From Vollertsen Architecture
Design Responsibly and Responsively Some architects think about the building first and the people who live in it second. I work to understand the people first then fit the building to their individual needs. Each client has their own aesthetic and my job help find the design that is right for you. I enjoy creating spaces that you live in and function for you. Be it modern or traditional I bring fresh eyes to your project. Grounded in 25 years of practical experience on projects of varying scales and styles I look at every project as a new chance at discovery and innovation. Through detailed 3D modeling you see what your project looks and feels like before it is built Every project has a budget and I pay close attention to yours.

So happy with the service and designs provided by Olaf! He was extremely professional and responsive through a difficult project. Can’t imagine getting through it without his expertise. I would highly recommend Olaf for any project!
We have known Olaf for the past 15 years and he has helped us renovate most of our house. He is very detail oriented, always has great ideas, listens carefully to what the client wants, and gives great design suggestions. He cares about the project as if he would be working on his own house. We are very happy with his work and we highly recommend him!
We have used Vollertsen Architecture twice in the last ten years. The first time was in late 2008. Olaf was hired as architect and construction manager for a major house addition and renovation that touched almost every room in the house, as well as adding a master bedroom, attached bathroom and mudroom/laundry room. We hired him again in 2015 as part of a refresh of the kitchen (which was not part of the 2008 work). The first time we used Vollertsen Architecture they were selected from a small list of recommended local architects. We chose Olaf because we not only got along with him, but we also liked his process. He incorporated us into design decisions and documented them so we understood why we did what we did when questions arouse in the construction phase. The typical second guessing was avoided - which was a big load off our shoulders. In interviewing some of the larger firms, it seemed they had their own internal design process, which really didn't involve the owner. We also used Olaf for construction management. This proved to be very helpful, keeping us out of the middle of contractor problems. It was money well spent. The second time we used Vollertsen Architecture was for a small kitchen and family room refresh. Utilizing existing and a limited amount of new cabinetry we were able to completely change the functionality of our kitchen. Because this was a smaller five figure project we were concerned we would not be able to find a qualified contractor. Thankfully Olaf was able to use his contacts to find someone amply qualified. I would never undertake a major house construction project without an architect. We made the mistake of doing that on our first home construction project. While the contractor may have had good intentions, a good architect brings so much more to the table. We would (will) hire Olaf again if and when we have another project. We also have recommended Vollertsen Architecture to friends and acquaintances without hesitation.
