Architectural Design Services in Ostrander, OH

“Jamee designed a custom lake home for our family. She was with us from initial concept thru design. She also handled the entire bidding processing and did all site management for us. I cannot give anything but the highest recommendation and praise for Jamee. Not only do we love our home, we love Jamee! She is creative, a fantastic listener, a problem solver, fun, and beyond professional. Jamee became a sounding board and true partner in the entire building process. Her input was invaluable to us! I think a true testament to the level of her professionalism and excellent work is that our builder also has nothing but the highest praise for Jamee and has actually referred clients to Jamee. Builders often shun working with architects and our builder is referring clients to her...WOW!! You cannot do better than Jamee Parish and we look forward to working with Jamee on remodeling our primary residence as our next project.”

“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!”

“We hired Steven to take our rough plans and make them into blueprints for a future home. He was very professional and easy to work with. He made our ideas come alive on paper. When wanting to provide more floor space in the master bedroom for our ailing parents, he worked with us to find practical solutions that made the space functional and inviting. We wanted to have wheel chair accessibility in the home and Steven helped us plan ramps and other accessible areas in our home. He was patient with us when we were deciding on ideas. Steven was someone who we would work with again if given the opportunity and his efficiency is very commendable.”

“SBA has helped Coppertree Homes become the builder we are today. We could not ask for a better partner who truly cares about doing the right thing, the right way. The are creative, cost effective, and most importantly good people.”

“Heidi was amazing from the beginning. She met with me first to understand what I was looking for in the addition. When she came to our house to measure, she was very professional but could see already things that I had not thought about in the addition. She submitted the plans to the review board and then came with me to the meeting. The board had a change that they wanted and she made that immediately. I was impressed with how well she merged the plan for the addition with the existing house. It was hard to tell that it was an addition. While she was making the changes, my son asked for a window in the mudroom and she gladly did this. I am so pleased with what she designed for us. Not only did it meet our needs of having more than one bathroom in the house, but she gave us storage that we greatly needed. Our addition included a mudroom with a half bath, a master bath and turning my closet into a walk in closet. My neighbors and friends have commented that you cannot tell there is an addition because it blends so well with the original house inside and out. I found Heidi very easy to work with as she was approachable and very considerate about listening to my family's needs. She is a true professional and I would recommend her services to anyone needing an architect.”

“Andy's designs are classic and timeless. His attention to detail and architecture make his homes one-of-a-kind. He makes the custom home process fun and exciting by listening to his clients needs and visions. Andy is patient, kind, funny, and a pleasure to work with.”

“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!”
