Residential Designer – Bend, OR | Dos Designers

Custom Homes, Remodels, Additions & ADUs

Thoughtful Design. Built on Experience.

At DOS Designers – Designers Of Spaces, we believe great residential design should be as practical as it is inspiring. Based in Bend, Oregon, we specialize in custom homes, residential remodels, home additions, and accessory dwelling units throughout Central Oregon.

Our approach brings creative architectural design together with hands-on construction knowledge. We consider not only how a space looks and feels, but how it functions, how it’s built, and how each design decision affects the finished project.

From initial concepts and site planning to detailed construction drawings and permitting coordination, we help homeowners navigate the design process with clarity and confidence.

Let’s create spaces that work beautifully for the way you live.

Kadi Driver | Co-Owner | Designer

Kadi brings a thoughtful, client-centered approach to architectural design, balancing creative vision with the technical details that shape a successful project. With experience in both commercial and residential design, she works across custom homes, remodels, and additions, with particular attention to natural light, strategic window placement, and the relationship between a home, its site, and the people who live in it.

Kadi combines design sensibility with a strong command of building codes, zoning regulations, and the permitting process. She has particular expertise in historic preservation and navigating jurisdictional requirements, working closely with planning departments, building officials, and historic review bodies to develop thoughtful solutions and move projects efficiently through the approval process.

From designing custom homes to reimagining existing spaces, Kadi approaches each project with an eye toward its potential, balancing architectural vision with site conditions, regulatory requirements, and the practical steps needed to bring a design to life.

Seth Ehlinger | Co-Owner | Designer

Seth graduated from the University of Oregon’s Architecture and Design program in 2002 and has worked in residential design and construction ever since. He is passionate about purposeful design and excels at translating client ideas into buildable, well-resolved solutions that balance creativity, structure, budget, and constructability.

In 2008, Seth founded his own design-build company, gaining hands-on experience across all phases of residential construction, from framing and finish carpentry to general contracting and project coordination. This practical experience gives him a strong understanding of how homes come together and informs his approach to creating designs that are both thoughtful and achievable.

Today, Seth focuses exclusively on architectural design, specializing in custom homes and complex remodels. He enjoys solving complex design challenges, incorporating considered details and unexpected design moments, and drawing on his construction knowledge and local industry relationships to develop cohesive, well-executed projects.

Testimonials

“Working with Seth and Kadi has been great, they have both helped me reconfigure and restore a historical home in downtown Bend which can be tricky and requires a lot of details.”

-Justin Brevoort

“For a great experience in building a new home or in remodeling a small, old “Mill Shack” (like we are) contact DOS Designers. Kadi & Seth have been amazing to work with. We are close to getting our permit because of their diligent work on our project plan. They communicate well in explaining the process and presenting visuals along the way.”

-Shelly Field

“Kadi has a way of figuring out what you want even when you’re not sure yourself. She asks questions, she listens, and she’s committed to achieving your end goal. I’ve hired Kadi for multiple projects now, and she consistently finds possibilities from angles I couldn’t have — often taking what seems overwhelmingly complex and making it surprisingly simple. Her willingness to dig in and take on new or challenging requirements, and to think creatively around them, has earned my confidence. I recommend Kadi to every independent-minded, forward-thinking creator in Bend.”

-J

“We recently worked with Seth and Kadi on a complete ground up remodel. They were extremely helpful with turning our ideas into workable plans. They worked hand in hand with our engineer to ensure all aspects of our vision were able to be achieved and meet modern code requirements. In addition to the design process they were able to help us navigate through the permitting process which was a huge help. Would definitely recommend.”

-Ken Richardson

“Kadi and Seth worked with me and my small business for over a year now consulting and designing on numerous different projects. Building from ground up to remodeling. Kadi has expert experience with working with City Historical committee, no doubt an asset to any companies team.”

-Frankie

“Seth and Kadi were great to work with. They promptly returned phone calls and were able to work with the city of Bend to expedite permits, so we didn’t have to. I would definitely recommend DOS to anyone wanting to build a home in Central Oregon or Beyond.”

-DJ Pierce
