Rick Thompson - Architect (1/21/06)

After finishing architectural school in the mid 1970's I started restoring and reconfiguring houses in the old neighborhoods in downtown Atlanta. This period lead to a greater appreciation for the thought behind homes that were built in the early 1900's. I began designing new homes for many of the vacant narrow lots found in these older neighborhoods, basing the room relationships on what most people prefer today... rooms that are more open and with more storage. The Arts and Crafts homes that were built back then have always appealed to me. Both the Bungalow and Craftsman style homes have elements I have tried to incorporate into the exterior of these house plans.

In 1998 I stopped doing all custom work in order to handle the stock house plan business. I am now attempting to break away from modifying plans and referring that work to others, or encourage clients to have modifications made locally. I am hoping this will allow me to spend more time making new plans. This has always been a family run business, and now we are all semi-retiring:)

And semi-retiring (90% +/-) after many years of keeping the books, paying the bills, making sure things get mailed, and keeping the wheels oiled.

Skylar Brown Thompson - Assembly Control Coordinator

Almost everyday plans need collating, stamping, stapling, and boxing. Occasionally, Skylar is available and willing to get it done.

Zoe - Copyright Infringement Officer

With just a look, many who have stolen our plans without honoring our very hard work, have been brought to their knees trembling with sorrow and shame.
