Ophir was also readily available to support us even when it wasn't directly related to his team, which we truly appreciated. Our contractor has yet to begin, but we are confident the final construction will reflect this beautiful design. Communication was seamless throughout, and the result so far speaks for itself. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, top-tier design work. We can't wait to reach out to Ophir for our next project!

I have known Ophir for a few years now, having first worked with him when he designed our Primary…read moreBathroom five years ago. 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.

We chose Brian from 4 different architects based on his portfolio as well as his general demeanor in dealing with people. He gave us several design options when we told him our wish list and worked closely with us in the lead-up to the actual construction; tweaking the designs to accommodate our ideas and presenting us with alternative ideas to help us realize better design options. Brian's familiarity with Teaneck, NJ building codes was very important to our project as my wife and I had heard from other contractors and architects that Teaneck is a lot more stringent than other townships. We found this to be true during subsequent inspections during the 6-month course of construction as well as post-construction application for Certificate of Occupancy. Brian was with us every step of the way, helping us resolve unforeseen issues (HVAC) as well as providing various drawings required by the township at various stages leading up to the CO. We can whole-heartedly recommend Callahan Architecture for the quality of the work as well as quality of Brian's character.

After taking the initial payment, there was no meaningful delivery. I did not receive a single professional, usable artifact. Communication was inconsistent to nonexistent, with weeks and even months of silence. He stated he only works Saturdays and often said "my phone will start ringing," which clearly impacted delivery. In one exchange he became defensive and dismissive, which was unprofessional. If someone cannot manage time and communication, the outcome suffers--exactly what happened here. I had to terminate the engagement, losing time and money, and received no follow-up or accountability. I ignored my initial instincts and regret it. Think carefully before hiring.
