Israel & Associates, Architects

Israel and Associates built a private home for us in 2004. To this date (2018) we get incredible compliments on our home. Also, since that time, the quality and the "curb appeal" of our property have not diminished. We would absolutely use George, Jamie, and their team again for any future project. Keeping the contractor to your price and terms is just one aspect to a great architect. Israel and Associates were invaluable to insure that the contractor did not substitute lower quality construction and parts as well. Like a good lawyer, real estate agent, or CPA, an architect is someone on your side to represent your best interest when you are building a home.

We have used Israel & Associates for several projects from 1995 to the present including remediation of an existing construction problem, as well as more creative projects (a basement apartment, complete renovation of an older home, addition of indoor and outdoor design features to our current home). This firm is the best on all fronts--creative vision, professionalism, enjoyable working relationship with clients, practical budget recommendations. Their renovation design of our 1950s ranch preserved the character of the home as it sits in an older neighborhood, while opening up the interior--achieving a timeless look that harmonized with the home's exterior as well as our traditional and eclectic furnishings. They are a pleasure to work with!

I asked George and Jamie in the Fall of 2013 to design my contemporary lake house. I had a lot of requests and a lot of details that were different from other houses. The result was just fabulous! It was very appealing as well as functional. Their ideas were superb and by far more than what I expected. They are very knowledgeable and they are among the finest architects to work with. I strongly recommend them and look forward to working with them in the future.

Israel and Associates is one of the finest architectural firms I have had the pleasure to work with. Excellent vision and attention to detail allow them to bring to life ideas most other architects wouldn't even dream of. Top notch work!

When we came to building and designing a beach house in Rosemary Beach we knew we wanted to push the fun factor and creativity of what a beach house could be. We choose the team at Israel & Associates just for this purpose. What we later found out was what unique, timely and detailed architecture and design they created while being open, friendly and professional. This relationship was extremely important as we were designing and building from a different state half way across the country. It was a wonderful experience working with them and I would hire them again!

Very impressive, very likely to recommend, excellent in every way, unique style, , gives extra thought to each detail!,, the best!

Jamie at Israel Associates is a star. Our custom Rosemary Beach home is unique, yet comfortable. The entire process was great. George and Jamie listened to our desires, concerns, and budget and designed a house that works well and fits the lot we purchased perfectly. The material choices in the plans have been right on target as well. Our coastal home is now 12 years old and maintenance has been minimal for the environment. Would definitely use Israel & Associates again...beautifully creative yet practical. Great combination.

George and Jamie designed several houses for us over a number of years in Rosemary Beach, Florida. We were very pleased with both the design and construction management services, and had a great time during the process. Highly recommended! Lawson Mabrry
