As a philosophy, we believe in human-centered design principles to guide the process of creating homes that please the eye and the inhabitants. We work closely and collaboratively with our clients to understand what their needs and desires are so that we may deliver a solution that excels in both form and function.
Jeanne Liem Architecture + Design is a small firm specializing in residential projects that offer aesthetic, healthy, and smart design solutions. The houses we design provide comfort and evoke pleasant experiences for people who utilize them. Client satisfaction is our ultimate goal.
We collaborate closely with you to understand your lifestyle and ensure that we build what you envision as your dream home: functional, comfortable, and pleasant; yet realistic and achievable within constraints.
Our full service includes exterior and interior design, renderings, permit & submittal services, details & specifications, and contractor selection. All of which can be tailored as you need them.
Although our construction has not yet started, our plans are finalized. Jeanne has been creative with ideas, prompt in turn around work, responsive with our questions within 1-2 days, cost conscious and flexible to modify plans based on our specific needs. She encouraged us to get sdge and city permit process started, and guided us with the steps to do so, and had her permit runner get the city permit within a month. She is honest and hard working. Even my dog and cat liked Jeanne!

We are happy to write a review on behalf of Jeanne Liem Architecture + Design. In June of 2023 we purchased a home in Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA.

We have renovated other homes and appreciate an architect who can both incorporate our ideas AND help us see other new ideas and solutions--Jeanne was all that and more. She was able to hear and see what works for our lifestyle and then incorporate into our house plans. She works carefully but quickly, so the design process is not overly dr...
