Architects in Mount Sterling, OH

“Sally designed our house with the style, function and design features we were wanting in such a short time! She was able to read our needs and our personalities and construct a home that we could've never imagined! She stayed within our design aesthetics however added her own twist that really was the icing on the cake. She also worked well with our builder, designer and was a team player with the sub-contractors that also touched the house. We were so very pleased with the project and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Working with Amy on a small room addition, kitchen plan, and home remodel job could not have been a more positive experience. She worked with us as a partner in figuring out cost-saving ideas, in dealing with code officials, and in communicating our needs to our contractors. My first-hand experience with Laue rhass Architecture far surpassed my expectations. Her knowledge and service are unparalleled. I highly recommend her for any residential new-build or remodel project! Thank you, Amy!”

“Anne Rogers Interiors is a great design group! With over 25 years experience, Anne is creative and willing to work on projects large and small. We have worked with her on both. She is easy to work with; she respects your personal style and in fact, will help you determine what that is! She has an excellent eye for color. I have been certain I like a specific color and she will show me a different one with a very subtle difference that pulls a room together perfectly. Anne and her staff are all very considerate of your time and budget. She is not opposed to you looking for an item at a lower price point if that is your desire. Anne interfaces with contractors and other professionals on your behalf with confidence and competence. We are currently renovating an older home with a general contractor but have hired Anne to help us with design details in that home. She designed the tile layout, trim details and has advised us on many other fine points (including the actual layout of rooms that were being altered). Anne will visit the job site often, along with being the point of contact for skilled craftsmen like trim carpenters and tile installers to ensure the design is carried out. She works tirelessly to help her clients achieve a lovely end result and is adept at keeping them calm throughout what can be a bit of a stressful process. Anne is professional, talented and an all around kind person. I highly recommend Anne Rogers Interiors if you are looking for a designer in the Columbus, Ohio area!”

“We’re building a house in the mountains but have been really struggling with our very traditional contractor who wanted very much to build a fine home for us but who wanted to give it plenty of “mountain accents,” which would have made it look like every other home in our area. Trying to define our own style, a modern, minimalist design with a hint of the Blue Ridge in it, we continued to get pushback from our contractor and were, frankly, losing confidence that we were headed in the right direction. Reading blog after blog and scouring website to try and find someone who understood our desire to merge two (and a half) design styles, we discovered Yvonne. And she understood exactly what we were attempting. After talking to her and exchanging several emails, our blueprints, photos of our site, pictures of the homes that inspired us and exchanging the “whys” about our dream home, Yvonne made multiple tweaks to our drawings - and a pretty substantial suggestion on materials - and delivered a design that immediately landed with both of us. A couple of emails and a quick phone conversation later and we had a plan that we could get behind 100%. The home is almost finished, it’s coming out exactly as we had hoped and we expect to move to the mountains before the end of summer. Describing your dream home can be tough - sometimes because it’s there - on the edge of your vision - but not really defined enough to truly verbalize it. What Yvonne really did was gradually tease out what we hadn’t been able to do by ourselves. She added color and a much sharper focus to the vision we had and we are, frankly, stunned. If we have any regrets, it’s that we didn’t start working with her at the very beginning of the process… I suspect we’d have had a lot fewer discussions with our contractor and a much smoother plan to follow. Thanks, Yvonne, for helping us realize our dream!”

“I sold this historic home in 2010 and recommended Baker Designs, LTD to the new owner. He wanted to do a more contemporary style but still compliment the original, i.e. great woodwork, pocket doors, fireplace mantels, staircase etc. Allen did a superb job in meeting the clients expectations for a contemporary style while respecting and highlighting the original detail. It won great accolades from hundreds of tour goers at the Olde Towne Tour of Historic Homes last summer!”

“I purchased a condo designed by Urban Order and loved the esthetic so much that I had them design a fireplace with shelving and a bench surround. They were a pleasure to work with. The condo is a gut rehab of a former factory. They turned the original architectural features into a space with 18' ceilings, natural light from every angle, and a completely private interior courtyard while preserving many of the existing elements such as wood beams. It is a unique space and a home that I adore living in.”

“Rod Sidley Architects designed and supervised a complete remodel of our 1950 ranch. The kitchen and bathrooms were gutted, and we added a new office, bedroom, bathroom, Master bedroom, Master bath, walk in closet, and downstairs rec room. Rod initially presented us with three options, and we were able to pick the one that best met our needs and budget. From there, he oversaw the project every step of the way, including demolition, construction, selections (insulation, flooring, fixtures, cabinets, etc.) and finishing. He managed our contractor and made sure they were working according to the blueprints and our specification. He helped us work through problems that inevitably arose, and made sure the work was done within budget, in a quality manner, and on schedule. Rod's knowledge of design, drafting, construction, materials, regulations, and sources is extensive and really helped make this project a success. In our particular case, his contacts and relationships within the Wyoming community were invaluable. We were extremely happy with the end result, and have used Rod Sidley Architects to manage other projects since then. He's the best!”

“Kent with Archignition studio is a brilliant designer. He took the time to really get to know what we wanted to accomplish with the project, respected our ideas while gently directing us and showing us new, creative ways to take better advantage of the space without adding one square foot. Plus he made the process enjoyable and exciting. Not only is he excellent at design, but has a great eye for materials and surfaces that are different and give a truly unique character to our home. He prides himself on designing reasonable size, unique homes and spaces and believes that a house not have to be huge and ostentatious. I am related to the architect.”

“He came up with a brilliant alternative to a projected new school building project for pre-pre-schoolers that captured the essence of the philosophy of the program.m And it was more cost effective than the original design in better meeting the goals. He did research on the goals and vision of the proposers and the program director before he made his recommendations.”

“Our house was built in 1936. As with most older homes in this neighborhood, ours was admired for its charming interior design, original trim, plaster walls and leaded glass windows. But the house is relatively small (1,850 sq ft) and the kitchen, though remodeled once by us, was still small and uninviting. We decided to upgrade it one more time and then realized that if this was to be our last shot at getting it right, we should spend the money and the time to have an expert give us his thoughts. We hired Dean Wenz. His first question: are you willing to entertain some more dramatic changes to the space to achieve your goals. Gulp. Sure. The results were more than we could have hoped for. What we once joked was a "two butt" kitchen - as in, my wife and I kept bumping into each other - became a spacious and beautiful kitchen that remained true to the house's classic look. Dean was a delight to work with. Knowledgeable, friendly, professional and sensitive to our cost concerns.* We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”
