Very happy with open plan that Rick and his team designed. They also brought in Lisa Jensen to help with design and she was a big help as liaison to contractor, architects and me. Franken-Polli, the general contractors, were exceptional. Their lead, Matt, deserves special mention for his attention to detail. Cabinets were done but Shikles Cabinets. The whole team worked together well, and kept me current on the project status. **★★★★★ — Georgia Nesselrode, Feb. 2019** > RDM Architecture did an excellent job for me as I explored a master bath addition to my 1889 home in Westwood, Kansas. I ultimately decided to stay within the footprint of the main house and concentrate on rebuilding a 400 square foot guesthouse that was in need of renovation. RDM staff was very professional and was more than willing to change the scope of the project to satisfy my shifting priorities. The staff presented high quality plans and helped me interview and select the best contractor for the job. The team was always available to answer questions and to modify the plans as needed. I would highly recommend Rick and his team for any remodeling project. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Georgia, we loved working with you on the house and guest house. We are so glad you were able to maintain existing house's charm and capture the potential of the unused guesthouse. Thanks for the review. **★★★★★ — Tim Woofter, Feb. 2019** > Rick and his team were great to work with. As an architect myself, we are commonly the most difficult folks to work with. They were patient, forward thinking and resourceful as we reconciled the scope and design. Many Thanks to RDM on helping make a huge transformation of our ranch home. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Tim, thank you for your review. We are so glad to have been able to work with a fellow architect and the understanding you have for the design process. We are excited with the way everything came together. Thanks Again! **★★★★★ — susieluening, Nov. 2018** > RDM Architecture designed our kitchen/laundry room remodel. They were professional, positive, and easy to work with. They listened to our ideas, were able to problem solve, and were very creative. > We are so pleased with our beautiful and functional new space. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thanks for the great review. It was a pleasure to work with you and I'm glad you love your new space as much as we do! **★★★★★ — Margaret Nickell, Nov. 2018** > I hired RDM Architecture to design my kitchen 18 years ago. Rick was original in his design. He suggested that the island be fabricated in the shape of a grand piano, after he saw the piano in our living room. We are still enjoying our beautiful and functional kitchen! > > More recently I asked for his help on our third floor remodel. We wanted to remove a wall, to open up the space. He suggested a half wall or "pony wall", which is open, yet functional. He also came up with the idea of making a cubby in an existing wall bench, for our wi-fi and Sonos system. They function well, because they are not completely surrounded by wood, but they are not so noticeable either, because they are inside the cubby. > > Two projects--18 years apart--both with original ideas that we would not have thought of on our own. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thank you for the review. We have enjoyed working with you over the past 18 years. We are so glad you are happy with the most recent project and hope it serves you for many more years to come. **★★★★★ — Tyler Thomas, Sept. 2018** > I used RDM to help with a garage addition to my house in 2017 and 2018. The design they submitted was top notch. They connected me with a contractor that exceeded my expectations and left me with a finished project that ties in so well to my house that most cannot tell it's an addition. I receive compliments all the time and it has certainly added to the value of my house. They take a very personal interest in their projects and I would easily use them again without reservation. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thanks for kind review! It was great to work with you on your project and I agree, it turned out great. **★ — Jonathan Wesley, June 2017** > If you are looking to do a smaller project, I would recommend looking elsewhere. We had Rick come over to help us design a deck for our backyard, and the meeting could not have gone worse. When first talking about the project we thought ~$10,000 would be a reasonable starting point for a small 300-400 sq ft deck and pergola. After telling Rick our budget, he literally laughed to our faces and said it would cost at least 5 times that. I'll repeat that, a 300-400 square foot deck with a pergola and no other bells or whistles, according to Rick, costs about $50,000. > > I should have just stopped the meeting at that point, knowing we weren't going to be on the same page, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt and heard his pitch. Rick's tone was very arrogant, and I'm surprised because he's the face of the company, so you would think he would have better bedside manner. Instead, he bragged about working on $400,000 projects and showing us things that were far more extravagant than we were wanting, again showing the disconnect. We have been planning this deck for a while, so we know what we want. When Rick talked about putting a sun shade on the house rather than a pergola, we said we didn't like how they looked and Rick responded by saying, "Why not?! You're the only person I know that doesn't like them!" Apparently you're not supposed to have an opinion on the work being done to your house. We didn't want a kitchen, or a fire pit, or a TV, or extra lighting, we just want a simple deck with some shade, that's all. > > After being told we weren't investing enough money into the project and that our ideas were small, Rick asked for his $65 check so he could be on his way. That's right, in a world where most companies provide complimentary consultations and estimates, RDM has you pay just for the privilege of talking to them! I invited a stranger into my house to tell me I was cheap, insult my intelligence and taste, and then had me pay him for the privilege! > > If you're looking to do a six figure project that's going to look fantastic, RDM is your team. The work they do looks fantastic, but know your'e going to pay way more than what it's worth. Trust me, I used to work in public accounting and I understand how RDM's billing works. But if you're looking to do a project that costs less than $50,000, look elsewhere, you're beneath Rick and his team. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > We know that those who reach out to RDM Architecture are working on fulfilling dreams. And we want everyone to find the right partner to make those dreams a reality. In this case, as in many others, we found it hard to reveal the reality of cost while not damaging the dream. > > It was never our intention to be disrespectful or insult you in any way. We’re sorry we didn’t handle it better. We hope the alternative design solution we talked about was helpful, and we wish you well in finding the perfect partner. Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion and providing a platform for discussing this common theme in residential architectural design. **★★★★ — Arnetta Johnston, April 2017** > I came across RDM while I was looking for a firm that did Universal Design. Bonus - they were local. I met with Mike times to scope the project. My goal was to revamp my kitchen and master suite to allow for better wheelchair access. I explained that my primary need was functional, but I also wanted it to look nice. I also decided to add a screened patio room. Mike was always professional and helpful. He listened an made helpful suggestions, but always listened to me needs and wants. Thank you for all you hard work. I truly appreciate it. God bless. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thank you for the wonderful review! I am glad to have been involved in your project and that we were able to address your wants and needs while still making it look great. **★★★★★ — Lorax Design Group, March 2017** > RDM Architecture is a small, talented residential architecture group that really spends a lot of time with clients to make sure everything goes right. Rick and his crew are genuinely committed to a successful project and his excitement about the process is contagious. We enjoy working with RDM as they make every step of the way that much more enjoyable! **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thanks Kurt for the great review. We appreciate the collaboration we have had on our many successful projects. **★★★★★ — Mary Schulte, Dec. 2016** > The RDM team did an excellent job with every aspect of our whole house remodel. With high aesthetic quality, great knowledge of architectural styles and access to the latest trends in home decor, we felt well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thanks for the wonderful review Mary, it was a pleasure working with you and the whole team on the project and we're thrilled with the way it turned out! **★★★★★ — Carolyn & Bill Patterson, Dec. 2016** > We had previously worked with RDM on our porch enclosure which is pictured among others here on the RDM pages. When we decided to build a new house, we engaged Rick McDermott from the start--even to help us select the building lot. It is now two years later and the project is complete. Rick and Matt Lero listened to us and were able to design a house that met our needs and also followed a daunting set of rules laid out by the city. The narrow, deep lot presented its own challenges, but also allowed for the spectacular contemporary design. Matt was especially creative when it came to design details and use of unique materials. RDM's hands-on approach and attention to detail at every stage of development/construction has made this project a total success. **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > Thanks for the glowing review, we had a great time working on the project with the whole design and construction team. Our work wouldn't be what it is without wonderful clients, thanks for the opportunity to make something grand. **★★★★★ — ddoren17a, Oct. 2016** > After living in our 1922 Federal-style Colonial for 27 years, we knew what we wanted to add to it (it had had 3 additions previously). We wanted (A) add a mudroom with a coat closet at the back door, (B) create a real back porch (covered) with concrete steps, (C) enlarge the den and make it convertible to a first floor bedroom if we had mobility issues in the future (oh, and re-use the floor and some of the walls of the old den which was added in 1942), (D) widen the doorway for accessibility and enlarge the first floor bathroom (it already had a shower) (E) enlarge a tiny back bedroom upstairs so we could use it as a master bedroom, and (F) modify the master bath so that there was an entrance into the new master bedroom in the back instead of the old master bedroom in the front. For the exterior, it also had to look as much like it had always been there as possible--not easy with 2 hipped roofs & a shed roof already existing. We also had a lot of "don't"s--don't ruin the screened porch, don't change the kitchen, don't eliminate the window at the top of the center staircase, don't put the back door where you can't see it from all sides, don't ruin the flow of the first floor. Poor Rick and Mike! It has to be easier to design new houses! It was so nice--they got it and were great about making sure we considered options if they thought maybe we had missed something. The contractor we hired really like working with them, and they communicated very well with him and us. Due the great work of the general contractor and them, you can't even tell where the old den ended and the new space begins. The house lives like we wanted it to--and it is appropriately sized for the block. Very happy with our decision to work with them, and would do so again! **Comment from RDM Architecture:** > We are glad to have been involved in such a great project. Thank you for the wonderful review! ## Selected projects - [Table Rock Lake Rustic Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/table-rock-lake-rustic-contemporary-pj-vj~6402226) - Location: Kimberling City, MO - Photos: 22 - Description: After completing a previous renovation project on the client's primary residence we were approached to design a vacation home for them on a challenging site at Table Rock Lake. The view is the star on this site and the house was designed to take advantage of it from the moment you drive up. Whether it's from your car as you drive up or through the two story window wall you're faced with a spectacular view of the lake.

The house is divided into public and private with the living room and kitchen as a glass box and a fully glazed gallery leading to the primary suite. Low windows in the living room give the client's Bull Terriers a view of the street and the back yard and the sun-filled gallery is a favorite place to sleep. - [Oak Street Lower Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oak-street-lower-level-pj-vj~4444965) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 14 - Description: The transformation of an existing basement to a space for living and entertaining.

The goal was to maintain the sprit of the house but shift it a little more contemporary in style. It was largely a matter of removing elements for a cleaner look. New windows and brick were added to define the entry. The beautiful existing slate floor in the entry was reconditioned and we were able to find a very close match to expand it into th… - [Huntington Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huntington-kitchen-pj-vj~3037262) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 6 - Description: It isn't often that we get to renovate an old RDM project! With a new owner the existing kitchen no longer fit their aesthetic and lifestyle. An existing exterior wall was removed opening the kitchen to the sunroom. This allowed for an island and more than double the amount of storage. The laundry room and mudroom became a part of the larger space hidden by custom casework. The existing corner window and skylight remained and bring light into the crisp clean space. - [Prairie Village Screen Porch and Interior Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairie-village-screen-porch-and-interior-transformation-pj-vj~7551071) - Location: Prairie Village, KS - Photos: 38 - Description: Patio was replaced with a grand screen porch with and outdoor kitchen, large island, dining area and seating area around a large wood burning fireplace.

We opened up and vaulted the main living space, relocated the stairs and added a glass office allowing for a space to work while still being a part of the rest of the house. Glass walls land on custom bookcases the also form the stair wall. Natural light floods in from new larger doors and windows and a bright new kitchen and generous primary suite complete the project. - [Prairie Village Cape Cod Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairie-village-cape-cod-transformation-pj-vj~7152212) - Location: Prairie Village, KS - Photos: 12 - Description: This was a total home remodel and included a conversion to a first floor primary suite and new dormer to allow to more space on the second floor.

Clerestory windows borrow light from a sunroom beyond. A back painted glass back splash, white cabinets with glass, and light colored counters help to further brighten the space and contrast with the clear finished walnut island. Opposite the kitchen a fireplace was removed and built-in storage for records and a turntable along with walnut floating shelves complete the design. - [Walnut Basement Bar](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walnut-basement-bar-pj-vj~7390654) - Location: Lee's Summit, MO - Photos: 5 - Description: Replacing a small and dated peninsula bar the new design fits the room better and gives the space a more open feel. Clear finish walnut and painted shaker style cabinets conceal plenty of storage and a small refrigerator. Cambria quartz countertops were used on the island and back or bar and selected to give an illusion of continuous veining. - [Prairie Village Transformation Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairie-village-transformation-kitchen-pj-vj~7455789) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Mission Deck and Covered Porch Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mission-deck-and-covered-porch-addition-pj-vj~6325408) - Location: Mission, KS - Photos: 14 - [Belvedere Lake House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/belvedere-lake-house-pj-vj~437904) - Location: Lake Quivira, KS - Photos: 51 - Description: A large house on a huge site.

A custom blend of natural stone was used throughout in combination with cut stone, cast stone and stucco. A unique house in a unique community. - [Prairie Village Transformation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairie-village-transformation-pj-vj~1104221) - Location: Prairie Village, KS - Photos: 3 - Description: A part of a larger, multi-phase renovation project that included a new kitchen, primary suite, and expanded living room and bedroom.

We took out the existing internal deck stair and incorporated the new circulation into a built-in bench and planter. This allowed for plantings outside the large existing picture window and defined the space for the new brick patio and grill area. Sun shades were added to protect the new large expanses of glass from the sun and the m… - [Yun Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yun-residence-pj-vj~285962) - Location: Mission Hills, KS - Photos: 12 - Description: Designed and detailed like a piece of furniture, the screen porch was always intended to be a jewel within a larger project. With a relatively simple footprint, the screen porch includes a vestibule that allows circulation in to and through the space to a patio as well as a covered outdoor kitchen. Skylights above allow natural light in to the house. Structure is the centerpiece. Exposed rafters pass through the posts and are protected by custom copper flashing.

Traditional and contemporary details are mixed throughout the house, matching the clients' taste and personality instead of a strict style. - [Stair as Art](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stair-as-art-pj-vj~48336) - Location: Kansas City, MO - Photos: 4 - Description: A renovation that included the replacement of a dated and unsafe stair with a new curved stair that became a major design element in the space. Glass rails with a wood cap and open risers maintain the transparency but are much safer than the existing stair. - [A "Suite" Basement Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-suite-basement-remodel-pj-vj~20943) - Location: Manhattan, KS - Photos: 14 - Description: Unlike the majority of basements this one has a fantastic view. As you enter the main space from the stairs you are faced with a new 12' wide double sliding door. The office was transformed into a bar / kitchen complete with dish washer and wine fridge. The owners are huge sports fans and this allows them to entertain in one space. At the other end of the room and 60" TV with surround sounds makes this the ultimate party space.
