I found Max's work on Pinterest while searching for inspiration for our to-be lake house. When seeing the homes, I assumed the images I found were examples of unattainable designs. To my pleasant surprise, I emailed him and he responded within a few hours! I cannot believe that we are getting a dream-pinterest style home by the architect himself. Working with Max has been nothing shy of professional and so easy, considering we live thousands of miles away.
We had a lot of set-backs and restrictions due to being on a lake, so we chose to get a custom design. His communication is incredible, and was extremely patient in working with us to make sure we get everything we want. I am so happy I found Max, I would recommend him to anyone looking to build their dream home!

Max has amazing plans to begin with. But we wanted to modify the Asheville Mountain plan and were just tickled to death with how fast, Max was able to turn around our changes and how well he captured our desires - from just a few phone calls! We live in Asheville, NC and are building on a lake nearby. We are so excited to see Max's vision coupled with our additions come to life. I'd recommend ANYONE looking for a great Lake or Mountain plan to talk to Max FIRST.
You can hire a local architect and spend a ton of money, but you won't get a better result. Max builds the homes he designs, so they WORK. not just look good on paper. Thank you Max, for giving us the opportunity we've been waiting years for.

Max listened very carefully to our wishes, and then was able to take an existing house and transcribe what we were asking for and create a new house from it. His talent made our house look totally different. We loved his creativity.

I showed my family the extra pictures you sent me and they could not get over how gorgeous the house is. Once again, thank you so much for everything. You are extremely talented and we cant wait to work with you!!

I have been looking at your designs on the internet for the past couple of years. No matter where else I look, I keep coming back to your designs due mostly to their simplistic, practical layouts and the use of natural materials that blend well in a rural lake setting.

We love your designs. We are torn right now, actually between this one and the Appalachia Mountain house plan. You do a great job connecting with the outdoors.

Max has great home plans. More importantly, you're not "alone" in this process. Max has been incredibly helpful and quite accommodating as we embark on our third building endeavor in 8 years! Who does that??!! Well, we do..and with Max, we feel as though we have a great resource on our side. Ill tell you, I'm blown away thus far by the "effort" Max has exhibited in efforts to help and make us happy. On the fence? Give Max Fulbright Designs a chance. We did and are incredibly thankful we did.
