When we purchased Stonehurst, a historic home and bed & breakfast in Midtown Atlanta, we wanted to…read moremake sure our planned extensive renovation was not only true to the historic nature of the 1896 home but also met Southface and Earthcraft House's green building standards. In working with re:FORM we found an essential partner - their experience with historic home renovation and expertise working with the Georgia State Historic Preservation Division to ensure we received historic tax credits was invaluable. Collaborating with us from re:FORM was owner and award-winning architect Stacie Monroe, who beautifully coordinated our design and build ensuring that the result exceeded Earthcraft standards. Stacie handled the exterior architecture and her partner Erin Christman worked with us on the successful incorporation of modern touches inside the home. With re:FORM's help we were able to include important eco-friendly improvements like icynene whole-house insulation, solar panels for generating hot water, and state-of-the-art water harvesting and grey water systems without sacrificing any of our home's character defining features.

She took our nebulous but lengthy ideas about what we wanted and helped hone our focus into a result that we could not have imagined ourselves. We are thrilled with the design. She keeps a tight eye on cost and her deep knowledge of the business, what it takes to build as well as practical things like livability and energy savings have given us a better result through a remarkably smooth process. You expect architects to know designs and plans, and she knows those well, but where Stacie stands out and the real joy in working with her is her personality. She is a blast to work with and has an amazing ability to artfully use her knowledge and experience to listen, bring to life and then evolve projects into plans and construction that make every side of your brain happy. We would enthusiastically recommend Stacie to anyone who is considering any type of rebuild, remodel or new home construction.

Definitely worth meeting and talking to if you want to build/remodel a home in the modern vein.

The word that best describes my experience with TaC Studios is "perfect". My partner and I decided…read moreto build our dream house together. The only thing that we absolutely knew before we began the process was that we wanted something modern and "green". An architect friend of mine suggested that we contact TaC Studios. We had never worked with an architect before so we had no idea what to expect. From our first meeting we knew that we had made the right decision. Cara and Jose provided us with practical but gentle guidance throughout the whole process. They took our wish list and turned it into a house that continues to exceed our expectations. At every step they made us think about that way we live our lives and how our house could be designed to make our lives easier. They asked us to picture ourselves in the space and imagine what it would be like to actually live in it. The result is a home that is not only beautiful but practical. "Practical" is not a particularly sexy word in the world of architecture but when it comes to home design it is essential to creating a space that meets the everyday needs that everyone takes for granted. From the amount of natural light that illuminates the space to the location of the dishwasher in relation to the cabinets, Cara and Jose thought of everything. We could not be happier with the results. The process did have its aggravating moments but Cara and Jose were there with us throughout the process. We absolutely could not have gotten through it without them. I actually think they should add "construction therapy" to their resume! I can recommend them to anyone building a house from the ground up without reservation.

THEY CALLED ME BACK!…read more Out of the ten or so companies I reached out two, I didn't hear back from most of them, had an odd conversation with one, and one didn't do the sort of project I needed done. So our house had an extension built on by someone's cousin who may have seen a Youtube video on it once, and now we're dealing with a whole slew of issues that need addressing. They have a lot of projects lined up, so they have a bit of a waiting list, but we were able to have our issues inspected and we're getting an estimate soon on the repairs. Absolutely thrilled with the customer service. Darri Washburn has been just a breath of fresh air. She's kept us in the loop throughout everything, taking extra time to explain things that I didn't understand. The invoices sent didn't have any surprise charges on them and have been a fair price. I am very happy with how this company is taking care of us and intend on going to them first for all future renovation and construction needs. Fan for life.

Needless to say, I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I told Jeffrey before work began that I wanted to make no decisions and that came to pass thanks to his detailed plans. The contractors worked from those plans and I have only the highest praise for them, too. Jeffrey's plans combined three rooms into one large space and included replacing the cellar stairs (where I had to duck my head going down) with a circular stair case that is just perfect. The final result was far removed from my initial discussion with Jeffrey but his design was so perfect that I quickly deferred to him on virtually everything he wanted to do. He included a large island in the kitchen which I had not envisioned and behind it he added a three-pane glass sliding door that lets a ton of light into the room and that I use all the time to get to my deck. He also designed a garden window that projects outward by about eighteen inches and is full of plants. I first learned of Jeffrey because he designed the kitchen of my next-door-but-one neighbor. I loved it and I love mine even more. I'm so happy with the result. The work also included a new floor in the attic space and opened up the den to the new kitchen.
