WHO WE ARE

ABOUT US

AGAPP founder, Jim Felmlee, specializes in residential design. His desire to create homes started at an early age. His earliest memories include creating simplistic stick-figure plans for each member of his family. This desire blossomed when he started working for a small residential firm in 1998 while attending the University of Colorado in Boulder. He progressed to a much larger firm where he was introduced to multi-family projects ranging in scale from small townhome developments to condominium buildings with more than 400 units per building. He has also worked on designs for club houses and community centers. In 2011 he started his own firm focusing on single family custom homes. His experience has given him greater understanding and working knowledge of building and accessibility codes. Because of the variations of those codes, as adapted and revised within different municipalities, and the many requirements of Home Owners Associations, he frequently studies and reviews requirements to ensure project compliance. Jim is married and has 4 wonderful children. Understanding the demands of a busy lifestyle, and how your home can be a refuge from these demands, is another aspect of his experience. He can work within your busy schedule, get your design done in a timely manner, and help you create a home that can be your retreat. Put his knowledge, experience, and creativity to work for you.

TESTIMONIALS

Jim was polite, professional, and helpful from the very first contact. I needed to have some plans updated for a permit set and time was of the essence. Jim was able to complete the job in less time than he quoted me. He did a wonderful job and has always answered all of my questions in a timely and efficient manner. It has been a pleasure working with Jim and I look forward to working with him on future projects. Highly recommend.

I frequently work with Jim and A Guy A Pencil and A Plan. It is always a joy to work with Jim. His work is reliable and thorough. He is always willing to brain storm on the best option for each project rather than try and jam a given project into a pre-defined box. He has a high attention to detail and a long experience throughout the Denver Metro area that helps navigate through the design requirements that can vary between the many different building departments in this area that can often frustrate a project. I look forward to each an every project on which we work together.

I highly recommend Jim Felmlee as an architect, thought partner, and design guru. Jim took the time to learn a rare zoning code and meet with city officials, he patiently explained the creative magic to my logical brain, and he rode the waves as my project took different forms and cost points. Jim advocated for the intent behind the project by using creative design, while incorporating the character of the surrounding (and fast changing!) neighborhood. He consistently held my project in regard and poured out his heart to maximize the use of small spaces, the flow of people patterns, and the aesthetic appeal. He coordinated with multiple builders and graciously incorporated cost-saving ch...

Jim with AGAPP is a great guy to work with! Jim designed a master suite addition with ADA accommodations for my mother. After meeting with us and listening to what we were looking for Jim gave us a few designs with some suggestions to make design even better than what we first envisioned. Jim explained every step of the design, planning & he supplied us with some contractors to get quotes to go the work! The addition is everything we asked for! I would recommend including AGAPP in your search for architects. You will be totally impressed!!
