For starters, Mr. Vaughn is so much more than "just" an architect. Don't get me wrong, he's an…read moreamazing architect! But he's also an invaluable source of information. (I would say he's the most important tool in your toolbox - but "tool" has some negative connotations, nowadays.) In our first conversation, I just completely unloaded on him (verbally) about things I thought I wanted. He was able to take that information, and he asked some questions. From there, he began working on some plans. I will never know how he managed to create the impossible out of the random information I gave him, but he did. However, he did so much more than just design a house. We discussed the types of insulation to use. I asked questions about grouping all the plumbing together, and he said it could be done, but let's talk to a builder about the cost difference between grouping everything in a small area and positioning things where they made sense. I even asked a question about the location of the dishwasher. He let me know that dishwashers now are quieter than the ones from 25+ years ago, and if it were located on the far wall in the kitchen would be okay - the noise would not be loud enough to disrupt anything going on in the next room. One on the things that really stood out was his willingness and his eagerness to teach. I would ask questions, and he would logically walk me through what I was asking, provide documentation on ALL viewpoints on what I was asking, and allow me to make my own decision. Never once did he roll his eyes at me. (And I gave him PLENTY of reasons to do so!) He was never anything except gracious, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Somehow, he's managed to design a forever home for me, a home I can grow with, and grow old(er) with. Mr. Vaughn is truly the best asset you could ever have!

While traveling abroad last year we decided to locate an architect for our new house design, being…read morefirm communications would be via email since the cruise limits comms and that we only wanted by the hour rates. This wasn't our first rodeo! After much time wasted and many hassles, we finally did locate someone that listens, would cooperate with our wishes and quote by the hour. Nathan was not this one. Nathan & his group was the one that wasted the most time, insisted on an after hours phone conversation and never gave any prices at all until; we did things his way. Yelp had him listed as "Best Choice" on all the architect listings - now we find out that was a paid ad, nothing to do with Yelp research of quality

We started working with this firm in August of 2020. We were told, in writing, that the design…read moreprocess would take 4-6 months. In December of 2021 (16 months later), house plans were finally ready for bidding. They came in at THREE TIMES the budget we gave them. Then they wanted us to pay more so they could work on the design to get it more in line with original expectation. This was after we had already paid the firm $80,000. We decided that would be throwing good money after bad. When we did not agree to pay them more money, they cancelled our contract. Communication was ineffective, at best, but we often felt it was deliberately misleading.
