Our Mission
We design truly custom homes that reflect our clients' distinct visions and lifestyles. Through collaboration, innovative design, and meaningful relationships, we transform ideas into inspiring homes that strengthen communities.
The Reynard Team
Creativity. Curiosity. Collaboration.
Our story began in 2019 when founders—Jack Baldwin, Kalyn Kight, and James Knight—met while working for a commercial architectural design firm in Atlanta, GA. In 2021, they partnered together to provide clients with truly custom architectural designs that result in individual family homes that are built to leave a legacy.

The REYNARD Story
When 2020 brought unexpected challenges, it also opened doors. Amid the uncertainty of the pandemic, the three partners discovered their passion for collaborating with clients to design inspired, one-of-a-kind homes. Fueled by the joy of turning dreams into reality, Reynard Custom Homes was officially established that year.
What started as a professional connection quickly evolved into a shared vision: to redefine custom home design by creating spaces that truly reflect each homeowner's individual aesthetics, budget, and lifestyle.
Whether it's a cozy retreat or a sprawling estate, every home matters because every home has a story.

About Reynard
Founded in 2020
Redefining the Custom Home Experience with Advanced Technology
At Reynard Custom Homes, we believe that designing and building a custom home shouldn’t require a leap of faith; it requires clarity and communication. As a modern architectural design firm serving the Southeast, we leverage cutting-edge 3D architectural rendering and "digital twin" technology to eliminate the guesswork. Unlike traditional firms where clients struggle to visualize 2D blueprints, our process invites you to virtually walk through your home before construction ever begins. This commitment to visualization ensures that every sightline, light fixture, and roof angle is perfected to your satisfaction, saving you time and money during the build phase.
Architectural Excellence Across the Southeast
From the rugged terrain of the North Georgia mountains to the pristine coasts of the Florida Panhandle, our portfolio reflects the diverse landscapes of the American Southeast. Whether we are designing a modern mountain retreat in Blue Ridge or Ellijay, GA a mountainside sanctuary in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, or a luxury family estate in Savannah, GA, our approach remains the same: site-specific design. We carefully evaluate topography, sun orientation, and natural features to ensure your home doesn't just sit on the land, but works in harmony with it. Our deep understanding of regional building requirements and aesthetics makes us the preferred custom home architect for clients seeking a home that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Collaborative Path to Your Dream Home
True custom architecture is about more than beautiful facades; it is about advocacy and partnership. We bridge the gap between architectural vision and construction reality by acting as your guide throughout the entire journey. By integrating architectural design, interior concepts, and project coordination under one roof, we ensure that your budget is respected and your vision remains intact. Whether you are planning a "forever home" for retirement or a vacation getaway for gathering, our team is dedicated to translating your personal story into a tangible, structural legacy.
The Story Behind Our Name
We chose "REYNARD" for our company name because it means "fox."
Foxes symbolize creativity, adaptability, and resourcefulness—values that define our approach to custom home design.
Just as foxes are known for their sharp instincts and connection to community, we embrace innovation, collaboration, and meticulous attention to detail. It's all about architecturally designing homes that tell a story and foster meaningful relationships.
For us, "REYNARD" isn’t just a name; it’s a reflection of our mission to create inspiring, one-of-a-kind homes that build lasting connections and stand the test of time.
