Testimonials 

Chris was great to work with in every aspect of this project.


Chris was great to work with in every aspect of this project, which had quite the challenges. From space management (420 sq ft house), working within a budget relative to property size, having to work with several agencies (Cincinnati Zoning Dept., Hillside district and the Cincinnati Historical Society) for the project to move forward. Awesome work, Chris!!

Chris was great in listening to our needs and talking through options, which included ideas we never initially considered. I would highly recommend Chris Kepes.


My husband and I very much enjoyed working with Chris Kepes. We remodeled our first floor, essentially turning 3 rooms into 1 large room. This included relocating our kitchen to one end of the room. Prior to meeting Chris, we did not how to begin. We just knew we wanted to open up the space. Chris was great in listening to our needs and talking through options, which included ideas we never initially considered. One of the best things about having a skilled architect create your plan is you know they are looking at lines and how things balance and flow. Knowing he had those things covered gave us great peace of mind. He created beautiful drawings that really brought our vision alive. He then led us to a contractor whom he had previously worked with and that turned out to be a good experience as well. We absolutely love our new space! I would highly recommend Chris Kepes.

Chris worked to bring costs into budget, and made the necessary adjustments to meet our financial limits, while not sacrificing the integrity of the design.


We hired Chris, at Kepes Architecture, for a major 1st floor/kitchen/foyer remodel and master bath renovation. Chris incorporated our many ideas and suggestions into a beautiful plan, that would certainly bring a return on our investment. He’s a true professional, and an innovative, creative person, who could see our vision, and mission, to bring new life to our home of 24 years. Chris worked to bring costs into budget, and made the necessary adjustments to meet our financial limits, while not sacrificing the integrity of the design. We would highly recommend Chris, for architecture and design projects.

I look forward to working with Chris in the future and would highly recommend his service to others!


I had the pleasure of working with Chris recently on a home renovation project.

Chris was great to work with and did a beautiful job.


Chris Kepes of Kepes Architecture drew plans for a front porch addition to my house. The plans were beautiful and took the existing architecture into consideration. Chris also was able to help me work with my builder when what was built did not follow the architecture plans and construction drawings. He had a nice manner and way of making a point to the builder without making it unnecessarily uncomfortable. Chris was great to work with and did a beautiful job.

I would not hesitate to refer him for any project.


Chris Kepes is the most talented Architect I have had the pleasure of working with! He has the ability to listen and connect with clients so that when he does to the drawing board, he exceeds many expectations. His creative designs and style of drafting makes it so easy for even “non-visual” people to see the end product . I would not hesitate to refer him for any project. Whether it is a new home, kitchen with architectural elements, addition, or outdoor space, Chris will not disappoint!

Chris is a good listener, trustworthy, and exceptional designer.


By hiring Chris Kepes for a multi-year historic renovation project, we set the stage for a successful and enjoyable experience. We learned how important the role of a highly skilled and professional architect’s involvement means. Chris was instrumental in directing us to the right contractor and landscape architect for us as well as may of the other craftsmen and service providers required for our project. Chris is a good listener, trustworthy, and exceptional designer. After undertaking a 3 year project, we hired Chris again and the same team to undertake another 1 year project and our experience was consistent and pleasant. We have recommended using Chris to several of our friends and they have all had good experiences.
