Architectural Design Services in South Vienna, OH

“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.”

“I am the Executive Chairman for our Sigma Chapter of the International Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta's Capital Campaign to raze and rebuild our chapter house at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH. We have hired Craig E. Dillon and his firm at AIA Architects to design our new chapter house and oversee its construction, which we anticipate beginning in May, 2018. We have known and worked with Craig as far back as 2005. We find him thorough, committed to the success of the project, easy to communicate with/a good listener, and up to date with technology within his field.”

“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.”

“Jamee Parish designed an addition for our home. The end result exceeded my expections. Jamee listened to what we wanted, and improved our vision. Jamee was always prompt with follow-up and completed things on time. I highly recommend Jamee and RTA.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Juliet has been the architect on our home addition and we could not be more pleased so far. She is responsive, thoughtful, and affordable. Highly recommend!”
