We started working with ODS in the middle of the pandemic to do a whole home remodel. Having never done anything remotely like this before, ODS guided us through the entire process and were an invaluable resource and partner in all the decisions that we needed to make for a project of this size. Even though we didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted at the beginning and our ideas changed throughout the process, we ended up with a home that we absolutely love living in. When we receive compliments on the design of our house, we are always quick to give credit to ODS for their vision of what could be done. ODS steadily moved the project through the numerous city requirements of planning reviews, neighborhood meetings, and permitting. They were great about knowing how to gently (sometimes directly) guide us towards good choices that we now recognize make a huge difference in how we use our space. Anytime we had questions, needed more information, or encountered issues with the project, ODS was quick to respond and offer solutions. We really can't say enough about how great our experience has been with ODS and how pleased we are with the end result.

Working with the ODS team of Alan, Philip, Dmitry, Carina and Toune made a potentially overwhelming process smooth and manageable - which led to a once in a lifetime, fantastic result. We love the home they designed. After helping with contractor selection, they provided high quality of service, thoughtful architectural and interior design advice, and a very high quality of build home. We did a whole house renovation, using both ODS’s architectural and interior design teams. Our house needed a lot of help on the inside and outside. The process started with giving the architects a “wish list” of what we were looking for, and with that they gave us two plans to look at. It was eye-opening to see the conceptual drawings. From there we selected a base plan that evolved as part of the design and build process. Working within our budget, ODS “value engineered” a design that gave us the look and feel we wanted while bringing down the building cost. As a result of collaborative work among ODS, our GC and us, in the end the final design and product was even better than the original concept design that we started with. What could have been better? Not much. Designing in built-in window treatments and working with ODS earlier in the process was probably one aspect that might have worked more smoothly if we went back and did it again. As an overall matter, we would not hesitate to recommend the ODS team. We absolutely love our house and nearly one year later, still remark almost daily on some aspect or design that reminds us of what a great house they were able to build.
