What is a CotY Award? A NARI CotY award, National Association of the Remodeling Industry of Central Ohio (NARI-CO) CotY (Contractor of the Year) is presented to members that have demonstrated outstanding design and craftsmanship through their remodeling designs and projects. We were proud to win four different awards this year. Three of these awards were a joint effort between RDS (design) and Dave Osmond Builders.

Our partnership with Dave Osmond and his team is always exciting and fulfilling. We value this partnership and look forward to many more years of “award-winning” designs.

This year our collaboration resulted in these awards for Dave Osmond Builders and RDS:

Residential Bath $70,000 to $100,000 (regional) | Worthington, Ohio

Our clients were ready for a serious renovation of their primary bath. Typical for homes of this era, their bath had a huge platform tub and a basic shower. The only feature of the bath they wanted to maintain was a large skylight. Their wish list included a spa shower, vessel tub, new vanity space and shoe closet. Space was tight, so we created a wet room for the shower and the vessel tub under the 4x4 skylight.

Tub located in the shower; a wet room concept.
Installed heated tile floors with smart thermostat.
Integrated custom-built closets with added accent lighting.

Residential Bath $100,000 to $150,000 (local) | Powell, Ohio

This tired thirty-year-old primary bath needed to be refreshed, from the tiny glass shower to the large, unused platform tub. An unusual bath, it had four transom windows high on the outside wall, but they were not quite centered on the wall over the vanities. Our clients, however, were focused on transforming their dated bath into a luxurious home spa. The key enhancements included:

Replacing the platform tub and small shower with a large, sleek shower.
Installing heated floors with a smart thermostat.
Placing new vanities strategically beneath the existing windows to allow for correct alignment.
Showcasing stunning design through impressive herringbone tile work.
Introducing a convenient coffee bar.
Incorporating smart features such as motion-activated night light, toilet, and the thermostat for the floors.

Residential Exterior $50,000 to $100,000 (local and regional) | Worthington, Ohio

We designed and Dave Osmond Builders built a wonderful new home for our clients on a spectacular piece of property in Worthington, OH. At that time, we discussed options for a covered or screened porch, but they felt a deck would be more than adequate to meet their needs. After living in their home for several years, they decided they would like to be able to relax, entertain and enjoy their outdoor living space regardless of the bugs or weather. Their request started small, just a roof over the existing deck, but evolved into an expanded, covered porch with operable screens.

Expanded the square footage of the existing deck.
Introduced a vaulted cedar porch roof.
Introduced rain chains in lieu of traditional downspouts.
Installed operable screening for bug-free enjoyment.

Residential Detached Structure (local and regional) | Delaware, Ohio

Over two decades ago, we designed the Country French home on this property for our clients. We were honored to be invited back to design this addition to the property. The structure needed to have screens to keep the bugs where they belong, some form of heat to extend use of the space in the cooler months, and electrical connectivity for fans, smart speakers, etc. During the design and construction process, this structure was referred to as the gazebo, grotto and pavilion, but the name that stuck was “the room out back.”

Created a design for both entertainment and relaxation.
Equipped the gazebo with operable screens and heating elements to extend outdoor enjoyment.
Seamlessly designed the space to ensure it integrated with the existing home.

And this one was a design we completed for our clients in Upper Arlington!

Residential Architectural Design Over 500 sq ft (local and regional) | Upper Arlington, Ohio

Originally a modest ranch home built in 1938, this home underwent many transformations over the years. The result was a sprawling home with lack of cohesiveness and a less than ideal floor plan. Our objective was to take the home back to a few core elements and reconstruct a modern home so the family could enjoy the beautiful lot in a highly desirable location.

The left wing was reconfigured to create a beautiful owners’ suite.
A brand-new entry and living area were created featuring lofty 13’ ceilings and an impressive staircase to the new second floor.
A second floor was added to include space for three suites, two of which included balconies overlooking the rear yard.

We take immense pride in the achievements of the RDS team over this past year. Delivering exceptional services to all our clients is always our top priority. We thank you for the trust and the opportunity to work to transform your home.
