Does Remnant Architecture do home renovations or additions?
If you have a major renovation or addition, we would be interested. Contact us if you are looking to add a room or two to your house, or need to reconfigure walls in your house.

Does Remnant Architecture modify drawings that were bought from a house plan website?
No, we like to develop the concept of your house with you so we find it difficult to work someone else’s design. Check and see if the place you bought the drawings from can modify them for you.

Will Remnant Architecture draw the house I’ve already designed?
No, a drafter might be a better fit.

Do I need an architect for my project?
In the state of Tennessee, single-family homes and duplexes are not required to have an architect design the project. For buildings with three or more living units, of one or two stories, and less than 5,000 square feet, an architect is not required for the project either. In these cases, it is up to you what level of service you are looking for. You could draw the project yourself. You could hire a drafter to draw the design you have in mind. Typically, people who hire an architect are wanting someone to help to create a design that is aesthetically pleasing and functional because it is not something that comes naturally to them.

What areas does Remnant Architecture serve?
Most of our work is in Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee, though we do some work in adjacent cities/counties based on the distance away.
