I went through two other architects before I found Jeanne. One was from very well-regarded architectural firm that would take care of the entire process including construction management, with a large team of junior architects. Their quote for the build was high, and of course their fee was based on the construction cost. The second one had a wonderful social media presence, but seemed to push me towards the ubiquitous white 2-storey modern farmhouse built by a "custom homebuilder". I struggled with the choices.. we had bought this property because we liked the way it was, but it needed some TLC, and we needed to add an ADU. Jeanne came as a breath of fresh air. She has that rare quality of...

My family and I are currently working with Jeannie on a secondary project, 10 years after the first time we worked together, as she was the architect on my parents' major Windansea remodel years ago. Now that it is time for my husband and I to build our home, we knew without a doubt Jeannie would be the architect for our project. Jeannie is a true professional. Not only is she extremely detail-oriented, but she does a great job listening in detail to all of the nuances we are interested in incorporating into our home, then suggests thoughtful ways we can achieve our desired results. I really appreciate Jeannie's ability to flex to the clients' tastes as well. My parents home leans more tr...

We could not be more pleased with the exceptional work our architect provided throughout the design process for our daughter’s new home. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, efficiency, and organization that made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless and enjoyable. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach to every aspect of the design and layout truly set her apart. She carefully listened to our ideas, understood our vision, and transformed it into a beautifully functional plan that perfectly balances style, comfort, and practicality. Every space was designed with purpose, flow, and long-term livability in mind. ...

Jeanne is very efficient, excellent at communication, organized and helpful in the design phase. We are converting a open bonus room to a living/bedroom with a full bathroom and wanted to maximize the space plus have flexibility for the future. Jeanne helped us do that and the process to get a permit approval was very smooth, pricing was transparent, and she's available if you need any answers. She also works well with our builder. Definitely reach out to Jeanne for your projects.

Jeanne Liem is a highly professional and creative architect with broad and detailed knowledge of the multiple dimensions of her work. She ably navigated the design of a stand-alone ADU in a tight space. She equally efficiently navigated interactions with the City, engineer, and other entities and experts. The experts she recommended were also professional and efficient. She was proactive and advised me on various related issues that I needed to follow up on with other entities (e.g. about electrical planning with SDG&E, etc.). Jeanne listened to and incorporated my needs, preferences and design ideas from start to the finish. I am in awe of Jeanne's patience with me. When our first design wa...
