Recommendation Letter for Leigh Overland Architect
November 22, 2019

Daily Bread Food Pantry couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Leigh Overland for the renovation of our food pantry which provides food free-of-charge to thousands of needy families in the Greater Danbury Area.  

We presented Leigh with a unique problem – redesigning our small space to easily accommodate our growing base of clients. Our facility, designed in 1984 for a far simpler and much smaller operation, needed a complete rework. Our primary goals included lessening congestion and improving space flow to allow shoppers and volunteers to move easily through the pantry, increasing storage space with many more shelves and refrigeration units and generally enhancing the feel of our cramped, dark, aging facility. We were determined to make their shopping experience a positive one for our struggling clients. Leigh did all of this and more. Our space is light and bright, can easily accommodate many more clients and a great deal more food, has the desired simple yet high-quality, attractive finishes, and is respectful of our shoppers. We are thrilled with the result.  

Leigh and his team are highly skilled, creative and able to easily and professionally handle the complexities of working with contractors and securing government approvals - particularly complex in our case given that our project was federally funded. They advocated for our organization every step of the way. It is an understatement to say that we were in good hands.

Just as importantly, it has been an absolute pleasure working with Leigh and his team. They were always remarkably gracious and kind, responsive, detail-oriented and communicative. His office formally documented all discussions and recommendations and immediately passed these along for our review. They also happily incorporated our ideas and changes and welcomed questions and comments throughout. Leigh was personally invested in our project and clearly cared a great deal about the final product and the impact on our thousands of clients in need.

For all these reasons and more, I heartily recommend Leigh Overland Architects and look forward to discussing our experience with prospective clients.

Respectfully,

Debbie Landzberg

Board President

"Leigh Overland can turn hopes and dreams into reality. He not only has a great Aesthetic Eye Leigh listens to the client and Hears what they are saying. Always keeping on top of cutting edge building technology is another plus. Leigh can design a structure that is energy efficient and structurally sound enough to withstand anything nature can throw at it, even the likes of hurricanes Irene and Sandy. All for a cost comparable to conventional building methods"

"One of my primary functions as a restaurant consultant is to open new restaurants. One of the key components of any great restaurants is in the design. I have worked closely with Leigh on several projects and everyone of my clients has expressed their love of Leigh's work. His plans are detailed making it easier for both contractor and government departments to read. Leigh really takes the time to really listen to what the client wants then setting out to design their dream space."

 - Mark Moeller, Facebook Review


"I've known and dealt with many architects in my day, but by far Leigh has come up with some of the most creative and ingenious ideas that I have ever seen. Having spoken with people who have dealt with him before I was only expecting outstanding things, but he is gone above and beyond those expectations. Thanks so much."

 - Rich Pinsky, Facebook Review


"The art of design, the expression of form, and the fulfillment of function are the hallmarks of Leigh Overland's designs. As a lay person, i see it simply as "good design" or "smart design", but I know builders and owners that work with him see it as so much more. If you want to be truly excited by the possibilities of your home (or commercial space, too) give Leigh a call."
