John Henry Architect insists on a "...close collaboration with the client -- a shared vision, that moves from planning, functionality and budgeting to a final expression of flawless massing, studied proportion, and meticulous detailing, where the skilful handling of materials invokes a timeless composition, a true work of art."

We are pleased and encouraged to offer custom Period Style residential design services for luxury homes and villas/ estates in the United States and internationally. Our premier custom home architectural services are sought by those wishing World Class results in traditional to contemporary styles. We can offer preliminary design only or continue into Permit Set documents, and can finish with detailed specifications. We believe interior architecture and decoration should be handled optimally by the prime architect. Our portfolio illustrates a remarkable range of work including European and Middle East influences ranging from Greco-Roman to Palladian and Renaissance Italianate, French Country Chateau to English Tudor, and Islamic traditional to Modern movement and contemporary.  We offer critiques of plans under development, can redesign floor plans and elevations only or continue into construction documents. We can also provide Design/Build turnkey packages.  Please inquire. Note that WE DO NOT offer Plan Books due to copyright issues.  We have limited floor plans available for viewing on this web but most of our stock plans can be examined at either our Austin, Texas or Orlando, Florida offices by appointment.  (Select plan designs are confidential and cannot be viewed.)

"We are moved by the evocative beauty in architecture, concluding that it must be the guiding principle, followed by function and integrity."
