Tim Barron, Architect, Inc. is an intentionally small commercial and residential architecture firm that provides exceptional service to small businesses and homeowners. Tim's design philosophy is that a good design makes a positive impact on both the community in which it is built and the people who use the project every day. This requires the Architect to really listen to the client in order to understand their needs and desires for the project. Then, the client's goals must be married with the site's unique features and constraints to make the project look and work as well as possible in that particular place. Tim Barron has over thirty years experience in the design, production and construction administration of architectural projects. His architectural experience includes major roles in more than five hundred projects ranging from under $30,000 to over $30 million. Tim focuses on Senior Care, Medical/Health, Corporate and Professional Offices, and Custom Residential projects. He received a Bachelor of Architecture from Louisiana State University in 1982, and maintains registration in Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia. Tim Barron, Architect, Inc. was founded in 1996 to provide high quality architectural service to small- and medium-sized projects. The clients for these projects are generally people or small businesses; such clients value a more intimate relationship and desire more expressive designs. Since larger firms cannot service small projects profitably, Architects with the breadth and depth of Tim's experience are not generally available for such projects. This provides a niche that is both profitable and rewarding. Tim Barron, Architect, Inc. has designed over three hundred projects - more than two hundred have been constructed at this time. Tim Barron, Architect, Inc. offers its clients a full range of architectural services, including Site and Building Design, Programming, Master Planning, Site Evaluation, Bidding/Negotiation and Construction Phase Services. Engineering services, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture are available through a professional network of high quality firms specializing in these services. Tag Line Homes should be unique because people are unique. (Tim Barron, Architect) Specialties Finding elegantly simple solutions to complex design and construction challenges.

Rock Sunroom Addition | Sep 2013 | When the homeowners put a pool in their wooded back yard, the old screen porch, deck and back-side siding really bugged them. So we designed an octagonal stone Sunroom with a steel-and-slate deck in their place, and finished the house for them. Below we created a Terrace that overlooks the pool through limestone arches. Now that they have an indoor piece of 'their favorite place', they rarely leave! Square footage includes the 1200 sq ft of porch and terrace. | $180k | Vestavia, AL | |
Preserve 169 | Sep 2013 | The Preserve is a Traditional Neighborhood Development in Hoover, Alabama that is designed to look and feel like a turn-of-the-century small Southern town. The Cottage lots are 40' wide with an Alley behind to keep the cars and utilities away from the front door. The homes are located near the front of the lots to create a "street wall" that enhances the pedestrian feel. Then wide porches extend toward the street to make the homes more friendly and inviting. In the middle of the lot, a Courtyard provides outdoor living space, making the home 'live' larger than its footprint. The interior of our homes is usually as open as practical, with unique finishes and special touches. | $369k | Hoover, AL | |

Helena Home | Sep 2013 | This home was designed to be the last home this couple would ever need - everything they need for graceful living is on one floor with a level entry. So why the upper floor? They're still healthy and active, and daily exercise will help them stay that way. So we put a few things that they wanted upstairs, and shortened the stair run to make it easier and safer to get there. The Study Loft is her favorite place, his is the guest Bedroom he uses for an Office with big windows that overlook the valley. And natural light floods the Family Room from above, so they can enjoy it from below. The low-maintenance exterior is carefully detailed with brick, cedar timbers, and hardie-trim, combined with natural wood and stone inside. This home has many energy and water saving features. | $455k | Helena, AL | |
Ves Trace Renovation | Sep 2013 | This home was in a great neighborhood, but it was insensitively designed. The Before picture shows a large brick gable facing the street, the uninviting - and almost unidentifiable - entrance, harsh colors, unadorned windows, and odd brick fins protruding from the wall. Starting with this picture, we studied the home until we got something more appealing! Adding a porch minimizes the gable and makes the entrance more inviting. The arched 'bay' at the Dining Room balances the porch and adds beauty to the interior. Mortar-washing the brick and changing the roof softens the colors. Finally a circular drive and level entry accomodates aging parents. | $99k | Vestavia, AL | |

Entry & Home Office Addition | Sep 2013 | This fine home had a great front door that nobody ever used-visitors always came to the back door! So the homeowners' decided to make the 'Friend's Entrance' more attractive and inviting. We extended the roof for a Cooking Porch, with a built-in outdoor Kitchen and it's perfect for entertaining! Then they decided to add a Home Office off the Master Suite. All of this had to look like it belonged on the original home - built with out-of-production non-modular brick! These Additions were skillfully constucted by Harris Coggin Building Co. | $85k | Vestavia, AL | |
High Point Addition | Sep 2013 | The homeowners wanted a Sunroom on the back of their '70's home. Their only concern was that the rooms along the back were already dark, and the new Sunroon might block the light farther. We used our expertise with natural light to full advantage, introducing the north light high in the room and using the sloped ceiling to bounce it deep. The result is that the previously dark rooms are 50% brighter than before the Addition! | $35k | Hoover, AL | |
Heritage Park | Sep 2013 | There is a special group of Cottages in the Preserve that face Heritage Park. They are arranged to create a curved "park wall" on the south side of the lake, with friendly porches facing the park. There is no street between these homes and Heritage Park - only a well used sidewalk! Despite the narrow lots, these homes are surprisingly spacious and very well appointed. Simple, elegant plans keep the inside as open as practical. Special touches and unique finishes abound - in keeping with their special place in the community. | $395k | Hoover, AL |
