Here is a sampling of testimonials from our clients and builders. Please visit our Awards page as well.
”I wanted to mention that when Joy and I started finding David Loftus plans in our web searches, one of the things that I liked about his concepts was his use of classical design. When I was a student at the University of London, I would often take day trips to visit English country houses that were open to the public. The 18th Century houses, such as Chiswick House, often had the same Palladian elements that David Loftus drew on. It's wonderful to have this tradition available for 21st Century homes.”
--Rev. James Siddons
“I have been building ADI houses for over 20 years, starting in 1988. The classic curb appeal of ADI houses encourages home buyers to walk in my houses. The inside floor plan usually closes the deal.
My homes sell fast which is important to me. The interest from homes sitting for sale takes too much from my bottom line profit.
--Doug Haymore, Home Builder, Kennesaw GA.
We would like to thank you for the wonderful experience you have provided to us. It started when we were looking for something wonderful to raise our family in. We began with magazines, but as my husband and I are both computer literate, we quickly turned to the Internet for our search.
There are many websites, but your site is very organized, easy to maneuver and has many photographs depicting what others have achieved through building their homes using your plans. We love the photos that let us envision how our future will look.
Your plans are different, and they all seem to have a historical permanence that other plans cannot achieve. We were also impressed that your plans keep in mind that the kitchen/family area is the heart of the home. From the smallest to the largest of your plans, you keep these areas open and light. I can look at any of your plans and can imagine my family living there. You have managed to make all your houses so warm and friendly, they go beyond mere shelter. Some may be suited to grand formal entertaining but at the very core they all are about family living.
The builder was correct when he told us that you provide really good plan modification capabilities, and your staff is considerate and professional.
Archival Designs is one of the rarest companies that I’ve seen where every house, estate, and castle has a unique and distinctive flair – each is different, unlike other’s plans from other organizations which are very repetitious – cookie-cutter like. I praise you and the design team, and I am extremely glad to have found you! I would refer your company to all those looking to build their dream.
--Michael Waterford
I want to thank you for your homes. I found your website only after writing a thank you to another website about your plans. I enjoy looking at home plans, it is something like a hobby for me. I have 50+ home plan books and I have yet to find plans as impressive as yours. All of your plans that I have looked at, from the modest to the very large are all visually different and very appealing. So many home plans are so afraid to be different in any way.
Your plans are different, they all seem to have a historical permanence that other plans cannot achieve. Sussex House, for one, is amazing. Maybe it will jolt some people into taking more risks when designing their homes. Something that stands out from the other homes and yet will defy the onlooker from being able to say when the house was built is a rarity in this day.
I am also impressed that your plans also keep in mind that the kitchen/family area is (for most) the heart of the home. From the smallest to the largest of your plans you keep these areas open and light. I can look at any of your plans and can imagine my family living there. You have managed to make all your houses so warm and friendly, they go beyond mere shelter. Some may be suited to grand formal entertaining but at the very core they all are about family living.
--Russell Franzen
“My wife and I fell in love with Chateau Novella on first sight. Mr. Loftus and his delightful team have truly designed a masterpiece. Its stately presence is rivaled only by its functionality and flexibility, and its elegant lines are reminiscent of the finest Chateaus in Europe. We’re over the moon with the opportunity to build this lovely home and are presently finalizing the pre-construction details that must accompany a project of this scope.”
