From the moment he rang our doorbell he showed zero interest in helping us design our new home. Which is why I really don't understand why he came. Then he said he would email me a proposal, but I never even gave him my email address and when I asked him if he had it, he said yes I have it somewhere. Which further proved he had no interest in doing our project and of course I never received an email. Very unprofessional. Since then we have found a much better architect and are very pleased with his professionalism.

Based on that positive experience, we recently reached out to him again to redesign our kitchen. Ophir's dedication to his clients is truly outstanding performance . He listens attentively to all our requests and translates them into a creative and functional design. His ability to balance our needs with innovative ideas resulted in a space that not only meets our expectations but exceeds them in terms of aesthetics and practicality. Throughout both projects, Ophir demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a genuine commitment to ensuring we were satisfied with every detail. The drawings were clear to our contractor and the building department that simplified the process. We are thrilled with our new kitchen and our open space design. We continue to receive compliments on the primary bathroom he designed. If you are looking for a designer who truly cares about his clients and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Ophir design concepts.

I saw a passive house he was gut renovating in Park Slope, and it was absolutely stunning! Jim knows how to preserve historic details while bringing the design into the modern era in a tasteful, classic way. He exudes calmness and wisdom and is a pleasure to be around. Full disclosure in that I ultimately had to choose a less experienced architect because Jim's fee, although completely reasonable given his level of skill and expertise, was a bit out of our price range.

Jim is very detailed and each week during renovation, we had him manage the project with the contractor to ensure the final output was done properly. Most Manhattan apartments are not symmetrical, so the early stage on doing things a certain way goes a long way on the final look. He understands plumbing, and electrical well to communicate to our contractors. He referred us to a HVAC engineer. When it came to interior design, we had Sarah who provided feedback and suppliers information. She was also very helpful. Jim knows the DOB process well and helped us resolved many issues even during covid and DOB rule changed in 2020 and 2021. We also had him manage the project with the contractors. The contractors don't have the same design eyes and were a bit sloppy and forgetful so it was imperative to have Jim help us. Urban charges by the hour and provided an accurate estimate of the cost. Make sure what projects he's working on so he can allocate time properly. In the beginning with the design drawing schematic, it took a while cause he was on a couple of brownstone projects but overall still have a very positive experience with Jim. He was responsive.
