Our Approach
About us
Foothills Architecture is located in the piedmont region of northeast Georgia. Intentionally nestled away from the busy urban grind, our focus is on providing thoughtful & tailored design services for the rural & small town communities in which we live and work. Family owned and operated, we provide a friendly, energetic and hands-on partnership for each & every project.
The firm’s primary interest is in new construction residential design. We strive to create functional environments where people can live, work and be inspired while also providing a sense of place and uniqueness for the locations where our projects live.
In the residential design market there tends to be two extremes - either generic, overused stock plans or expensive high-end architecture firms focused on winning awards & pushing their own agendas. Our studio aims to close this gap in the residential design market by offering accessible & authentic design services that serve a wide variety of people and project types.
Collaboration & Culture
We strive to foster a collaborative experience that’s enjoyable and engaging for each client’s needs. Client experience is our highest priority, and our mission is to intentionally walk with you through each step & decision of the design process so that your project vision can become a reality.
No two projects are the same. Our studio provides a design approach that is responsive to each individual clients lifestyle, building and site. We are great listeners and problem solvers that truly love what we do. We understand the importance of balancing budgetary frameworks without sacrificing unique and creative design solutions. Our studio is intentionally small, allowing every client to collaborate directly with a licensed Architect from start to finish, ensuring continuity and consistency for every project.
Process & Approach
At Foothills, every project is an iterative process where each design concept aims to continuously improve and push a project closer to the desired outcome. The 3-D programs we use in our office allow us to quickly and effectively walk clients in and around their designs throughout the process, providing first person views of the exterior concepts and interior spatial relationships throughout the project. We want clients to confidently understand each and every exterior detail and interior space in their home prior to the start of construction.
Our 3-D visuals and drawings bring each project to life and help lead to a better understanding of design concepts that can oftentimes be overlooked when only seeing projects through the lens of 2-dimensional construction drawings. These tools, paired with our passion for an unrivaled customer service experience, allow our clients to make well-informed decisions that meet their goals for the project.
