I would highly recommend using Petrick Architecture. **★★★★★ — Wendy Fink, June 2017** > Jeanie did a fantastic job with our historically correct addition/remodeling project to our 1893 landmark house. We had no issues passing Evanston's Historical Review. We also received a 12 year historical preservation property tax freeze through the State of Illinois. Jeanie paid attention to detail; listened to us through out the project; and was very responsive to the GC and us. **★★★★★ — Peter O'Brien, June 2017** > We have worked with Petrick Architecture on both residential and commercial projects. They combine the best of design and functionality for efficient and innovative architectural solutions. **★★★★★ — Lakeside, June 2017** > We worked with Jeanie to redo almost the entire first floor of our house (kitchen, dining room, mudroom, bathroom, and office). Jeanie has great architectural style, beautiful design sense, and an ability to imagine the final product before a single wall has been demolished. My husband and I have very specific tastes, and Jeanie quickly figured out our style and helped us to achieve our vision. I have recommended her to many friends who have all loved working with her as well. If you use Jeanie as your architect, you will not be disappointed...but you may never leave your house again because you will love it so much! **Comment from Petrick Architecture:** > Lynn, thank you for this very kind and thoughtful review. It was a joy to work with you and Eric. I'm glad to know you are enjoying your remodeled home! **★★★★★ — Josh Frieman, June 2017** > I hired Petrick Architecture to remodel 3 bathrooms in a 150-year old Evanston home. Jeanie did a fantastic job from start to finish. After extensive consultation, she designed 3 great bathrooms that, while contemporary, have a classic, clean aesthetic that smoothly meshes with and sensitively references this historic home. Her attention to detail was extraordinary, both in the overall design and in ensuring the best choices of fixtures and materials, while keeping an eye on the budget and schedule and informing me of trade-offs as choices needed to be made. She found and worked extremely well with the contractor, making sure we all stayed on the same page throughout the process. In previous projects, I've had architects who "handed off" a project to a contractor and then largely receded from view. In contrast, Jeanie remained actively engaged throughout, helping strategize decisions as we uncovered "interesting" features behind the walls of this historic home. My family is very happy with the result, and I would recommend Jeanie highly to anyone contemplating a home architecture project. **★★★★★ — stephaniesmichel, June 2017** > I used Petrick Architecture for my kitchen remodel, and couldn't be happier with my new kitchen. The kitchen was finished on time, and Jeanie supervised the project every step of the way. Her artistic sensibilities and business acumen helped make a stressful time go smoothly. I highly recommend her. **★★★★★ — A-1 PAM Home Remodeling, Inc., June 2017** > I met Jeanie few years ago at one of the projects in Evanston IL, she was the architect + interior designer and I was GC. After this project I realized that she is a great professional who I and my co-workers enjoy working with and we have done number of projects together. Some of them were simple and some of them were larger with plenty of details. If anybody needs skilled, independent architect / interior designer Jeanie is a prefect fit !!! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Layden, June 2017** > Jeanie is a talented, highly competent architect and a joy to work with. Her knowledge of historical homes is invaluable. She translated our goals and desires into beautiful designs that have great utility. We remodeled all of our bathrooms, master walk in closet, added a second floor laundry and we're thrilled with the results. > We continue to work with Jeanie on projects that will enhance the house and our living experience. **★★★★★ — Jim Myers, June 2017** > Jeanie helped us on 2 projects. The first was a renovation of and addition to an 1880's home in a Historic Preservation District. She helped us with every aspect of the design and permitting process. She successfully helped us create a fully modern home while maintaining all of the historic charm of our home. > > Jeanie also helped us draw up plans for a new home that would fit into the requirements of a Historic Preservation district yet offer all modern design features and amenities. We highly recommend Petrick Architecture. **★★★★★ — Kyong Ro, June 2017** > Jeanie provided a design of our new kitchen and breakfast area. She was prompt, on time to our meetings and suggested some great ideas wrt layout and design. She was accommodating on changes to the design and provided us options on layouts. Overall, a great experience. Thanks Jeanie! **★★★★★ — Eric Ferkenhoff, June 2017** > If you want someone, or a company, that cares as much about the finished product - the details, the firm construction and the look - as you do, then look to Petrick Architecture. They redid our kitchen in Wilmette with such care and precision, moving walls and installing and up-to-date and beautiful space in a 1920s home. Was so pleased with the outcome. Thank you. **★★★★★ — Daniel Marre, May 2017** > Jeanie was excellent to work with. She is creative, timely, and professional. She listens to ideas; she interprets dreams; and turns those dreams into reality. She's also good at working within a budget. Even better, she has a deep bench of contractors, other service providers, and material suppliers. I will have more to do with my house and I will hire Jeanie again. ## Selected projects - [The Influencer](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-influencer-pj-vj~6055531) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: This historic residence needed a kitchen remodel that included access to the lush backyard. There was an existing shed structure covering the storm stairs below and obstructing views and access to the rear. By removing the shed we were able to gain access to the back and add a deck with pergola. Inside we were able to raise the ceiling height by 18". To do so we needed to remove and existing steel beam, rotate it and pocket it into the floor joist structure above. Now the space is a lofty and br… - [Timeless Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/timeless-elegance-pj-vj~6065328) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 5 - [Bespoke Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bespoke-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~6065345) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 5 - [Artist's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artist-s-kitchen-pj-vj~2471601) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 6 - [Boho Chic Residence Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boho-chic-residence-remodel-pj-vj~6065374) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 10 - [Hearth and Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hearth-and-home-pj-vj~2471604) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 10 - [Custom Kitchen Storage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-kitchen-storage-pj-vj~6065358) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 8 - [Tastemaker's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tastemaker-s-kitchen-pj-vj~1350639) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 11 - Description: With help from my design-savvy client, I was able to create a stylish yet practical solution to her functional problems in the existing kitchen. The space was dark, cramped, and disorganized. While making dinner, she ran back and forth through a two-way door to communicate with her children in the family room. Backpacks and homework spilled into the kitchen and lights were on regardless of the time of day. To solve these issues, we opened up the wall between the family room to improve communicat… - [Mid-Century Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-addition-pj-vj~2471605) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 7 - [Curated Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/curated-condo-pj-vj~940278) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 17 - Description: Chicago architect Jeanie Petrick directs this humdrum 1920’s vintage condo into a bright, airy luxurious family home.

The homeowners were looking for a large kitchen with eat-in dining, mudroom, and family room on the first floor. They also decided to add on a heated screened-in porch outside of the family room creating more space for all season entertaining.

In this remodel, we replaced the counter tops, added tile back splashes, and removed some of the cabinetry, while re-using existing cabinetry, to give it more of an open feel. New open shelving was also introduced, along with a new iconic Mid Century light fixture by George Nelson. Lastly, the wall to the family room was removed and a new mahogany wood pen… - [Queen Anne on Orrington](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/queen-anne-on-orrington-pj-vj~448683) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 13 - Description: To bring this historical Victorian house into the 21st Century, I remodeled the existing kitchen, adding a mudroom and eat-in banquette.
