Our Approach
About us
At Foothills Architecture, we’re located in the piedmont region of northeast Georgia—intentionally nestled away from the city’s fast pace so we can focus on what we do best: designing thoughtful, meaningful homes for the rural and small-town communities we call home. As a family-owned and operated studio, we bring a friendly, energetic, and hands-on approach to every project, building lasting relationships with the people we serve.
Our passion lies in custom residential design, specifically new construction. We believe a home should be more than just a place to live—it should inspire, support daily life, and reflect the spirit of its surroundings. Every design we create is carefully crafted to be both functional and deeply personal, giving each home a unique sense of place.
In today’s residential market, there’s often a frustrating choice between bland, mass-produced stock plans and high-end firms that prioritize prestige over people. At Foothills, we’re carving out a different path. We aim to make high-quality, custom design accessible to a wider audience—offering honest, authentic architecture that meets real needs without compromising on creativity or character.
Collaboration & Culture
At Foothills Architecture, we believe great design starts with great collaboration. Our goal is to make the design process not only seamless, but truly enjoyable—from the first conversation to the final construction drawings. We prioritize the client experience above all else, walking with you step by step to ensure your vision is fully realized.
Every project is as unique as the people behind it. That’s why we take a personalized approach to design—one that responds thoughtfully to your lifestyle, your site, and your goals. We’re passionate problem-solvers and active listeners who genuinely love what we do. Whether it’s navigating budget constraints or uncovering creative solutions, we’re here to make sure design challenges become design opportunities.
By staying intentionally small, our studio ensures that every client works directly with a licensed architect throughout the entire process. This hands-on, one-on-one approach guarantees continuity, care, and a finished product that feels both personal and purposeful.
Process & Approach
At Foothills, we treat every project as an evolving journey—an iterative design process where each concept brings us one step closer to your ideal home. Using advanced 3D modeling tools, we’re able to bring your vision to life in vivid detail, long before construction ever begins. Clients can virtually walk through their home, experiencing spaces from a first-person perspective and gaining a clear sense of both exterior aesthetics and interior flow.
This immersive approach empowers you to confidently understand every detail—from rooflines and window placements to room layouts and finishes. Our goal is simple: no surprises, just clarity and confidence as we turn your ideas into reality.
Our 3D visuals and detailed drawings bring each project to life in a way that traditional 2D plans simply can’t. They allow clients to see and experience their future home with clarity—helping them fully grasp design concepts that can often be overlooked in flat construction documents. By pairing these powerful tools with our passion for exceptional client service, we create an experience that’s both engaging and empowering. The result? Clients who feel confident making informed decisions—every step of the way—knowing their vision is being realized with care and precision.
