"It is always nice to see a satisfied client. And it was indeed a pleasure working with you on this small project. We are proud that we were able to so fully transform your first floor with just a few strategic elements. Go Nats!"
However, in the end we most value the design services provided. The project turned out to far exceed my expectations in terms of what could be done with this house. The house is now unique, makes optimal use of space, and seamlessly respects the age of the house while also providing a modern aesthetic.
From the beginning we were impressed with the principle architect's thoughtfulness as he surveyed the house, noted views from upstairs windows and immediately appreciated the possibilities for the house. He was patient as we needed to interrupt the project for about a year, and was quick to help us get back on track when we were ready to take it up again. He and his associate listened to us and incorporated our preferences but also included their perspectives as well, which resulted in an amazing finish. We also never felt as though our project was less important than any others being worked on.
The project ranged from the mundane (rewiring, adding central A/C, new windows, structural repairs) to more exciting elements such as brand new kitchen, master suite, and living area. Ossolinski Architects helped with selections at every step, including paint colors and other finishes; this can be a daunting task and their experience and talents were a huge help and gave us fantastic results.
Hiring Ossolinski Architects was well worth the money in terms of both added value to the house and everyday enjoyment.
"A belated thank you for such a considered, positive review. We are very proud of the house and feature it prominently on our website and on Houzz. Thanks for the opportunity to work on such a fulfilling project. Matt"
"In nearly 30 years of practicing architecture, this is the only time that I was unable to complete even the earliest stages of the design process……. this member came to us for an addition and renovation to her home, having spoken with owners of several of our successful projects nearby. In our first meeting to review the 5 schematic designs it was clear we were not a good fit. But in subsequent meetings, she offered to raise her budget with anticipated inheritances and we successfully produced a larger, more expensive 6th design she liked, but fails to mention above. Only after this did she ask to be rebated fees she had already paid for several of the previous smaller, designs. Although we felt this was unreasonable, and because she said she wanted to move forward, we agreed to rebate some of our fees to maintain an amicable relationship. However, she rejected our agreement, making progressively greater demands, bringing her good faith into question. We then discovered thru other sources, that she had already decided to switch directions, tear down her house, and build a new one using builder-stock plans, modified by the builder’s staff. Having decided to switch direction, the member, an attorney, initiated arbitration in an effort to re-coup the fees she had already paid. After discovering all this, we placed a lien. We removed it immediately upon settlement, per public record. The arbiter found that the $10,000 fee was justified; we were glad to return $1,500 -- less than the $2,000 retainer held. We regret that this member seems to hold lingering resentment. Finally, the alleged comment about the retainer is simply untrue. Anyone who knows me knows that the implied tone is not my style."
