Here is all you need to know: Dan is the best architect you…read morecould dream of or be blessed with. Boom. No more needs to be said -- --but I will anyway -- He is just amazing. We had a HUGE job -- new construction and 3/4 of the house taken down to studs. We are out at the beginning of the Gorge and traveling here was not a big deal for him. That was so helpful and refreshing! Our project took a long time, and Dan was never-wavering and consistent in his constant shepherding. Above and beyond only begins to describe Dan. Dan takes the time to get to know you, how you live and what your space could look like for you. He is daring, but structurally diligent and sound. He is cutting edge on sustainability and eco-efficient houses. His designs have grace, beauty, simplicity, and strength. See his website, but trust me: Dan is the best advocate and dream-maker you could hope for if you are going to remodel. One of (the many) things I love about Dan is how he loves projects big and small. It is the people he bases his choices on for who he works for. If he likes you and what you are all about, he will take you on. Don't be put off with that -- it just means he will take your project PERSONALLY because he cares about YOU. (Renz, the Jack Terrior, will probably have to like you too. He goes everywhere with Dan.) And if you can "let go and let Dan," he will exceed all the smart ideas you thought you had for your space. I thought I knew all the solutions and neat things for our project. HA! Never in my wildest dreams could I have thought up what he did. Every day I walk around our house and think: I would have never thought of this or this is just so perfect. You are welcome to come see my house... but you should be forewarned: you will not want to go with anyone else once you see what he has done and once I get through smothering you with my accolades for him. One more thing: listen when he tells you who the good construction companies are in Portland.

Lisa and her designer created something that matched the rough thoughts we had, but went several steps beyond, making it better than what I had imagined in several ways. We started with some tired, neglected landscaping containing a lot of (sick) grass, and some drainage issues, and from that they created a mini nature park in our backyard, including a river-rock-filled dry creek bed, a packed gravel walkway around it, built-in drip irrigation, lighting, as well as a plan for trees and shrubs that will invite birds, bees, butterfiles, etc. This plan was executed by a company she frequently partners with - Oregon Outdoor Living - and they were great to work with as well. The workers are highly skilled and diligent. We're looking forward to see how it grows out! Communication has been excellent all of the way through. I don't think you can go wrong with her and her team.

We used Holah D+A for a major home remodel and addition. Greg and Libby were fantastic to work…read morewith. They listened to our ideas, added some cool ideas of their own, and designed a home that we love! Their design kept the 1950's vibe of our home, but updated it with a more modern style. From the basketweave design of the floor in the kitchen to the spa-like feel of the master bath, every touch is perfect. They were a tremendous help at every stage of the remodel. They helped make finish choices, worked with the contractor to keep the project moving, and helped make sure we got everything we asked for and more. We couldn't have done it with them!

They were able to recommend several exceptional contractors that they'd worked with, which helped us get off to a timely start on the remodel.

Greg added additional character to the front of the house with the addition of a covered porch and addition to the garage to accommodate a workshop.

Once we finish this bathroom we're on to the redesign of the kitchen - I'll be back in touch with him next year! I would highly recommend his services.
