Leigh's work is top-notch and beautiful. He is in the forefront of ICF construction - any one considering a new building should look into it. This is the future of building - especially with the extreme weather we have.

If you are thinking of building a new home anywhere, but most notably near or on the coast of CT, or any state. Leigh will design a home for you that is truly Magnificent. Energy consumption is miserly, actually the most efficient construction techniques available. The interior environment is always fresh, clean, and exceptionally quiet, 24/7/365. No matter what the size, the home that you and Leigh will create, the structure will withstand the test of time, provide generations of low maintenance living and a return on investment that is beyond your expectations.

I've known Liegh Overland for a long time and have never met an architect who has an eye for detail like Liegh does. Liegh specializes in a new way of building that is gorgeous, more stable than traditional builds, more affordable to build with, and literally survives hurricanes when the rest of the neighborhood is demolished. Ask him to walk you through his beautiful show home in Fairfield!

Working with Leigh Overland has been wonderful! His experience and attention to detail has helped move my project from a dream to reality. He has helped me every step of the way from design to the bidding process to visits during construction and I can't wait to see the finished product! Photos and videos to come! Thank you Leigh!

I recently had the pleasure of working with an incredible architect who has truly exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Leigh Overland has been professional, attentive, and accommodating to both my wife and me. He took the time to listen to our needs and desires for our project, and provided invaluable advice based on our preferences and values.

One thing that really sets Leigh apart is his unparalleled experience in the ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) space. His knowledge and expertise in this area are evident in every aspect of our project. He has a keen understanding of the intricacies of working with ICF, and has been able to guide us through the design process with ease.

Working with a multidisciplinary team, Leigh has been a constant source of support and guidance. He has been there for us at every step of the way, from conceptualization to execution. His attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to quality have truly impressed us.

Not only does Leigh possess exceptional technical skills, but he is also a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about our vision for our project. His ability to communicate effectively and collaborate with us has made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free.

We couldn't recommend Leigh Overland more highly. His professionalism, experience, and dedication to his craft are evident in every aspect of our project. If you are looking for an architect who listens, advises, and delivers outstanding results, look no further. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him, and we are thrilled with the beautiful design he has created for us.

Finding Leigh was a blessing. My project is underway as I write this review and my experience so far is outstanding. Leigh is a true architect in that he seems to be incorporating not only fabulous structures but qualtiy relationships into his overall design. It's the seemless blending of these aspects that have me in awe as he is leaving ZERO on the table. The man does it all! Its like one big artistic movement and I am honored and very grateful to be a part of it. It's a rare thing to meet salt of the earth type folks but I guess this is just my luck 🙂

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
