We were very happy with all aspects of the project. It posed some unique issues because we needed to inhabit the house during the process. Ryan worked with the builders to plan and facilitate this. > His designs not only preserved the character of our mid-century modern ranch, they greatly enhanced it. He was an invaluable resource for choosing surfaces and colors. > We are very grateful that we found Ryan and his diligence and his solid partnership with the builder changed our house and our life for the better. **★★★★★ — CARRIE THOMPSON, July 2025** > Ryan is very easy to work with. He knows multiple builders ( recommended the one we used), knows the ins and outs of the entire process, helps pick materials, keeps his clients within their budget and acts as an advocate. Ryan is willing to be as involved as you need or want. He kept an eye on the builder and contractors to make sure they were following the plans. Working with Ryan was well worth the investment. Our project would not have turned out so beautifully without him. I would highly recommend him and look forward to using his skills in the future! Thank you, Ryan! **Comment from Ryan Duebber Architect, LLC:** > Thank you Carrie. It was a pleasure working with you and Greg and I look forward to Phase II. **★★★★★ — Jen Michel, July 2025** > Ryan took on a complicated project for us—the transformation of an old, dilapidated pool house at the bottom of our backyard hill into a bright, airy, three-season space with a large patio. The design details were beautifully aligned with our main house, a 1930s Cincinnati Tudor. At every step of the project, Ryan demonstrated a high level of personal investment and engagement, and his broad array of expertise helped along the way. We're thrilled with the space and grateful for Ryan's work! **Comment from Ryan Duebber Architect, LLC:** > Thanks Jen. We enjoyed the challenge of the project and the joy of working with you. **★★★★★ — Amisha Shah, Dec. 2023** > For the longest time, we had wanted to turn our backyard into a beautiful and functional outdoor space, and especially after the pandemic, more so where we could entertain outdoors - complete with a bathroom and kitchenette/grilling area. We are tremendously grateful that we connected with Ryan to help us design and plan out the space just right for us. He is meticulous, thorough and transparent in everything he does, from communication to design documents to followup. Ryan is friendly and good to work with; he made the entire process less intimidating, less overwhelming and more doable. We highly recommend him, if you're looking for an architect who blends aesthetic with form, in a practical but beautiful way. **Comment from Ryan Duebber Architect, LLC:** > Thank you so much Amisha for trusting me to lead you through your project and create such a beautiful new space for your home. We made a great team! **★★★★★ — arijalynn, April 2023** > I cannot say enough good things about working with Ryan at RDA. We came to Ryan with the Herculean task of helping us renovate our new home in Cincinnati while we were overseas in Australia for a work assignment. We had to communicate remotely the entire project and were only able to meet in person one time during the course of the remodel. He as able to take our 1979 contemporary home and update it in a way that stayed true to the house's style while providing us with a modern and beautiful update. Ryan's plans and organization made it easy to get thorough and accurate bids. He also was helpful in providing a list of contractors. He listened to what we wanted but also presented new ideas that really made the remodel special. I highly recommend RDA and would work with him again in the future without hesitation. **★★★★★ — KimandDavid Martineau, Dec. 2021** > We used RDA on our whole house remodel with addition project. From the very first meeting we were completely impressed. We knew what we were looking for but he had the vision to make it happen. Our project was atypical for our area. Most people would have torn down the house and rebuilt new. Ryan braved the journey of keeping the character of the house while adding room for our family. The final product looks like everything could have been part of the original house and not something added on as an afterthought. The complexity of our roof line was beyond our comprehension but not our appreciation. He did a masterful job at combining our ideas with a plan and style that we absolutely love. Another (and not insignificant) thing we are very thankful for is the contractor Ryan recommended. They executed his plans with precision, attention to detail and responsiveness. We could not imagine doing this any other way or with any other architect. **★★★★★ — habigje, Nov. 2021** > Ryan helped us to redesign the layout of the second and third floors of our 1915 colonial home. This included a completely re-envisioned master bedroom and bathroom as well as turning an unusable space on the third floor into a guest suite and guest bathroom. One special touch we truly love are the His and Hers walk-in closets he designed for us. Ryan’s design acumen is exceptional. Being a University of Cincinnati, DAAP graduate myself, I appreciated that he is also an alumnus. His attention to detail and ability to make creative use of every inch of space wowed us. Not only that, Ryan works with the finest craftsmen in Cincinnati ensuring a beautiful finished product. We appreciated that he maintained the traditional character of the rest of the home while also infusing a modern sensibility. He was patient, quick to respond to any questions we had and very easy to work with. RDA definitely has our recommendation and we would not hesitate to contact Ryan for any future projects. **★★★★★ — Stephanie Duggan, Nov. 2021** > We are returning clients of Ryan's for a reason! Our first project was a master bedroom and bathroom remodel in an old Tudor. Second project was a complete gut job, down to the studs and remodel of a classic Colonial. His design skill is unbelievable. What I appreciated the most was Ryan listened to our vision and requests and conceptualized everything we were thinking. He is fantastic and attention to detail is incredible. **★★★★★ — Liam Duggan, Nov. 2021** > Ryan has helped us out now on 2 house projects. His attention to detail in his drawings and his creative yet functional designs are what have impressed us the most and kept us coming back as repeat customers. He is very professional and I would highly recommend him for any size home renovation or new build project. **★★★★★ — 104m3, Nov. 2021** > This was our second project with Ryan. We were so pleased with the outcome of our first remodeling project with RDA that we decided to seek out Ryan again for an even larger project this time around. We remodeled most of our first floor living space to include the kitchen, laundry room, family room, dining area and office. We have a contemporary taste and sometimes it can be challenging to find someone who sees the vision we have for our space exactly as we do, but Ryan always seems to know what we want. Two months into our remodel, the world shut down with the pandemic but Ryan and the contractor did not falter and the project was still able to be completed in a timely manner. There were very few surprises if at all and we could not be happier with the final outcome. Ryan always took the time to make sure we were getting exactly what we envisioned and there was great attention to detail and quality. We would definitely look to Ryan again if we had any more projects left to do. We would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone seeking a remodel. **★★★★★ — nandinic, Aug. 2021** > There needs to be a 5+ rating here! I found Ryan on houzz as I was searching for inspiration ideas for my outdoor living area reno. He was able to take all of my visions and incorporate them into a sophisticated, Zen oasis. In additional to having amazing creativity and mad design skills, Ryan is friendly, funny, easy to work with, and extremely patient. He also went over and above to step-in and support me during the construction and material selection process. So...if Ryan can take on your project, search no more!! **★★★★★ — Patrick Melugin, Nov. 2020** > A wonderful experience. > I told Ryan what I wanted. He took that vision and made it better than I thought possible. > His attention to detail is amazing and the improvements that he added were fantastic. > I cannot recommend his services enough, if you want your project to be bigger and better than you can imagine. > Thanks Ryan for everything. ## Selected projects - [Highland House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-house-pj-vj~6717950) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: The Highland House is located in the rolling hills of Warren County, Ohio in a development that was created by a group of discerning families who shared common values. Their goal was to enjoy the natural beauty, peace and privacy of a rural setting while integrating the conveniences of modern life. The development consists of 43 lots ranging in size from 2 to 4 acres with shared amenities including a community pool, fishing pond, playground, 40+ acres of green space, repurposed community barn, h… - [Raymar Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/raymar-bath-pj-vj~6717994) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: The Raymar Bath design solution began by thoroughly understanding the homeowner’s wish list as well as the existing mechanical limitations. The following amenities were requested: (1) a larger and more accessible shower space, (2) his and her sinks, (3) a private toilet room and (4) updated fixtures and modernized aesthetics. There were two mechanical limitations. First, the toilet was required to remain near the existing location based on waste stack proximity and floor joist layout. Second, th… - [BC Residence Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bc-residence-kitchen-pj-vj~5732341) - Location: Indian Hill, OH - Photos: 9 - Description: The BC Kitchen remodel was driven by the client’s desire to not only create an open floor plan but to reuse the existing five-year-old European laminate cabinetry. A new access point was provided adjacent to the living room to conceal the kitchen when entering the home. The design was developed using a symmetrical layout with a large central island which allowed 85% of the existing cabinets to be utilized. The cabinets that were not used were re-purposed to provide door and drawer fronts for new… - [Pilot House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pilot-house-pj-vj~5732259) - Location: Madeira, OH - Photos: 12 - Description: The Pilot House renovation design strategy focused on reworking the kitchen layout to increase work area while also opening the space to the adjacent foyer and dining areas. The existing doorway openings between rooms were quite narrow and not conducive for entertaining or family interaction. The homeowners were bothered by these disconnections and wanted to turn their space into a chef’s kitchen that would become a centerpiece for the home. Walls and doorways closing off the basement stair and… - [Standish Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/standish-residence-pj-vj~5732151) - Location: Detroit, MI - Photos: 14 - Description: Built in 1966, the Standish residence, stands as a sculptural gem in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield, Michigan. The brick used throughout the home matches the masonry that was utilized on many of the buildings at the nearby Cranbrook Academy of Art designed by Eliel Saarinen. The expansive great room space originally contained an in-ground pool. The outer wings surrounding the pool area contained the living and bedroom areas. These areas were originally separated from the stone pool deck by use… - [Corbin Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/corbin-residence-pj-vj~5731650) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 12 - Description: The Corbin Residence, built in 1966, was designed by Carl Strauss, a respected Cincinnati modernist of the time. The home is unique in its formality with use of strict symmetrical volumes and repetitive arched openings. The primary goal of this major interior remodel project was to introduce new finishes and functional arrangements while rigorously respecting the established architectural language and details of the home. We achieved this was by using simple geometries, clean lines and establish… - [Chapel Hill Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chapel-hill-residence-pj-vj~98002) - Location: Chapel Hill, NC - Photos: 14 - Description: This modest retirement home was designed for one-story living in a material palette which complements its surroundings. Cypress siding wraps the facade with large window openings that bring the outside inside filling the home with natural light. The large overhanging roofs protect the home from the harsh southern exposure. The pool is uniquely set in the front of the home to take full advantage of the southern exposure. A second floor wing above the garage area serves to accomodate their vistors… - [Dryden Avenue Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dryden-avenue-kitchen-pj-vj~728439) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 10 - Description: The design strategy for this renovation was unifying the kitchen and dining room spaces for social and functional purposes. The wall separating the two spaces was a bearing wall and contained the main waste stack and two air ducts. To facilitate the relocation and routing of these components a new thickened wall and pointed arch was created. This arch design mimics existing archways which occur throughout the first floor area. A niche was created at each end of the arch and is accented with hone… - [Laramie Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/laramie-residence-pj-vj~1955223) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 14 - Description: This modest mid-century modern home needed to expand to accommodate a growing active family. The specific program requirements requested were to add a shared bathroom, screened porch, mudroom and a detached two-car garage. The locations and size for each of the additions was a response to logical functional connections as well as sensitivity to the massing and roof connection points. The screened porch volume was derived as an extrusion of the family room gable end profile and anchors the rear e… - [BC Residence Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bc-residence-master-bath-pj-vj~1033333) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 8 - Description: There were two primary objectives for this master bathroom remodel. The first was to update and modernize the existing finishes and fixtures. The next objective was to increase the perceived volume without adversely affecting adjacent spaces. The design solution started with relocating the toilet compartment. The north wall was shifted 16” into the master bedroom. A large skylight was installed that penetrates the volume and allows natural light to flood the space. These modifications amplify an… - [Raymar Residence Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/raymar-residence-kitchen-pj-vj~1958695) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 14 - Description: As time has passed, the 1925 built Raymar home has undergone many remodels and cultural changes. These changes have produced a dysfunctional, outdated and cumbersome arrangement. The design solution focused on improving each function and creating better flow through the space. The first significant change was relocating the bathroom near the rear entry. This enabled the largest volume of space to be utilized for a new u-shaped kitchen. The range/ hood and island became the central feature of the… - [McAlpin Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mcalpin-loft-pj-vj~2704831) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - Description: Located within the Central Business District of Cincinnati, Ohio, this penthouse loft is situated on the third floor of a historic multi-family building. It was a single level “white box” unit with a unique footprint of 25 ft wide by 120 ft in length. At each end of the long and narrow volume there are window/door openings which serve as the only sources for natural light. There is direct elevator access from a private parking garage for the homeowner while guests enter through a secured lobby.… - [West Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-bath-pj-vj~1998949) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: The primary design parameters established by the homeowner for this master bathroom remodel were to create a modern spa-like retreat and improve access into the tub and shower functions. The vanity was repositioned at the terminus of the new bath space to become the visual anchor and allow space for the new freestanding tub. To maintain access into the closet and laundry area, 20” was absorbed from the width of the adjacent bathroom. The existing ribbon exterior window became a secondary focal p… - [Four Bridges Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/four-bridges-residence-pj-vj~308300) - Location: Liberty Township, OH - Photos: 10 - Description: The Four Bridges residence is located on one of the finest golf courses in Greater Cincinnati. The design and form of the covered patio addition was derived from the existing site conditions and architectural features. To create a seamless transition between the new and existing architecture, the new roof structure was married into the existing gable end roof structure. On the interior this allowed the existing vaulted kitchen ceiling to be continued out over the patio. A new stamped concrete su… - [Pinebrook Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pinebrook-residence-pj-vj~218860) - Location: Cleveland, OH - Photos: 20 - Description: After purchasing this seventeen year old home the owners wanted to reinvent the interiors to take on a modern aesthetic. The rooms that received the most significant changes were the kitchen and master bathroom areas. The existing kitchen layout and esthetics did not fit the lifestyle of the owner. For the new layout the cabinet arrangement was greatly simplified, walls were removed to provide better visual connection to adjacent rooms and the existing flat ceiling was removed to open up the spa… - [Brommel Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brommel-bath-pj-vj~193739) - Location: Montgomery, OH - Photos: 9 - Description: The design concept for this powder room originated from the location of the new vanity. The vanity was positioned on the left side of the space to maximize floor area and maintain current rough-in location. The simple lines of the vanity cabinet are continued vertically to define the edges of the heavy proportioned mirror frame. Having the frame extend from the counter to the ceiling allows the mirror surface to be maximized giving the room the illusion of more space and height. The wood frame c… - [Erie Avenue Residence Cabinetry and Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/erie-avenue-residence-cabinetry-and-fireplace-pj-vj~189030) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: The homeowner decided to downsize from a traditional four-bedroom suburban style home and purchased this minimalist LEED certified condo. To accommodate their lifestyle and storage needs, built-in cabinetry was designed to complement the existing architectural language and material palette of the home. Bamboo veneer was chosen based on its color, sustainable values and simplistic grain pattern. To provide warmth to the space and create a visual anchor between the cabinetry the linear burner unit… - [Foxgate Basement Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/foxgate-basement-renovation-pj-vj~108048) - Location: Symmes Township, OH - Photos: 12 - Description: Clean lines, bold colors and simple materials define this modern lower level renovation. As is typical with many growing families in suburbia there is always a desire for more living space. The owner’s wanted to renovate their unfinished basement primarily to have more “play” space for themselves and for their two children. The organization and flow of the spaces was critical to the success of the project. As you enter the lower level the existing stair was generously opened to connect with the… - [Duncan Avenue Basement Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/duncan-avenue-basement-renovation-pj-vj~97780) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 12 - Description: The 1319 Residence was built in 1923 with a basement used primarily to accommodate mechanical equipment, laundry facilities and storage. The owner’s desire was to convert this utility area into a modern comfortable living environment that reflected their personalities and interests. Some of the challenges associated with the existing space were its small size (700 sf), age, and available ceiling heights (6’-7” to 7’-4”). A mixed palette of materials was integrated into the design to delineate sp… - [Outdoor Living - Symmes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-symmes-pj-vj~99692) - Location: Symmes Township, OH - Photos: 8 - Description: The design criteria for this project was centered around renovating the existing back yard to create a unique and modern outdoor living environment that provided space for dining, entertaining and playing. The back of the home faces southwest. As a result, the new upper deck was covered with a roof structure to provide shading and protection from the elements. The existing deck area was expanded to provide space for both dining and lounging. A new stairway was integrated into the design to allow… [See all 22 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/ryan-duebber-architect-llc-pfvwus-pf~58731138) ## Ideabooks - [RDA baths](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/171708022/list/rda-baths) — 1 idea - [Gossman Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/169620500/list/gossman-master-bath) — 6 ideas - [Baumann - cupola](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118427133/list/baumann-cupola) — 23 ideas - [RDA- French](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/132705602/list/rda-french) — 3 ideas - [RDA - hoods](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/166585854/list/rda-hoods) — 14 ideas - [Rustic Range Hoods](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/120076903/list/rustic-range-hoods) — 37 ideas - [RDA - Sunroom / Porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/162664023/list/rda-sunroom-porch) — 9 ideas - [RDA- Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/89963266/list/rda-kitchen) — 34 ideas - [Arts and Craft Baths](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/161101109/list/arts-and-craft-baths) — 17 ideas - [RDA - Stair](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/152860476/list/rda-stair) — 5 ideas - [House - exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/114093783/list/house-exteriors) — 13 ideas - [Dryden- Master](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116265535/list/dryden-master) — 18 ideas - [Raymar bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/135341162/list/raymar-bath) — 29 ideas - [RDA - Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/109249796/list/rda-landscape) — 7 ideas - [RDA - covered porch](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/133334267/list/rda-covered-porch) — 8 ideas - [RDA-farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70708566/list/rda-farmhouse) — 90 ideas - [RDA - River view](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/115548525/list/rda-river-view) — 61 ideas - [Dryden Garage](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/128494123/list/dryden-garage) — 6 ideas - [Symmes Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/126131610/list/symmes-kitchen) — 15 ideas - [RDA- Pool house](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/125796905/list/rda-pool-house) — 10 ideas [See all 36 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ryan-duebber) ## Community Q&A **Q: Size and spacing of horizontal boards on panels** *(in Photo Questions)* Good morning, could. You share the size of the horizontal boards? They look to be 1” x 1” or 2”? How far apart are each spaced? Thank you. A: Hi. The horizontals are 1-1/2"x1-1/2" western red cedar members placed 1-1/2" apart. **Q: Is there a floor plan available?** *(in Photo Questions)* Curious about the sq footage, \# of bedrooms, general layout A: Hi. Here are some stats on the home... 4/5 bedrooms and 5 full + 1 half baths (4105 SF plus basement) I. Finished first floor area = 2634 SF (master suite, kitchen, living, dining, laundry/ mudroom, guest full bath adjacent to sitting room/ bedroom room, powder, covered rear porch, and garage) II. Finished Second floor area = 1471 SF ( 2 bedrooms with Jack and Jill bath, playroom and guest suite / craft room above garage) III. Finished basement below left wing (includes a wet bar, TV area, game area, fitness full bathroom and storage) IV.. Detached 2 car garage with an office above **Q: can you tell me what type of wood the cabinets are?** *(in Photo Questions)* Thank you! A: They are rift sawn white oak with a custom stain. **Q: Ceiling of steam shower** *(in Photo Questions)* Is there a slope to the ceiling of the steam shower to allow for condensation runoff? Thanks in advance A: Yes. It is discreet and slopes towards the entry door. The tile council of American has pretty extreme suggested slope. Their suggestion applies more to a commercial installation where the steam shower is always on. It will drip eventually and those drops can be cooler than the air. **Q: Hi, congrats for the beautiful project! I want to build a similar one** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me please if the terrace structure is built only in wood or the base is made by concrete as well the staircase? Thank you very much, Carmen A: I am sorry I don't really understand your question. The foundations for the covered porch, stone walls and patio are concrete. The stair and porch structure(above grade) is all wood framed. **Q: glass shower doors** *(in Photo Questions)* how do you construct the glass shower door, is there a product you need to support the glass A: In this application the glass installer used a horizontal support bar to brace the glass adjacent to the door opening. The door is hinged off the rear wall. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-17.*
