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.

I saw a passive house he was gut renovating in Park Slope, and it was absolutely stunning! Jim knows how to preserve historic details while bringing the design into the modern era in a tasteful, classic way. He exudes calmness and wisdom and is a pleasure to be around. Full disclosure in that I ultimately had to choose a less experienced architect because Jim's fee, although completely reasonable given his level of skill and expertise, was a bit out of our price range.

Jim is very detailed and each week during renovation, we had him manage the project with the contractor to ensure the final output was done properly. Most Manhattan apartments are not symmetrical, so the early stage on doing things a certain way goes a long way on the final look. He understands plumbing, and electrical well to communicate to our contractors. He referred us to a HVAC engineer. When it came to interior design, we had Sarah who provided feedback and suppliers information. She was also very helpful. Jim knows the DOB process well and helped us resolved many issues even during covid and DOB rule changed in 2020 and 2021. We also had him manage the project with the contractors. The contractors don't have the same design eyes and were a bit sloppy and forgetful so it was imperative to have Jim help us. Urban charges by the hour and provided an accurate estimate of the cost. Make sure what projects he's working on so he can allocate time properly. In the beginning with the design drawing schematic, it took a while cause he was on a couple of brownstone projects but overall still have a very positive experience with Jim. He was responsive.

Marissa assured our place would be different from everyone else's by reflecting my eclectic style of mid-century modern, contemporary, industrial and LA glam.

Instead of getting furniture and accessories in a little at a time, everything was set up on one day for a fun and exciting grand reveal.

The Design MACS team were so accommodating and flexible as our project grew. It was a great experience. Laura
