Testimonials
“We hired ONY to design and build a new house for us. We were looking for a modern design architect and were recommended to discuss our project with ONY. After interviewing several firms, we felt the most comfortable with Nima at ONY. During the design and construction process, ONY was very thorough, creative, and professional. We are very pleased with the creatively modern design for our new home, and happy with the overall process. We would certainly recommend Nima and ONY to anyone”
“We loved the creativity and attention to detail. It was also very helpful that they could recommend a good contractor to do a good job with our renovation. The cost of the project was almost dead on budget but the schedule did shift a bit, but that didn’t affect us too much. We absolutely love the design and get compliments from people driving by often. A thrilled client”
“ONY was fantastic to work with. Nima and team were creative, collaborative, and transparent through the design and build process. Milestones and budgets were kept. ONY was always responsive and managed the project with a clear sense of pride about achieving the best finished product.”
“ONY Architecture redesigned a living/dining/kitchen area in a brownstone into a inviting expansive space that took advantage of the beautiful views of the city/river skyline. Small alterations of some of the existing details provided a new updated look while the bar and kitchen in addition to a small bathroom were completely modernized. Every detail was scrutinized from the basics of plastering to the execution of a woodworking detail. A happy customer.”
“My husband and I hired ONY (Nima) to renovate our 1830’s historic farmhouse on the south shore. The interior of the house needed to be completely redone (kitchen, living room, mudroom, bathroom), plus we had to add a second bathroom. ONY came up with beautiful solutions which were transitional in design (style we desired), but also met our budget expectations.”
“Nima was a pleasure to work with. I originally contacted him regarding the design of a staircase however after seeing his skills I recruited him to help redesign my entire apartment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. During the design process Nima continuously displayed designs that were both aesthetically pleasing and highly practical. I would certainly do business with ONY again”
“Nima’s design was innovative, creative, and modern while keeping with my taste. I verbally gave him ideas and then showed him a few designs that I liked (from loft design books) and he ran with it. I can’t tell you how many compliments I get on the design when really the credit should go to Nima. ONY stayed on budget and the projected time frame.”
“My wife and I hired ONY to renovate our three story house in Somerville a few years ago. Nima came up with very creative ways to maximize the use of our space for our growing family in a modern and minimalist way. The renovation which was a full gut project, has completely changed the way we live - for the better. Very professional and respectful. Highly recommend!”
