F L Bissinger Architect

F.L. Bissinger Architects is a renowned architecture firm specializing in single-family residential architecture, with a particular focus on Artisan Revival Style Houses. Our approach is deeply rooted in tradition, yet infused with a modern sense of innovation.

Our style celebrates the current revival of fine craftsmanship, custom details, and high-quality materials. This approach is not about copying the past; it's about creating new masterpieces that utilize the vocabulary of tradition to write a new architectural poetry.

At F.L. Bissinger Architects, we believe that architecture is essentially a service business, although the product is art. This belief guides our commitment to respecting deadlines and our preference for fixed-price contracts. We invite you to call us at 610-525-6438 to inquire about how we can help with your architectural needs.

Our Services

Bissinger specializes in residential design because of the high degree of artistic expression it offers, encompassing elements like distinctive fireplace mantels, sweeping stairways, and chimneys that punctuate the skyline. He especially enjoys the quick feedback of working closely with individual clients. His designs especially draw upon the diversity of cultural heritage that inspired the "fine old houses" of Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill and the Main Line.

We offer a wide range of services, from design to construction. We believe that the design process is an essential part of the project, and we take pride in our ability to turn your dreams into reality. Our relationship with custom craftsmen (both U.S.A. and International) means your house can have truly unique details without sacrificing budget or schedule.

Experience

Extensive design-build experience provides F.L. Bissinger with an unusually strong ability to turn paper dreams into reality. Approximately three weeks after contact meeting and contract, Fred Bissinger anticipates presenting you with personally drawn plans and usually a bird's eye view of your house.

Staff

CAD drafting is done in-house, and Fred Bissinger works directly with you on design decisions. This direct communication ensures that your vision is fully understood and executed throughout the entire process.

Cost

We understand that budget is a critical aspect of any architectural project. We offer fixed-price contracts for services, which are usually entered into before the start of work. This approach allows you to have a clear understanding of the costs involved and ensures that we work efficiently to meet your budgetary needs.

Design Elements

Design elements such as doorways, chimneys, stairways, and dormers require larger scale detail drawings to build correctly. Our meticulous attention to detail ensures that every aspect of your project is carefully considered and executed with precision.
