About JFA Design Group

Experience Behind Every Line. Thought Behind Every Design.


FA Design Group was founded by John F. Andrews on a straightforward philosophy: good design begins by listening.


With decades of hands-on experience, John works directly with homeowners, builders and contractors to turn ideas into thoughtful, functional and buildable plans. Whether the project is a custom home, addition, ADU, barn, outbuilding, commercial space or specialized industrial project, the process begins the same way—by understanding what you want to accomplish and determining the best way to make it work.


A Practical Approach to Good Design


Beautiful design matters. But so does how a space functions, how it will be built and how decisions made during the design process can affect construction.

John brings creative thinking and technical experience together, developing detailed plans that clearly communicate design intent, anticipate potential challenges and provide a strong foundation for the work ahead.


JFA also prepares drawings for permitting, zoning and municipal review, with careful consideration given to local building requirements throughout the design process.


Personal Attention From the Beginning


When you work with JFA, you work directly with John. From the first conversation through the development of your plans, John remains personally involved—listening, asking questions, exploring possibilities and working collaboratively with you and, when appropriate, your builder, contractor or engineer.


That direct relationship creates a more personal and efficient design process, with plenty of opportunity to explore alternatives and refine the details along the way.

Whether you're planning a modest addition or an entirely new structure, the same attention, problem-solving and care go into every project.
