Rick Thompson

With a rich history in home design dating back to the mid-1970s, Rick Thompson has become a leading figure in crafting distinctive house plans. After completing architectural school, Rick began his career by restoring and reconfiguring historic homes in downtown Atlanta. This early work fostered a deep appreciation for the classic design elements of early 1900s homes. Inspired by the charm of Arts and Crafts architecture, particularly Bungalow and Craftsman styles, Rick started designing new homes tailored to modern preferences.

His approach to home design blends the historical appeal of these classic styles with contemporary needs, emphasizing open spaces and ample storage. This thoughtful integration of past and present has become a hallmark of Rick’s work. As home plans evolved, Rick began incorporating these elements into a range of designs, reflecting the preferences of today’s homeowners.

Since launching his website in 1998, Rick has continually adapted his designs to meet changing tastes and technologies. Since 2017, he has introduced a “Modern” version of many of his plans, offering greater design flexibility and a fresh take on traditional concepts. These modern adaptations have been well-received, allowing for innovative home design while preserving the essence of classic styles.

Rick Thompson’s North Carolina home plans showcase his commitment to creating functional, beautiful spaces that honor historical influences while embracing contemporary trends.
