At Joan Heaton Architects in Bristol, Vermont, we are proud of our architectural work and are happy to provide the following testimonials from some of our residential design clients in Vermont and New England.
"Working with architect Joan Heaton during the designing and building process of our Kirby, Vermont home was both delightful and sensible. Key to the success of our relationship was Joan’s eagerness to listen to our larger vision along with ideas about the myriad details involved in building a home. She quickly understood what we were looking for. Joan successfully combined simplicity, practicality, and elegance in a home that we, along with family and friends, appreciate as a wonderful sanctuary. Thirteen years later, we still consult with Joan about design/build questions. We are happy to consider her our friend."

“Thank you for my wonderful house. I appreciate your many gifts and skills but especially your ability to listen and to combine that with your artistic and professional talents to make a beautiful home, so well suited to its site and my needs. Everyone thinks the house is terrific.”
“...I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE CREATED FOR US! Before hiring any architect, I had strong doubts that an architect could be of help to us, thinking I had such a strong vision of what I wanted that I just needed an 'executer.' You've changed that completely for me-- after just a few meetings with you I realized how much value you add and that without your knowledge (technical and aesthetic) I could not achieve my vision. I cannot thank you enough for what you've done for us.”
“Working with you was a very positive, creative, and rewarding experience, and we felt you took our ideas and made each one into something worth doing.”
“I'm glad you were able to visit the (construction) site. Thanks for the great design. The more I see the house, the more I know you heard what we wanted. They are there—all of the little details.”
“We are truly happy with our project and will enjoy (it) for years to come.”
“(We) want to thank you so much for all that you did in designing our gorgeous house. We are most pleased with your creative work and efforts.”
