My wife and I engaged Otto-walker to help design our new home in Deer Valley. Rick Otto and Jeff Johnson have done a great job working with us over the last 12 months on the design of our custom home. We had some very specific ideas about what we wanted to see in our home. They have worked with us to improve and refine our ideas and helped to bring the concept to life. We will certainly have a much better finished product as a result of their guidance and contribution during the design process.

Rick Otto and his firm are true professionals -- detail-oriented, creative, flexible, friendly, and accessible. Rick and his team were able to take our vision for our home and turn it into a reality, and the results are stunning! From the initial renderings to the final plans, Rick worked closely with us to refine and modify them to match the look we were trying to achieve. From the beginning Rick knew what our homeowner's association required and he ensured the approval and permitting process went smoothly. He and his team met all deadlines. Because we live out of town and could not be present throughout the entire project, we relied on Rick to monitor the progress and handle any issues concerning the plans and specifications that may have arisen. We started discussing the renderings in late 2014, broke ground in the spring of 2015, and we are now essentially complete, save for some exterior work delayed by late spring snowfall. We recommend Rick and his firm with enthusiasm!

Mark Walker and Jeff Johnson work is thoughtful, creative and through. I have built several contemporary homes with them in last three years to rave reviews. Their sense of space, proportions and clever exterior design makes their home design unique in getting both the inside and outside to fell very integrated and functional. And they are great and fun guys to work with. Paul Jennings

While this was our first project with Otto- Walker we have built and remodeled homes for the past 24 years. It was also our first Park City Project. Otto-Walker was by far the best architectural firm we have worked with. They are very knowledgeable regarding local zoning regulations. They collaborated with our contractor and local boards adapting our project to conform with regulations when site issues arose. Their responsiveness kept our project on time and on budget, rare in the building experience. We also found their them be be creative but, willing to incorporate our ideas into the concept. They listen to the client. Overall we would recommend Otto-Walker.

This was the second house they designed for us. Both turned out better than we expected. We loved working with them and would use the firm again. Their design was so complete that we rarely had to make any changes. Their follow up after the design was also excellent. We have recommended them to many of our friends who have also been very satisfied with the design and plans.
