More Than Just a Beautiful Home.
With over 40 years of building and design experience, Tony Andrews understands what it means to make a house truly feel like a home. Some days, that means unwinding on the front deck, reading a good book and looking out over an even better mountain view. Other days, it's hosting a get-together with a few of your closest friends and family. No matter what you’re doing, your home will be the stage for creating some of your most cherished memories.
At AVA Home Design, we take that mission seriously. Our homes are inspired by the beautiful Maine nature, and crafted for the people who came here to enjoy it. This is where clients quickly become friends, and a house quickly becomes your home.
The
AVA Advantage.
We understand the challenges of turning your dream home into a reality. To make that happen, you need a plan that puts designers, builders, and homeowners on the same page. This is where experience counts. Beyond just designing your home, Tony will coordinate with local contractors to help ensure as seamless a construction process as possible. By starting off with a build-ready home design, we’ll help you limit surprises so you can move in sooner. That’s the AVA Advantage.
Here's Our Approach.
DESIGN TO LAST
AVA Designs stand the test of time, and will provide you with a home you'll love for years to come.
DESIGN FOR LESS
Our build-centered approach to design is made to be time saving and cost-effective.
DESIGN FOR LIFE
We understand that a home is more than just a place to be. It is a place to live, and live fully.
Here's What
Our Clients
Are Saying.
"Just wanted to say a sincere thank you for your collaboration and guidance as we designed our house. Your construction savvy and technical focus helped keep us on track and design a home that is ‘buildable’ while meeting our esthetical design vision and budget. Not only are you great to work with but your sense of humor and partnership made the experience beyond fun! Thank you and hopefully we get to do this together again!"
Therese Kelleher, MA
"Tony understands the stress of the building process. He builds relationships and guides you with a sense of humor. Bring your excitement and enjoy the process. For us, it was such an incredible experience working with Tony. We had no disagreements with Tony, only joy."
The Carroll Family, ME
"Tony, of AVA Home Design, is a pleasure to work with. We brought him some rough sketches and lists of our desires, and he was able to create detailed floor plans and elevation drawings that we could understand and work with. We could visualize the potential final product and Tony was able to create edited versions when we wanted to see different sized rooms, or alternate window styles, move a staircase, or change exterior trims and colors. We will continue to work with Tony as our needs arise since he is talented, practical, efficient, and reasonable."
Bill & Sue Lowe, ME
Tony Andrews completely dispelled my fears of working with a builder. He immediately made my husband and me quite comfortable, he listened to what we wanted, and quickly delivered a beautiful design. There were changes (due to us) and he handled them quickly and pleasantly. Our builder was excited to get one of Tony’s designs as he knew they were quality and would go together seamlessly. He also knew if there were changes or issues that Tony would take care of it quickly and without any drama. Since we built our house, I have seen several of his designs and they do not disappoint. He has a great eye for design and as well as a great reputation with his clients. He really is a lot of fun to work with. We most definitely would use Tony again if we were to build another home or add any buildings to our existing property.
Sue Dunn, ME
Working with Tony on our ski home has been wonderful every step of the way. We absolutely loved our design and had a lot of fun throughout the process. Tony was very attentive to our wants and needs. He made great suggestions based on his vast knowledge of many years as a builder himself. To Tony, it is much more than producing a set of plans, it is about making your dream home a reality!
