"Mr. Albert Refoua of AR Residential Design, Inc. has been the driving creative force behind our new Broadmoor Park Subdivision in Hobbs, New Mexico.

Albert was given the initial task of designing from the beginning, a new residential “center piece home” for our subdivision.  Albert was instructed to the range of the square footage and that it was to be designed to accommodate an older couple that could become ambulatory.  The home had to have a fresh design that portrayed elegance but on a rather small lot.  With these simple instructions, a survey of the lot and a copy of the restrictive covenants, Albert designed a home that far surpassed my expectations."  (read more)

“Albert Refoua architecturally designed my family’s residence in Plano in 1996.  This was a custom design that had to be fitted to an odd sized creek lot.  He did an excellent job, not only designing all the features we wanted, but also in adjusting the design of the house to fit the lot.  In addition, the builder we used remarked that the design specifications and detail provided by Albert were remarkably well done and easy to follow.  We have been very pleased with our home.  Albert met with my wife and I on many occasions to discuss the house plans and provided excellent service to us.  We are pleased to highly recommend him to you.
