Hoch Design Workshop LLC

I worked with Nick to design my 36'48' shop. It wasn't a complicated design, but Nick was great about walking me through the process and coming up with ideas I hadn't thought. I appreciated his attention to detail and how he explained concepts and options along the way. He also provided the work in the time that he quoted. But where Nick really shined was his customer service and project management. He managed the permit process and connected me with building contractors which was a big help, but he managed the process with the structural architect. The architect was a challenge to work with and Nick handled it very well. I highly recommend Nick's service.

A sheet of plywood costs $50, mortgage rates keep climbing, and finding a reliable carpenter is like finding a date for a middle school dance. Building a custom home in 2023 is not for the faint of heart, but doing it side by side with Nick Hoch has been a real privilege. From the start, Nick has operated like a true creative partner: Bring him your vision and he can bring it to life on paper right before your eyes. Watching a professional of his caliber work offers some real insight into just why it takes so long to become an architect. The guy is a savant. I came to him with a bizarro geodesic dome project and a tight deadline that probably would have sent most architects fleeing, but Nick seemed as excited for it as I was. He listened closely to what I was looking for, and managed to both capture it, and improve it with his own professional sensibilities. That tight deadline I mentioned? It was for an international Airbnb design contest – which Nick’s blueprints and renders helped my wife and I win! So his work not only impressed me, it impressed a panel of top-tier professionals. I feel absolutely confident saying we couldn’t have won without him. After we graduated from the creative phase, Nick proved his chops as project manager, helping connect me with the right engineers, navigate the tedious back-and-forth with them, and guide me through the permitting process. As my own general contractor doing this for the first time, it’s easy to feel out of my depth, but Nick is always there to point me back in the right direction or provide encouragement. It’s been a longer journey than I expected, and I’m not writing this from inside my new geodesic dome just yet, but I feel fortunate to have Nick at my back as we tackle this project together.

Nick was so much fun to work with! He was easy to communicate with and really listened to what we wanted to incorporate into our basement remodel project. We would recommend using him for your design needs.

I engaged Nick Hoch of Hoch Design Workshop, to help me rethink and remodel a very tired ranch house. My initials concerns were practical; There is no wall insulation, un-insulated windows, the floor plan is inefficient. The house felt dated and stagnant. Nick brought enthusiasm, experience, new ideas, and solutions I hadn't considered. Our ongoing back and forth exchanges continues to refine a design that brings new life to the building and will allow me to age in place. Looking forward to all the changes and plan on updating this as we continue the remodeling journey.

Nick Hoch is your go-to guy for top-notch architectural work! He recently revamped our kitchen, and WOW! We're super happy with how it turned out. Nick was a dream to collaborate with. He really paid attention to our vision for the space and offered up some creative and practical solutions that delivered in a big way. His knack for detail and thinking outside the box was just what we needed to bring our renovation to a successful completion. What sets Nick apart isn't just his design skills, but his excellent communication too. He was always in the loop about the project progress, addressing any concerns with professionalism and speed. He was right in there with the contractors, making sure every piece of work met the highest standards. I'd totally vouch for Nick and Hoch Design Workshop for any architectural needs. He's super talented, reliable, and dedicated - and he never fails to deliver a stunning result. Try him out, you won't regret it!

Nick and his team have been top-notch – easy to work with, hitting the details, and a wealth of knowledge!

Nick was great to work with. Would recommend him to anyone! He is thoughtful, professional and easy to communicate with. He has got an eye for design and is making the building process fun and low stress! I can't wait to get our project done, so I can post pictures!

Nick has been a pleasure to work with at every step of the process. Not only does he have great taste and obvious expertise, but he's also been incredibly patient as we work through our priorities for our house. Most importantly, he's 100% transparent about his role and the process—we have complete faith in Nick and would work with him again and again (if we ever have the opportunity to build another house).
