It took us considerable time to select the right Architects to build our dream home at the beach. There are many options for architects in our area however Bishop and Smith was the right choice for us. The team at Bishop and Smith is easy to work with and truly listened to our ideas throughout the development process. Their designs are well thought out and innovative. The attention to detail and significant experience building beach homes resulted in the perfect family retreat in Avalon. It was a pleasure working with the entire Bishop and Smith team.
