"Chris did a fantastic job helping us design a major addition to our current home. We didn't know exactly what we wanted when we first started and Chris spent a lot of time with us during multiple meetings offering expertise and feedback on our ideas. He was also completely understanding when we completely scrapped plans for new design ideas, and he reworked our layout multiple times. It was an outstanding experience and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. create innovative and functional designs that meet your specific needs. From concept to completion, we will be with you every step of the way."

"We had the pleasure of working with Achrysalis on the design and construction of our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Chris and Amarja took the time to understand our needs and worked closely with us to iterate on the design. Their creativity and forward-thinking approach brought our vision to life in ways we hadn't imagined. They paid incredible attention to detail and remained engaged throughout the entire build, helping us with material selections and other important decisions. They were all-around fantastic partners, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for architects who are both talented and deeply committed to their clients. "

"I've known Chris for almost 10 years and recently used Archrysalis on my personal home. We actually moved in this week and we are thrilled! We took a 2500 SF Ranch to a 3200 SF Ranch with an amazing patio and detached garage with a Suite above it. The flow of the space is amazing and we are loving it. In regards to Chris, you won't find a more genuine person that cares about the outcome. Chris spent time blending the ideas from our family, considered function, and delivered a great plan. Thanks so much Chris! "

Dominick Thompson

"Working with Chris as a builder on 2 projects has been fantastic! His communication is timely and clear, and his attention to detail is exceptional. All of which is clearly evidenced in the quality of his/their plans, and that makes it easy to estimate properly and then to build. All of that mashed together is of tremendous value to a homeowner considering hiring an architect for their project. "

"Chris worked with us on an extensive remodel adding about 2k sq ft & gutting the rest of the house. He’s extremely creative, gave us some great options / ideas along the way. He oozes passion for his craft and the process to achieve both functional and beautiful design. Highly recommend! "

"Chris designed a contemporary new home build for us in the Madison Park neighborhood in Charlotte. He listened to us through wrestling with new build versus renovation, many changes on function, format, layout, and was patient and willing to go with us down rabbit holes while also providing much needed direction and inspired ideas we never would have thought of. We highly recommend Chris and Archrysalis for anyone looking for an architect to create a custom contemporary home build. "

"My wife and I worked with Chris at Archrysalis Architects for our front porch/awning project. He gave us multiple designs and once we settled on the design he worked and stayed on top of the builder to make sure everything was done correctly. He didn't just sale us the design and say good luck. He was involved throughout. Would highly recommend Archrysalis for your project. "

Lauren Gallagher

"We worked with Christopher on a renovation. We wanted to turn an 3/1into a 3/2, and knock down a wall for more openness, and add more windows. Christopher was very detail oriented, gave us several options, and worked in a timely manner. We enjoyed working with him and would use again on future remodels. "

"I have collaborated with Chris and Amarja on numerous projects in Charlotte and Huntersville. They are fantastic architects executing intriguing design concepts with incredible detail through a process that everyone can understand. On the back end, they give clear direction throughout the construction process ensuring exceptional build quality. Truly a stand out architecture office in Charlotte that I frequently recommend to clients."
