Several years ago, on the recommendation of my
most artistic friend, I hired Ochs Design to combine and renovate
my one bedroom pre-war with the adjacent studio I had just purchased
to accommodate my second child. It was a particularly difficult
renovation due to the fact that each apartment contained a sunken
floor in the main living area that limited the flexibility in re-working
the space. Ochs Design presented several inventive floor
plan options.
I am the type of person who knows what I like but
am unsure whether things ‘go together’. This uncertainty
has always paralyzed me when it came to investing in renovations
and big ticket purchases like furniture, rugs, etc. My favorite
thing about working with Paul was that he enabled me to let my
own creativity fly, while he provided the expert curator's eye,
editing, guiding, and directing my choices. Ochs Design introduced
me to materials and ideas that would not have occurred to me on
my own.
As a single mom with two small children and a collection
of mismatched furniture, I was eager to create a happy home that
fit my family's needs and expressed my personal style. We
furnished the newly renovated apartment from scratch. With
the resources and relationships Paul has cultivated, we had opportunities
to create custom designed fabrics, furniture, and we even designed
my own rug at affordable prices! When done, the entire place had
a very high-end quality throughout, felt clean and solidly constructed,
was kid friendly and uniquely my own. Ochs Design was dedicated
to seeing the project through to the end, following through on
the seemingly endless details.
I was very pleasantly surprised when I set out
to sell the apartment in a cooled down market. It showed
beautifully and prospective buyers noted and commented on the high
quality materials throughout and the comfortable layout. A few
even inquired about buying the apartment furnished as everything
worked so perfectly in the space. Working with Ochs Design proved
to be a solid investment.
From what I have seen and personally experienced,
Ochs Design creates unique, premium quality, artfully done homes. I
am recently remarried and am currently working on my new home with
Paul.
Sincerely,
