Willoughby Design, LLC

In the Fall of 2020, we hired Todd to design an addition to our home. We thought we had a strong idea of what we wanted to tie the addition into our existing home with like and kind elements. Todd impressed us with the design and creativity that he brought to our project. His expertise and professionalism took it to the next level. He was responsive to our questions and feedback and has been patient with us as we worked through ideas to get the design we wanted. His attention to detail in every aspect of the project was fantastic and enables the success of our project. We are currently in the construction phase and it is already apparent that the plans Todd developed are exactly what is needed. Moreover, the few times our contractors have posed questions, it only took a more thorough review of his plans to resolve them. Thank you, Todd, for helping us realize our dream project.

We have been working with Todd Willoughby since early in 2018. We had purchased a piece of land along the Chesapeake Bay and wanted to build a small but thoughtfully designed contemporary garden cottage for our retirement. After speaking with a number of architects we chose Todd and we have been very happy with that decision. Over several months, we worked have closely with him through the several design phases, culminating in a very complete set of construction documents, that we are now using for bidding. Throughout the process, we have found Todd to be personable, smart, perceptive and creative. He has been able to translate our ideas into working drawings that one of the contractors noted was called the most detailed he has ever seen. Todd has captured our vision for an environmentally friendly house with solar and rainwater harvesting. We have met with him many times talk through the many details, choices, and constraints you inevitably face. He has done all the coordination needed with the other specialties the engineers, surveyor, and solar energy firm. Having enjoyed this first part of the collaboration, we are hiring Todd to help us through the bid evaluations and construction admin phases. The best recommendation would be our actual house, but until we get there we can say Todd has done an excellent and professional job getting us this far, and we look forward to working with him through to a completed project.

Todd Willoughby is a very talented architect. We have had the pleasure of working with him to design our custom home in Middleburg, Virginia. Todd is extremely knowledgeable about residential and commercial construction. This is our third custom home, and we have worked with several other architects on various projects through the years. My husband is in commercial construction and has worked with numerous architects in the past forty years. The biggest difference with Todd is that we felt as though he wanted to design the house that WE wanted, not the house that he wanted to design for us. He listened to every suggestion and made every change we recommended to design our home exactly the way we envisioned. His step by step design process allowed us to see our ideas come together. We were able to see whether we were achieving the look we had in mind. Todd gave us very helpful suggestions. He responded to every question and email almost immediately. He told us exactly what to expect and when to expect it. His 3D model was amazing and unbelievably helpful in allowing us to "experience" the sizes of the rooms, windows and many other little details. It gave a perspective that is just not possible to get from a 2D drawing. Todd was even able to put the civil engineer's grading plan on 3D showing the house and property. We have never seen an architect be able to do this. It helped immensely. We could not have been more pleased with Todd Willoughby's skills, knowledge, responsiveness, professionalism and ability to deliver exactly what we wanted by the date promised. His pricing for his services is very competitive and reasonable. He is truly a nice guy. We look forward to working with Todd again in the near future.

Todd is very easy to work with. We started with our general goal and a few ideas, and he fleshed out the details and offered several very helpful recommendations. He presented three options for our project and helped us weigh the pros & cons of each, and in the end it turned out great and we are very happy! I would definitely work with Todd again, and recommend his services to anyone!

Todd Willoughby has been amazing to work with. His attention to detail and patience with us was wonderful. He brought a great deal of knowledge and professionalism to his work. It was a pleasure to work with Todd and we highly recommend him. We will be using Willoughby Design, LLC for our next remodel.

Solid guy, professional, punctual, straightforward.

He is fantastic.
