We had a serious situation with the city in which we needed a report generated quickly in order for us to return to our site. Ogle Design really stepped up and was able to meet the tight deadline. Very detailed oriented, asked many questions to get a full scope of our operation, and handled the matter with the city in a professional, timely manner.

Being a tradesman, I found working along side Ogle designs to be a breath of fresh air. Vary professional, and an “out of the box” approach to projects.

Yaya and Will were so great to work with! They respond quickly and their attention to detail is admirable. I would highly recommend working with them based on their quality of service and just overall how kind and patient they are!

William’s team designed a small addition and a completely new floorplan for my single family residence, and they were flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. While we could not do a design-build as originally hoped, they were very helpful in finding a suitable contractor, and then supporting the project at a level I was comfortable with during construction. I am happy with the result and I would absolutely recommend them.

William was our architect in remodeling a 100 year old San Francisco home located in a historic neighborhood. He did a great job and we could not be more pleased with the finished product.
William took a 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath house and turned it into a home with 3-4 good size, bedrooms 3 baths, large dining and living rooms, a media room, a ER bar, an office, and a totally remodeled staircase connecting the two floors. He also added substantial storage space to our home.
William listens well, offers suggestions, and turns out a great work product.
