PRESIDENT / CEO, Stephen Fuller, Inc.

Under the direction of Stephen Fuller's vision and talent, Stephen Fuller, Inc. has become the most sought after residential design firm in the U.S., specializing in landplanning and community design. In 1984 after receiving his BS in Architecture from Georgia Tech University, he founded Stephen Fuller, Inc. with a desire to create modern homes that meet the needs of today’s high-tech consumers while preserving the integrity of traditional architecture.

Twenty years ago, Fuller introduced his hallmark of combining traditional classic facades with open contemporary floorplans. Since then, Fuller has cultivated a unique process of landplanning, and is now responsible for the creation of 20 master planned communities in the United States and beyond.

Fuller’s vision motivates him to create landplans that are as thoughtfully designed as the individual homes that will one day enhance each lot. The architectural theme in each community is varied.

The intent of Fuller and his team to preserve what is best about the classic American neighborhoods of the past, and incorporate these features into the community landplan is evident and appreciated by developers and homeowners.

This appreciation is shared by colleagues and industry professionals as well. The very first of Fuller’s endeavors in Landplanning and community design earned him a Best in American Living Award.

Attention to detail is a trademark of Stephen Fuller and his team. Over nearly two decades his designs continue to appeal to those who value sound design and custom touches that make a home both comfortable and memorable.

As a result of the popularity and demand for Stephen Fuller's designs, the firm has published thirteen collections of pre-designed homes, providing builders and consumers access to a variety of Fuller's award-winning designs. The most recent portfolio, American Neighborhood Collection, was published in February 2001. In this collection Fuller pioneers new design trends that address the needs of today’s active lifestyles and the increased technology within today’s homes.

Stephen Fuller has received over 90 awards of excellence for superior design including "Best in American Living" at the past NAHB Conventions. In addition, his designs have been featured in a variety of consumer and trade publications including Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Better Homes & Garden®, Builder, House Beautiful Houses & Plans, Professional Builder, Southern Living®, Good Housekeeping Home Plans, Colonial Homes, Country Home® and Home Planners.
