House Plans Services in Durango, CO

“Quite possibly the premier architectural firm in North America for Log and Stone/Rustic Elegant and Alpine genre architecture. Creative, pushes the envelope from a design, technical and creative standpoint. Works well in all areas of the design/building process.”

“Design of our new Corporate headquarters in Pagosa Springs Colorado. 40,000 square feet total. 80% office, 20 % warehouse. Delivered under budget in April 2007. Great folks to work with. Tracey Reynolds was the lead on the team.”

“I am a builder that has bid and built several Fa'nas projects and can recommend them without hesitation. As a builder, I can tell you that a good set of plans is the most important key to a successful project. The detail and clarity of plans ensures that the bids can be compared 'apples-to-apples', communicates what should be included in the bid, and ultimately defines the scope of work in the contract. Dale and Elizabeth's plans have been consistently excellent, allowing me to bid with confidence and build efficiently. Others can talk about their vision, style, or the aesthetics of their design, (this is also inspired in my opinion), but as a builder the most important thing is the accuracy and clarity. The money you spend on Fa'nas plans will be saved by lack of change orders and lack of mistakes.”

“Courtney King worked with us to make our dreams of designing our cabin a reality. She was able to sift through our wishes and scribbles to make something concrete and build-able. Courtney always surprised us with her insights and suggestions that were always better than what we had come up with ourselves. She's extremely knowledgeable and trained in her field, but she also listened and understood what we were trying to design. We ended up with a truly unique, one-of-a-kind design by using Courtney's talents. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an architect/designer.”

“Steve and his staff always go that extra mile with all his clients. They have tremendous pride in what they do and it comes through with every exquisite detail on their impeccable projects. No stone goes unturned. SCE Design is a very professional organization and a joy for us to work with!”

“I have used Terry and TMA Design not once, not twice but on three different custom homes we have built over the years. His ability to work with us using digital technology to know what views we would have was a big help, especially since we principally live over 400 miles away and depended on his local expertise of designing our dream home in the mountains. I would give him my highest recommendation.”

“Tim Flanagan came highly recommended and from our initial consultation, my husband and I were convinced that he was the architect to see through our extensive remodel of a barn and stables into a full-fledged guest cottage/second main house. Tim is an attentive listener and quickly perceived what we wanted, but it wasn't just "lip service." Tim knows his craft and communicates with great ease and is never condescending. Tim understood the language of the existing buildings on our property and effortlessly applied and updated it to accommodate the needs of this new build-out. We made hardly any changes or comments on the first set of plans submitted to us, and our project proceeded quickly and efficiently thanks to the great groundwork that Tim and his team provided. Plus he designs really gorgeous staircases!”

“Trevor has been great to work with, going above and beyond the typical contractor duties. He was always helping in areas where we needed an extra hand. His communication skills are excellent. He was committed to getting the project completed in a timely fashion with attention to detail. I highly recommend Trevor for any contracting project you may have.”

“In the summer of 2010 we were ready to start working with an architect to design a custom timberframe home that incorporated several green features and energy saving components. we were living in Maryland at the time but wanted to build the home in Missouri. We found TMA Architects online and contacted Tim Montgomery about setting up a meeting in St Louis. He had extensive experience in timberframe design and had already worked on other green projects. We told him what we wanted and over the course of the next several months, while we searched for a good lot, Tim delivered drawings and plans by email. He even brought along the perfect custom home builder for our project. Tim and Steve Horn, of Mastercraft Design & Build, worked seamlessly to design and build the home we had been dreaming about for 20 years. Tim was creative and knowledgable, timely with his design plans and generous in showing us many examples of designs to consider. There was much back and forth on details and Tim handled our many requests professionally. He was involved in all phases of the finished product from the time excavation began to the day we moved in. Tim Montgomery was a big part of the realization of our dream home. Even though we had previously owned four homes, we had never worked with an architect or custom home builder. Our experience of working with Tim was very positive and we would recommend him to anyone interested in hiring an architect.”

“It is an absolute pleasure working with Clark & Chapin. I am a general contractor and I assisted my clients during their design professional review process. We met with numerous architects, many of whom had great ideas, experience, or fit within the budget. That said, only Clark and Chapin were able to accomplish all three. Fast forward 2 months after breaking ground on our significant Seattle rebuild. The colloboration with Clark and Chapin is exceptional. The builder (me) and the clients are both ecstatic with the level of service they have received. As a builder one of my prinary frustrations with most projects is the lack of details in drawings and design decisions I have to make onsite/in the field because the architect and the structural engineer make many assumptions without fully understanding the structure. Dustin (one of the principals) spent enough time in the beginning to make sure Clark and Chapin had extremely accurate dimensions, provided updated drawings as the project progressed and ALWAYS answers the phone/emails or returns calls quickly thereafter. I've been able to connect other new clients with Clark and Chapin and have consistently received the same positive feedback. What a great team! Ben Berman Owner BermanBuilt LLC”
