Chris Hough graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture in 1996. With a desire to start in the Residential market, Chris began apprenticing in the Highland Park and University Park areas. He worked with noted architects J. Wilson Fuqua and Elby S. Martin. These homes required an extraordinary amount of detailing and documentation in order to be approved by the Architectural Committees, and also needed a certain timeless quality to fit within the neighborhoods of Highland Park and University Park.

As a true artist, Chris has a strong commitment to excellence in home design, which is what compelled him to launch Heritage Design Studio in 2000.
