Barber Architects

I am Tim Barber and I design buildings. I am one of the few fortunate people who actually get to do what they enjoy for a living, I practice architecture. I do not know if I would call it a passion, but I can't think of any other profession I would rather be involved in that is as rewarding and fun as architecture.

That's about it. Architects are spatial organizers. A client tells us what they want and need in a building and we do our best to lay out a functional and efficient building. When I finish the design and construction drawings if the client is happy, it is a very successful project. I am an office of one so I do everything.

I attend meetings. I go out in the field and measure if necessary. I do the drafting and I do the design. I think an architect should be as knowledgeable about the building code as they are about the aesthetics of the building. I graduated from Va. Tech in 1979 and moved down to Chapel Hill and have been in the area ever since.
