    Dinesh & SODA have been absolutely incredible to work with. He is so unbelievably talented, efficient, collaborative & patient - especially when we were making some of our biggest design decisions that took time & feedback. His care for your design - no matter the scale - is genuine & honest. We already have & will be continuing to recommend him to others!

  • Saving Projects. Setting Standards - Suite Six

    It was a great pleasure working with Dinesh and his team. His attention to detail and knowledge of design and building code saved us on a number of jobs. Highly recommended.

    - Nick Natale

  • Raising the Bar for Ottawa Rentals - Glebe Rental Suite

    Sharma Office of Design + Architecture, under Dinesh's guidance, nailed it! They helped us with a new rental home design, and wow, what a fantastic experience. Dinesh was super transparent and open-minded, giving us great insights we hadn't even thought about. The end result? Absolutely amazing! They're a top-notch team, and I highly recommend them for any architectural needs.

    - Nik Paprocki

  • New Brunswick. Built Better - Atlantic Cottage

    It was a pleasure working with the team at SODA. I’m thrilled with my cottage design! Dinesh worked with me personally to ensure all my design needs were being met- including my “must haves” and many features from my “wish list”. I wouldn’t hesitant to work with Dinesh again. Thank you!

    - Kirsten Del Bel

  • Escape, Elevated - Project Forrest

    We met with Dinesh to discuss our vision for a cottage design that would blend in with nature, fit our lot, and check all the items on our must-have list. He was very enthusiastic, detail oriented, and walked us through the process from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the designs and layout he provided. I can't recommend Dinesh and the SODA team enough for quality work, friendly interactions, and professionalism. Hire them!
