I have worked with John Battle on four different projects over the years. He is a great listener. He knows how to take my good ideas and turn them into great plans. He is creative, tasteful, and efficient. And most importantly, he is high integrity, honest, and a pleasure to work with. I would never consider working with another architect.- Tony D

John Battle and the team have designed and overseen the construction of three houses for us, and we are currently using his firm to build a fourth. John excels at translating a vision into amazing places which have been the sites of some of our family's happiest moments. He remains flexible and responsive while carrying a strong point of view. We would highly recommend Battle Architects.- George C

I have worked with John Battle and his firm for a number of years completing more than a dozen projects together. All of the projects have been very successful adding to John's and my list of happy clients. As a builder, I value John's candor and straightforward approach to construction challenges. John brings a savvy eye for design and a weathered pragmatism for working with the realities of residential construction. From my vantage point as a builder, I have always seen John be frugal and wise with clients' budgets and yet willing to ask questions and genuinely listen for answers. I like the fact that John does not have a set group of design solutions; on each of the dozen projects we have built, John has drawn unique ideas and eagerly explained why this particular idea is right for this particular client and this particular house. This keeps us on our toes and always eager to see what the next SK drawing will reveal.- Platt Builders

My husband and I hired John to design our new kitchen addition. It was an interesting challenge due to our location in the historic district and the difficult layout of our home. John captured both of our ideas in the proposed design which was fantastic and pleased the Historic Districts Commission as well. It was such a pleasure to work with John! Not only did he answer questions and solve design issues on the spot, he was able to help define the “big picture” and subtle nuances of our project. John also listened to both my husband and me and helped guide us through the design process of our renovation. We are absolutely thrilled with the result.- Lynne S

We have done two major projects with Battle Architects and both turned out fantastic and added value to our home. They don't take a cookie-cutter approach to their work. They worked with us to incorporate our ideas and desires and very often presented wonderfully creative and unique concepts. They then work closely with the builder to make certain that the deliverable matches the vision. I also admire the fact that they operate the business with low overhead. No fancy office space and perks that get passed on to the customer. If you want a high-touch, personalized approach to creating something truly unique Battle Architects is your architecture firm.- Andrew S

Our company has provided comprehensive Landscape Architectural services to Battle Architects, over the past seven years. John and his staff have been a pleasure to work with. They have exceptional sensitivity to site issues including site protection and preservation, siting of structures, site development and impacts, and alternative solutions to problem-solving. We have worked together from permitting/regulations, to conceptual designs, to construction, and through to completion. Their willingness to consider feedback and make plan adjustments has provided a smoother process for their clients, builders, and all team members. Of particular note, John and his staff have provided prompt responses and details for any and all questions, which is especially helpful during construction, when crews are already on site. I highly recommend them without reservation!- Pellettieri Associates, Inc.
