Architect reviews in Austin, Texas

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Creative!

excellent landscape architect service

Studio Balcones is awesome! Great people doing great work.

Well, I may be a little biased, my daughter was just hired there....

If you’re neighbors to a jobe corral architects site, you can expect pallets of pavestone on your lawn with no explanation of how long they will be there or why... nobody will come to your door and ask to trespass on your land and store pallets over a weekend. You can expect a truck parked in front of your house until the job is complete and trash in your yard from the workers. Lucky you..

I tried reaching out to Jobe Corral Architects over phone and email, but never got a response. If you need actual help and communication, then you’re probably better reaching out to another architect.

Ada from Jobe Corral designed my kitchen. It is a small space and she was able to maximize space while maintaining functionality and always taking into consideration my specific needs and wants. This was a long distance project and still Ada was very involved in all aspects. I am really happy with the results and highly recommend Jobe Corral.

Worked with Ada and the team at Jobe Corral on two projects. Amazing work on all sides of the project. They are very innovative but listen during the design process, they help pick the right contractors and their follow through on any outstanding issues is second to none. We have worked with them for over five years and can say that they are the best. Will handle any issue you have, even dealing with the areas outside of their control. They helped us work through plans with reasonable neighbors on the project and found us a person to custom make a dining room table. Nothing they can't do.

Jobe Corral did such a high quality and AMAZING redesign of both of my bathrooms. My house was built in the 1950's, and everything is on a smaller scale. Ada did a fantastic job of making these small spaces more functional and so beautiful. Her vision was spot on, and her attention to detail is incredible! Ada was great about guiding me through the whole process and regularly checking in with me. I am enjoying my bathrooms so much...they are exactly what I wanted! Thank you Jobe Corral!

Jobe Corral Architects worked on the redesign of our master bathroom, living room and office space. We are incredibly happy with the results. Camille and Ada are a pleasure to work with and had so many creative and thoughtful ideas that made our spaces extra beautiful and functional. They also helped us to pick a great contractor. We are looking forward to working with them again on future projects!

Amazing architectural design firm. They are a pleasure to work with.

Great firm to build with. Creative problem solving and just all around nice people to work with.

Architecture design is most important factor in cost cutting in making the product efficient way and by energy saving .

We heard lots about this company and we are now going to meet this architecture soon for our upcoming condo project next year got my partner and us.

Collaborating with Alan & Peter from Barley Pfeiffer Architecture was a wonderful experience, where our visions aligned well to create a dream space for our clients!

Peter Pfeiffer recently spoke to a group of young professionals on Green Building Science. Not only has he been a pioneer in energy efficient building; he continues to inspire a new generation to be better. He is a trusted advisor to many and we are fortunate to have him in Austin.

Having lived in our Barley & Pfeiffer home for 7 years, I can now say that the architect's fee was the best investment we ever made. Our home is holding up beautifully and is so easy to live in. We added solar generation (it was solar ready) and a heater in the garage to protect the water treating system from unanticipated hard Texas freezes. An emergency generator is in the works. The house hasn't needed any other significant improvements and is easy to maintain. Thanks to Peter and Alan for a truly sustainable home.

We chose Barley & Pfeiffer to design a low maintenance, energy efficient retirement home for us in the Texas Hill Country. They seemed to have the best combination of art and science among the architects we interviewed, and although their fee seemed a little high at the time, the finished project is worth every penny. The layout is perfect for us... Alan and Peter took us through a typical day and laid out the home so that it flows with our lifestyle. The design process was very interactive and collaborative and we were able to incorporate many of the best features of the various homes we have lived in over the years. This took place over the course of several visits and correspondence while we were living overseas. Peter also helped us with selecting the builder, and B&P's comprehensive specifications helped ensure that we got what we contracted for. Oliver Custom Homes created a beautiful home just as we envisioned it in the design process. The stone work is outstanding and they stuck to the cost and schedule estimates. There is a lot of experience with energy efficiency built into the house, and that's reflected in low utility bills. The rainwater collection system has turned out to be great at a time when our area is experiencing significant ground water issues. As a project management professional I was a very discerning customer, and rate Barley & Pfeiffer 5 out of 5 for value delivered.

Engaging Barley|Pfeiffer to design our retirement home was one of the smartest things we've ever done. The build of our house is far superior to typical construction in our area. More important, though, this house fits us like a glove. Their comprehensive design process incorporated not just our taste, but how we live, from the room flow to the allocation of HVAC components, etc. Living and building four hours from their Austin office was a bit of a challenge, but we coordinated well and they were on site at all critical junctures. The level of detail in the plans and specifications far exceeded what one typically gets, even in a full custom build. This was critical to ensuring the energy efficiency of our home. We've been in the home for two years and continue to be impressed with how little we spend to heat and cool it. We highly recommend the team at Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture.

5+ stars for Barley/Pfeiffer! They turned my 50’s 1,350 sf ranch home into a 1,850 sf custom home that exceeds my expectations more than I could have thought possible. The process started with Alan sketching out ideas on a floor plan of the existing structure and working very creatively with what I wanted versus what was possible and affordable. Within a couple of months we had come up with a working version of the final plan and I had a series of meetings with Alan, Peter, Dillan and the rest of the team discussing all aspects of the renovation in great detail. The end result is an extremely comfortable, gorgeous house built on the more seasoned framing of the house's 50’s lumber and foundation and without sending the demolished house to the landfill. I love living in this house and that’s all thanks to Barley/Pfeiffer. Highly recommended.
