Timothy Fuller Architects

Its a sad exercise to look through the notes and images we carefully compiled for our first meetings with Tim. I keep searching our home for the details and style unique to us but never find them. Tim was fixated on his own tastes and architectural fads, and would not engage enough to generate ideas in line with what we actually wanted. In the end he essentially refused to implement our style because it didnt match his own taste, at times even insulting our choices. When we called attention to things we werent happy with, he would generally throw up his hands and leave it to us to find solutions. We did not get suggestions on many significant aspects of the design and ended up having to cobble something together with the builder. As a result our home lacks any coherent style and has almost no relation to what we envisioned at the outset. Attention to detail was poor and Tim exhibited a range of unprofessional behaviors like ignoring emails, forgetting to do promised work, making rude and condescending comments, and cutting off scheduled meetings early to head up north. He seemed to loose interest and essentially checked out of the project long before the build even started. The rare site visit was primarily devoted to addressing his oversights. A representative episode: a wood fireplace with hearth was one of the most important features of our house and was in the programming notes from our very first meeting. Whenever we tried to bring it up throughout the design process though, it was always something hed circle back to. He never did, and when we got to the build phase he seemed surprised to learn that we had a wood fireplace at all, apparently excusing the fact that hed forgotten a chimney. When this became clear I asked him to visualize some options, which he said he would do. He then forgot to do this, went on vacation, and left us with no chimney (theres now a section of aluminum pipe). Multiply this experience by virtually every aspect of a house and the result is incredibly disheartening.

Tim has a great personality and very easy to work with. He is fast to respond to all forms of communication. He did a wonderful job of eliciting our wants and desires and translating that into an architectural design. I appreciated that he challenged us in our discussions about the project so that we didn't get stuck with a singular focus. Overall a great experience.
