ABOUT

Founded by Mark Udvari-Solner, USDC has built a reputation for excellence in residential design across the Midwest and beyond, driven by a deep respect for historical architecture and a passion for craftsmanship.

At USDC, we believe in fostering genuine relationships with our clients, engaging in meaningful conversations from the start to ensure your vision leads the design process. Each project begins at the drafting table, where Mark’s dedication to the art of hand drawing allows for an authentic exploration of ideas. As the design evolves, our team transforms these sketches into detailed, realistic renderings and construction documents that bring the project to life.

With over 35 years of experience, our mission is to create spaces that are both functional and inspiring. Our work seamlessly merges the historic with the unexpected, crafting homes that authentically reflect our clients' lives.

  • "Building a house can be a harrowing process, but Mark made it a wonderful experience. "

  • “We wanted our home to fit the environment and our lifestyle, and be unlike any other home. This was achieved in spades due to your homeowner centric process and design ingenuity. I am confident the final product would not have been as successful in achieving our goals with any other designer”

  • “He very patiently met with us several times to discuss subsequent drafts that not only got more and more creative and beautiful, but also found better ways to give us everything we wanted, while reducing the overall cost of the home to fit within our budget.”

  • “They perfectly helped us create our dreamhouse. We cannot recommend them enough. They are truly innovative and insightful, as well as just wonderful to work with!”

  • “Mark was involved on a very personal level. He listened and understood who we were, and are as a family, and what we dreamed of in our future and for our forever home, and then surprised us by making it even better. Every step of the way he was our advocate and trusted advisor. When interviewing builders he asked the questions we didn’t know we needed to ask. He spared us expenses by making thoughtful alternative suggestions to keep us on budget. And we always knew he has our best interests leading his decisions, because that’s who he is, and that’s who his team is.”
