Architecture
Blank-page custom design, not a catalog plan with a moved wall. Tony listens to how you live, then draws a house that can actually be built to the budget.

One architect.
One builder.
One contract.
Most clients hire a designer, then hunt for a builder who can actually construct the drawing. Tony is both. He holds an architectural degree from NC State, has been a licensed architect since 1992, and is one of a handful of accredited Master Builders from the North Carolina Home Builders Association.
The office sits at 110 Woodlawn Dr in Clarksville, Virginia, on Kerr Lake. From there the practice has been the premier custom home studio on Kerr Lake and Lake Gaston, with work across North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida.

“The craftsmanship was excellent and Tony, you sir impressed us so, you treated that house like you were personally going to live in it. Everything was done right.”Wright
Practice
The full practice
How a house gets made here.
Custom construction
Site-built homes from foundation to finish. Complex roofs, lake elevations, and interiors are drawn to be built — not handed to another contractor after the design is done.
Green building
Certified Green Professional detailing: TechShield, argon glass, enclosed crawls, radiant floors, and solar when it earns its place on the project.
