We had the great pleasure of working with Darrin Hollyman on the design of our dream home in Central Oregon. Darrin is a true artist in his craft of designing both interior and exterior elements that created a home that far exceeded our initial vision. His years of experience and deep understanding of design and craftsmanship were evident in his spectacular design. He created not just a house, but a home that has exceptional functionality, use of space, creative features, and a connection to the land and views it offers. He listened and incorporated our ideas and wish list, and offered so many great ideas and recommendations of his own that made this our true dream home. We appreciate his attention to detail, his work with our builder and team, and bringing so much expertise to the project. We felt very comfortable having Hollyman Design represent us during the design process. From start to finish, working with Darrin was a truly enjoyable, fun, and positive experience. We are grateful we chose Hollyman Design. We recommended them with highest regard to anyone looking for quality above and beyond the norm in home design.

From our first introduction to Darrin, we knew he was our guy. He took the time to get to know us and our lifestyle with regard to the design of our home. He collaborated well with our contractor and interior designer which has been a win for us. Darrin has made himself available to us throughout the building process and visits our build regularly, his continued presence has been greatly appreciated. We can’t wait for the finished product but it already feels like home thanks to Darrin.

We own a home in central Oregon which was in need of a remodel. The challenge was to transform it from a vacation home into a permanent residence. After reading about hollyman design in Western Home Journal, reviewing his website, and an interview we knew we had our Building Designer. As a retired interior designer I value a professional who is a great communicator, asks questions to arrive at a design concept which will meet their clients needs and expectations, and recognizes how it should function at its best, with lots of style. We also had a tight deadline where we needed a preliminary plan drawn up to present to an ARC Committee for approval within a month. Darrin exceeded our expectations in all these areas, along with designing a beautiful 1500 square foot addition! Thank you Darrin, and we highly recommend Hollyman Design!

When we decided to downsize from a 4800 sq foot high-maintenance home in Redmond, OR we chose Hollyman Design to design our new home. We had a long list of “must haves” for our new home at Brasada Ranch and Darrin Hollyman designed a home for us that fulfilled that list to a tee. Some of the things that we asked for included a split plan home with open concept living, dining, and kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a flip-up window for entertaining access to the back terrace. We also wanted large access doors to the terrace that tuck into the wall for enjoying the indoor/outdoor living that Central Oregon affords. A large craft room/office for me and an office/TV room for my husband were essential, as were a large master suite with an over-sized walk in closet and a zero entrance open shower. One guest bedroom with bath and a bunk room for the grandkids were all we needed to complete our wish list. We got everything and more in a beautifully designed 2700 sq foot low maintenance smart home. I would highly recommend Darrin Hollyman to design your next home.

“We had an excellent experience working with Darrin who designed the perfect home for us. He incorporated all of our design ideas into an amazing, family-friendly home with plenty of space for guest and relatives. Though we had many iterations and changes during the design process, Darrin was always helpful, responsive and thorough with each revision. Thanks Darrin, for helping us create our dream home!”
