Melancon Ortega Designs

We have worked with Patrick and Monica on several projects and have been impressed with their work and professionalism every step of the way.

We have worked with Monica and Patrick Melancon over the past eight years. They are a talented, professional brother/sister team. Monica has helped us with interior design projects and each project has far exceeded our expectations. She has never missed a deadline and is an excellent listener with her clients. Her taste level is extraordinary. Patrick designed and drew the plans for our pool house which was an addition to our original home which was built in 1896. It looks original to the house but has a modern feel inside. We used Melancon Ortega Designs for the interior design as well as project managers to oversee construction. The quality of their sub contractors is second to none and we even came in under budget! In the past 10 years they have become one of New Orleans leading design, architecture and project management companies . We highly recommend them for the smallest or largest project you may have. You will not be disappointed.

We interviewed several architects and contractors to help us with an old New Orleans house that we planned to renovate and make into our dream home. From our very first meeting, Patrick was extraordinary. He has huge ideas (a light well at the top of our three story staircase- cost-prohibitive, but wow!), some we used and some we didn't, but it never offended him if we went in a different direction, and he was completely supportive of what we envisioned for our house. I love his ability to create a space with subtle detail, symmetry and proportion. His style is respectful of the classical and yet very comfortable with the cleaner more modern uses of interior and exterior space. He is a joy to work with, and he is so completely humble about his talent. I highly recommend Patrick and MOD. And if you get a chance to work with Monica, the design side of MOD, do yourself that favor, as well.

Highly recommend this dynamic duo! Professional, very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. We were first exposed to MOD Design's work while visiting a home they worked in. We were impressed with the architectural detail and classic interior design but what sold us was the consistency of their beautiful work. The flexible levels of services they offer allows for a range of budgets and the ability to work with them on various project sizes. Patrick's architectural designs are seemless. Our renovation looks as though it has always been a part of our home. His attention to detail is amazing and his gift is truly STAIRWELL DESIGN. Pay attention to any photos of the staircases he has designed! Simply amazing. If you are on the fence about hiring a Project Manager, I highly recommend it!! Patrick's services proved to be both COST effective, TIME and HEADACHE SAVING! There were many challenges that required technical knowledge and it would have been more expensive to hire for every challenge that arose or fix what wasn't expected in design. He is committed to championing his client's needs and will guide you with smart solutions. We hired Monica prior to our renovation for smaller projects and we're so pleased that we kept her involved with the renovation. Again, all the homes where she lent her talent, were consistent of clean lines and understated elegance. Monica's gift is her ability to express her client's individual personality while still adding her own personal touch. I appreciate that she does not oversell and that she provides beautiful options that work within her client's budget. Together, Patrick and Monica are a great team as they have the ability to finish the thought the other may have in mind for you!

They are FABULOUS! I engaged MOD a few years ago to do a large kitchen addition on my Uptown home. From start to finish, Monica and Patrick were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. Everyone who walks into my kitchen says, "Wow, this is amazing." I plan to engage them again in the near future for bathroom and master bedroom renovations.

This group is able to put clients thought/ideas into an actual living environment. Very easy to work with and very approachable. Would work with again and again

We have worked with Patrick Melancon at Melancon Ortega Designs on a number of jobs. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He is well organized, professional and a pleasure to work with. On this particular project we provided the custom window treatments, drapery, shades, motorized and manual hardware for this residence. Katie Koch Home
