### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Wendy Head, Jan. 2020**

> Rob was great to work with. He listened patiently to our long wish list and ideas, took notes, and designed exactly what we envisioned in a timely manner. He incorporated the changes we wanted, followed the HOA guidelines, and turned out an awesome plan! He’s been happy to make small changes because we all know women can change their minds! We cannot wait to see our completed home in a few months! Highly recommend Design Originals!

**★★★★★ — Chris Dieter, March 2017**

> Design Originals was an extremely efficient and talented group to work with on our project. Rob was professional and creative from the beginning of our consultation until it's completion. Any needed amendments and adjustments where made quickly and enabled our project to proceed without delays so common in the industry. It would be impossible to recommend a business or a designer higher. It was simply a fabulous experience!

**★★★★★ — 4kims, July 2016**

> I love working with Rob at Design Originals!!!   He's well versed in different architecture styles, and can assist homeowners from their first home, all the way to grand estate homes. We're builders, and I've now used Rob for three of our personal homes. The first was a European styled home in Memorial, after that project went so well, I knew I'd use him for my future personal homes.  The second was a very detailed stone exterior European home,  10,000 square feet, and I was happy with every inch of it.  At the moment, Rob is assisting me with a Colorado vacation home, the newly built home will have the appearance of an old farmhouse.     Design Originals also did the plans for my daughter and son-in-law's new home.  They are very happy with the end product, and greatly enjoying their new home.
