Building Designers in Minden

“Scott at Sandbox is amazing. His design was beautiful and well thought out. He has been timely with everything. Our house is going to be incredible.”

“David Jobe didn't know me when I first called him. He patiently listened to what I wanted (a 3D rendering to show perspective buyers (which wasn't built at the time, just blueprints)) and came up with a dimension of my house showing it at it's best possible angle. I have big mountains as my view, and he was able to capture that as well. At 2nd phone meeting, (the next day) I was able to get the color and some landscape put in. It is truly an "artist's" rendering. Very easy to work with.....and "gets it" the first time. Doesn't drag you out of budget. Wish him much success.”

“When we started our remodel project I began asking everyone who was building or remodeling who they recommended to design the remodel. One said everyone uses "X", so I spoke to "X". Wasn't totally happy but figured everyone knew what they were talking about. Loved a new house I saw on a bike ride and so stopped and asked who designed their home. Turns out it wasn't a new home, but a remodel and they were thrilled with the work. Well they were now. They had started with another designer, been unhappy and changed to David. I was even more impressed when I found out that this was an add on because you couldn't tell it wasn't a fully and organically designed complete home. As I left the owners parting words were oh and I should tell you who the original person was we weren't happy with… You guessed it "X". During the design portion of our project I also stopped at a series of houses on a street nearby because they were each unique and I liked each one of them. They ranged from traditional mountain "cabin" to modern sustainable. The designer? They were all David's. What impressed me the most was the range of designs he does, the range of mediums (cedar, stucco, concrete), how happy all of his customers were, his academic background and how easy it was to work through together during the entire project as we changed our minds several times about things. If I were to design another remodel or house, I wouldn't bother to look for a different architect. He is both a great architect and a great person to work with. We have been totally pleased from beginning to end and love our new home.”

“Lori Phariss did a fantastic job on my recent home addition/renovation. She is professional, listened to all my ideas as we moved forward with the project, and kept me up to date every step of the way. l have since passed contact info for Lori Phariss on to many of my friends looking to also renovate or add to their homes. One friend has already hired Lori to design a Casita (in-law quarters) being added to their current property. Highly recommend Lori Phariss if you are looking for a great person to work with … you can anticipate excellent end results!”

“Elise Fett is an Expert in her field of Architecture, Design and great taste. Elise is creative, yet practical and conscious of our budget. I appreciate the fact that she is an Engineer also. Elise knows Tahoe style which is very important to me. Her staff, including Kelly and Courtney, are great team players with lots of talent. We recommend Elise Fett & Associates, Ltd.”

“Steve Hendrix and i have worked together for many years. He takes a very rough drawing I jot down for him and makes it a professional to scale plan that I can turn in to any HOA. Steve always gets my work done in a very timely manner and at a affordable price. I would recommend Nevada Home design and do so to anyone looking to add on or in need of design work done.”

“I am a restoration contractor in the Tahoe area. We work with many customers needing guidance and direction when it comes to planning their remodel. Todd has great taste and provides a practical approach while creating a unique and fresh design. He also has proven to be thorough, communicative, and available. I highly recommend Todd and Gary Davis Group as a local resource for your design and engineering needs. Ned Riley President/Contractor Tahoe Mold and Water”

“OOA is a first-rate office with "out of the box" creativity coupled with an incredibly precise attention to every detail, both exterior and interior. I have been a member of the consulting team for years and have watched how their seemingly exhaustive involvement during the construction process insures their vision is consistent from the design table to the certificate of occupancy. They approach every project, regardless of size, with the same expectations - a beautiful structure that meets all expectations of an owner's hopes. The personal care and time OOA invests in every project is very evident when the project is built. The pictures on this site speak for themselves.”

“Eric Sudhausen has assembled a young, smart, capable team of designers who provide excellent service. I have worked with them on several projects and, not only do I find them to be a pleasure to collaborate with, but they present clever and insightful design solutions to our clients. Cory Sierra Sustainable Builders, Inc.”

“Brian Hendrix is a very knowledgeable architect who I was very happy with. He did an excellent job on our new house plans. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an architect.”
