open mode

Each day, I woke up feeling loved and safe in the house Sarah designed for us at Atwater Village in Glendale. I have had so many compliments from family, friends, guests and neighbors passed by the house. Sarah's services is with trust and timely without a doubt. You can rely on Sarah's expertise as she will be holding your hands throughout the projects. Ann Daniels Glendale, CA

We hired Sarah and Open Mode to help us renovate our house to almost double our square footage. Sarah took our vision and designed a new floor plan that perfectly fits the needs of our growing family. In our expansion, she incorporated the original house seamlessly and also created a new exterior that is modern, updated, and a house that we love. She has excellent style, taste, and attention to detail. She went above and beyond to make herself available during all phases of the project. She is fair and honest and her billing practice was clear. She is a delight to work with and made the process easy and enjoyable! We highly recommend Open Mode and would hire Sarah again in a second!

I cannot recommend Sarah and Open Mode enough. Quite simply, Sarah went the extra mile with every little detail of our project. She has great taste, a great eye, and the ability to truly collaborate. She's able to design with budget in mind, and every choice is well thought out and considered. Her mastery of 3d renderings allowed us to see ideas quickly and with no drama (or extra costs). And she handled all aspects of the project, including interfacing with us, contractors, permit offices, and so on. There was never any drama or unexpected costs. We grew to love Sarah as a designer and a person, and so did our kids! Having her around and involved in our home redesign was such a pleasure, I can't state it enough. She has a passion for her work and dedication to her clients, and we really felt looked after in every way.

Open Mode helped us with a full home redesign, with our kitchen being the initial core of the project. We loved their work so much that it expanded throughout the house. They are great to work with and excellent at what they do. We're looking forward to working with them again on future projects.

Working with Sarah LeClerc of Open Mode made our home remodeling dreams come true. We loved her style from the beginning, but it was how she was able to help us realize the look we had been kicking around in our heads for so long that really impressed me. Sarah helped us with two complex projects -- a major bathroom renovation and a structurally-critical beam replacement in our open concept living/dining/kitchen. The bathroom designs she created for us were so beautiful it was hard to choose! She also worked with us to adapt the plans and find the right balance of "needs" vs. "wants" that helped meet our budget with our contractor. The beam replacement project may sound simple -- but it was Sarah's insights that helped us turn a structural issue into a chance to make our open, airy space even more beautiful. She worked closely with us and our contractors throughout the process, was always available for questions and helped expedite all of the areas of the projects. I would recommend her highly to anyone, and I plan to hire her again as soon as possible!

Sarah helped us remodel a kitchen and reconfigure just about everything. Her design skills and ability to navigate space is amazing. Her contacts are great, and she is so fun and easy to work with- a true pleasure!

We hired Open Mode and worked with Sarah Le Clerc, who was amazing. She helped us remodel our house which included new layout, new window plan and roof. Sarah was super professional and contributed a ton of value by working out the new layout of the house, specifically the kitchen and bathroom, drawing detailed plans so we could visualize the concept and also submitting everything to get permits turned around quickly. I also asked Sarah a million design and finishing questions and her opinion helped us so much to make the right decisions. Project costs were very fair and she was transparent with her estimate. If I ever need an architect again, I would only want to work with Sarah.
