Skiles Architect, PA

Albert Skiles designed our residence in 2004, moved into it in 2005. We did some "redesign" work in 2011. We could not be happier with our home today. Albert listened to what we wanted, took into consideration our home site, and worked with us until we were satisfied with the design. We were very pleased with Skiles Architect!

Albert and Lisa Skiles designed a home for our family in 2014/2015. As our project unfolded, we developed a respect for the Skiles ability to meld three crucial areas of design: 1) Our family's functional needs. 2) Our specific site. 3) Our overall philosophical ideas concerning "home". The Skiles were both creative and practical during the design process and were able to capture our family's personality in the final product. Albert and Lisa attended to every detail of the construction plans which allowed for an accurate bid and a successful building process. They were quick to respond to all of my requests for additional information, details or advice during the construction process. They are each talented architects who have unique experiences and backgrounds; together they make an unforgettable and enjoyable team. Five stars is not enough!

The Skiles Architects are an amazing duo that have designed our dream home. They are creative, innovative and exceptionally talented. We could not be happier with our new home and cannot wait to move in.

I have now worked with Skiles Architects for three projects. I would not use anyone else. They are attentive, inventive and forward thinking. We have worked together on remodels and new construction. They are timely, respectful and use my interests and taste in their designs. The most recent project included remodeling pool/patio, adding an outdoor kitchen before adding on a two-story structure including game room, kitchenette and full bath down and two bedrooms with baths upstairs, all to accommodated our growing family that is now full of teens!

I hired Skiles Architects to design a small (1350 sf) eco-friendly house on an infill lot. We wanted a unique and beautiful home in a modern style that used locally sourced or sustainable materials, minimized construction waste, and was designed to use minimal energy and water resources. For pictures go to http://www.dwell.com/house-tours/article/small-footprint-fayetteville I loved working with them. They "got" what we were trying to achieve, brought a strong knowledge of construction basics and environmentally friendly design to the project, were able to give the house the unique modern look we wanted, and continually monitored the building process. They were helpful, friendly, professional, met deadlines and budgets, and we worked well with them. For example, Lisa helped me source soapstone countertop material from a LEED certified site in VA. Albert used his knowledge of passive solar to design a bank of clerestory windows which raise the heat in our living area on a sunny winter day by 4-5 degrees yet keeps excessive heat out of the house in the summer. We highly recommend this company.
