We hired OH Design Lab to help us with a remodel on Honey Creek in Lexington. We were enlarging a master bath and updating our kitchen. Mr. Hidalgo was a pleasure to work with, easy to contact and did a great job. We originally wanted drawings of what needed to be done to ensure that the reconfiguration was possible. Oliver also asked to be the general contractor for the project and we agreed. The work of the team could not have been better. All issues were addressed and solved in a timely manner. Even the tiniest detail was taken care of and in a timely manner. Please consider using this team if you want a great job. Linda and John

I have worked with Oliver as an interior designer professionally for a few years, and he has always been professional and wonderful to work with. His architectural drawings are very detailed and portray exquisite designs. I am currently working with a mutual client on interior design and hope to continue to work with him on future projects as they develop!

Oliver Is amazing. We choose him because we were looking for something different. Not the cookie cutter house. We wanted something that tied into the local history but with the modernist feel with clean. He took the compilations of ideas we had to make something more then I could ever imagine. We were impressed with his attention to detail and his quick responses. I can wait to get this project of the ground into something that could really be in the cover of the next Dewell magazine.

We chose Oliver Hidalgo Designs after a thorough interview process with several local architects. The first thing that stuck out was the attention to detail in the initial proposal. It was as if he and his team were able to take the ideas straight from our heads and make it come to life. Oliver and his team were able to deliver a finish d product that was EXACTLY what we were looking for. They definitely went way over and way beyond anything we could have asked for. Creative, professional, detail oriented, customer driven, are just a few things I can say about this team.

I would highly recommend Oliver Hidalgo Designs to anyone looking for an architect for any project. I know if we need any architect services I'm the future we will be back to Oliver. Thank you Oliver Hidalgo and team for bringing our dream to life!
