I think TTV is a very responsive architectural firm to work with. Chris Noel is very responsive and easy to work with. Construction Documents produced for Judges Chambers & US Air Force Computer Center were well done. My experiences with TTV Architects Inc. were all positive. Give them a try; you will not be sorry. A small firm doing great work.

As the President of Valiant Construction, a general contractor serving the federal government, I am pleased to offer my highest recommendation for TTV Architects. A variety of people at Valiant and I have had the pleasure of working with Chris Noel on several federal government construction projects. On every occasion, Chris and TTV have impressed us with their creativity, solution-focus and uncanny ability to lead both the Owner as well as a multidisciplinary team of design professionals. TTV excels in both the creative upfront stages of design as well as the follow-through and construction administration
