What people are saying…
“Jonathan/Oasis vision for our home has entirely changed how our family lives so much so I fear ever having to sell this house. The project changed the entire back half of our residence which resides within a historic neighborhood merging the outside with the inside environment. The dramatic transformation of the space is something we never envisioned. We found working with Jonathan to be relatively effortless ... we were consistently on time at the right level of detail. The contractors we interviewed all commented on the detailed nature of our drawings. We easily passed the intense scrutiny of the local Historic Preservation Committee in our first meeting; they also commented on the vision and excellent balance of historic and new. Will absolutely work with Oasis again and highly recommend.”

“A joyful experience! Collaborating with Oasis Architecture rendered nothing less than a beautiful and functional space. A thoughtful eye for detail, Jonathan incorporated all of the unique and modern elements I envisioned for the project. Rather than a tedious pursuit, under Jonathan's guidance, the lengthy renovation became a spiritual journey as the space began to take its rightful shape and form. His exceptional talent speaks to you through his work. I highly recommend such a creative force.”

“We love Jonathan and Oasis. He just completed a major renovation of the back end of our 110 year old house, including a new open plan great room with powder room. It is magnificent. In terms of the process, when we met Jonathan he told us he would show us drawings of the "showstopper" option for our renovation, and we could work back from there. We opted for the showstopper: a full demolition of our existing kitchen and deck, an extended foundation, and then a great room with a raised octagonal cupola over our kitchen table with an entire back wall of windows. Jonathan provided a thorough list of contractors he trusts. We chose Solid Construction (Neil Sargentelli), and he also gets a 5 star rating. Before meeting Jonathan we had drawings made by two other architects, and neither were able to offer us any real enthusiasm or vision. Each time when it came time to hire a contractor we backed up, fearing we would do more damage than good and regret the process. When we met Jonathan he seemed genuinely excited about our house. He noticed every detail from the trees outside to the moldings around the closet doors. The process was long, but he was on board throughout, and nothing went over time or over budget. We recommend Oasis (and Solid Construction) with enthusiasm.”

“Jonathan at Oasis Architecture designed our new beach house after Hurricane Sandy destroyed our original. He did an amazing job capturing our aesthetic and designing a home that fits perfectly in the beach landscape of our town. We couldn't be happier with the house -- it is absolutely lovely and we owe it all to Jonathan.”

“Our research drew us to Jonathan at Oasis Architecture with his impressive track record enhancing similar style, older Victorian houses and we certainly feel we made the right choice. Jonathan ultimately came up with a design that has completely transformed our living environment (and truly enhanced our entertainment options). His architectural empathy and attention to symmetry have preserved an ideal balance that compliments the original structure while also adding a ‘wow’ factor that the rear of the house was previously lacking. The extended mud room and new TV/living room interact seamlessly with the rest of the living space and provide sweeping open lines that magnify the interior features. To the exterior, we’re looking forward to trailing plantings across our circular trellis that now sits imposingly over the outsized living room bay windows. And we can’t wait to get out and enjoy our beautiful elliptical covered patio, the perfect outdoor entertainment space with its intricate decorative details and outstanding craftsmanship. We’ve had a huge amount of compliments on the finished work, inspired by Jonathan’s creative vision, and we’re very, very satisfied with the results!”
