Testimonials
Our experience working with Tripp was great. We felt that the design of the house was quite unique. The big open spaces with high ceilings and panorama windows are just some of our favorite features. Tripp had great attention to detail when he designed it. From the amount of natural light, to how the rooms seemingly blends in together. We wouldn't a change a thing and would hire Tripp again any day. We constantly get compliments on the house.

We have been working with Tripp over the last few months to design a large addition and renovation to our current home. Tripp is clearly knowledgeable about the entire design and build process and has not only helped turn our vague thoughts and requirements into our dream home but has also been a great source of information and comfort through the entire process. While he’s friendly, personable, and incredibly easy to work with he’s also been incredibly good about helping guide us in the right direction, utilizing his experience to educate us and provide options to achieve our objectives. Tripp’s communication is thorough, responsive, and always with the intent to meet our needs and ensure we are going to get the house that will make our family happy . We loved his designs and creative ideas to meet our goals for our home and he was always fast through every step. We will miss our kitchen table visits with Tripp when he would deliver his amazing designs, but will always be thankful for the home he helped make for us. We have close friends who are both builders and realtors and everyone has consistently provided positive feedback in their experience with Tripp. I would confidently recommend DeFalco Home Design to a friend or anyone considering considering an architect.

I had been working with Tripp since 2016 in trying to find my "dream house" and while it took longer than I expected to find everything I wanted, I was absolutely blown away with the finished product. The greatest part of the experience was working with Tripp and his team every step of the way. Specifically, I struggled to understand his "completed vision" in the early stages, but allowing and believing in his professional expertise and discretion was greatest part of entire design experience. Candidly, I did not appreciate how amazing the finished build exterior and interior layout would all come together in way I could not understand in the beginning. While I struggled at first to see how amazing the finished build would end, I am greatly appreciative for trusting his decision making every step of way and highly encourage anyone else considering working with Tripp to do the same!

Tripp has been outstanding from the first meeting my wife and I had with him, He is very knowledgeable and really got us excited about the rebuild on our current lot. Whenever we had questions, and there were plenty, Tripp was there with an answer usually within hours of an email being sent. His answers to our questions have guided us through our rebuild project and also given us ideas that we more than likely would not have come up with on our own. We can not recommend DeFalco Home Design highly enough.

Tripp is an inspired architect. His design for our home is one of the most impressive I have seen, and I can say that objectively as someone who considers architecture and interior design to be a hobby. I have toured countless homes over the years and Tripp's vision blew me away. But the home is not only stunning visually -- it also feels like a home and the layout is very purposeful. Not a day goes by where I am not amazed by certain elements of the design and the eye for detail. People (and not just friends/family) rave about the look of the home whenever they see it for the first time. Finally, and just as important, Tripp is great to work with and certainly knows exactly what he is doing based on his wealth of design and construction experience. I would highly recommend Tripp, and feel free to contact me with any questions or additional information about my home.

After interviewing and discussing our project with several architects and design/build firms, it was clear to us that you were the only one who understood our vision. The result is a place to which we truly love coming home to.

If I could give Tripp more than 5 stars I would. Tripp is the total package. Not only did he help us with a beautiful design for our Arlington home, he's also deeply experienced on the construction side. Hiring Tripp is like hiring an expert/advisor to have in your corner through the life of the project -- from design, to permitting, and beyond. A construction project can be an intimidating (and sometimes risky) venture, but working with a professional of Tripp's caliber can help eliminate a lot of the risk and confusion, and help ensure you come out with a beautiful end product, without stupid and costly mistakes on the way. Lastly, Tripp is level-headed, patient, responsive, and all around a very easy and pleasant person to work with. You would be very lucky to get him as your architect on your next project.
