"We find Dan very easy to work with!"

We have now used Dan O’Connor of OCO Architecture twice for our home design. The first time around we met on site for about half an hour and talked about our ideas and the effects we wanted to achieve. What was truly amazing was that Dan was able to come back to us within a couple of days with a concept drawing that was so perfect that it was actually quite unbelievable. We loved the end result too and were so impressed with the experience that we wanted Dan to be involved again when we decided to build for a second time. Again his design was spot-on. Dan possesses an uncanny knack for interpreting one’s ideas and then putting them to paper in a very beautiful and practical way. He is always willing to go the extra mile and to help out with advice and support along the way. We find Dan very easy to work with. His designs are stunning and they work. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dan to anyone wanting to achieve that special, personalised home and having a great time getting there.
