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.
Our experience with Jeanne has been nothing but wonderful. We came to her with a pretty complex project (complete home remodel and extensive addition) with a long list of “must haves” and she somehow made it all happen - plus some! We are just getting our permit issued now and cannot wait to see her design come to life.

Jeanne is fantastic! I highly recommend her for any architectural or design project. Jeanne is patient. She listens, and best of all, she has great ideas. My wife and I had put off our remodel for many years, because we could not agree on what to do. Jeanne, with her many wonderful ideas and design options, helped us find solutions and helped us navigate through the many decisions that were holding us back. My wife and I could not be happier with how our remodel turned out thanks to Jeanne, and we would not hesitate to use her services for any future projects.

Jeanne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She guided us through the design of our extensive home renovation, which included adding a bedroom, expanding the kitchen and master bedroom, and relocating the garage. Her vision and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Now that the project is complete, I’ve received countless compliments on how seamless everything looks. The additions blend in so naturally—it truly feels like they’ve always been part of the original home. Jeanne’s expertise and thoughtful design made all the difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Jeanne came up with a plan that was both creative and clearly well thought through that blended the existing home and addition seamlessly.
