About Barnes Architecture
Joshua Barnes founded Barnes Architecture after gaining 8 years of professional architectural experience working on a range of project types. Through that experience, he developed expertise in construction documentation, consultant coordination, permitting, and project delivery, while discovering a passion for residential architecture and helping homeowners shape and improve the places they live.
Whether planning a renovation, addition, ADU, or custom home, Barnes Architecture helps homeowners by delivering the highest level design services and adding long-term value to their projects.
Construction may last for months. Design decisions last for generations.
Why work with Barnes Architecture
Design Intent
Circulation, natural light, proportion, and materiality are fundamental architectural principles. Together, they shape the character of a home and influence how it is experienced every day. Intentional design brings these elements together in ways that create lasting value and enrich everyday living.
Constructability
Successful projects require more than good design. Practical construction considerations are incorporated throughout the design process to help create solutions that can be efficiently and effectively built.
Design Restraint
Good architecture is not always the result of adding more. Careful editing, thoughtful prioritization, and purposeful design decisions often create stronger outcomes than unnecessary complexity.
Serving St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Gulfport, and the greater Tampa Bay region.
