Jen helped us design and build a home that was beyond our expectations. She added so much more to the ideas that we had, and the result was exquisite. Our contractors continually praised the design and preparation that Jen provided, and she was a resource through the whole project. Our build was complicated, and Jen's expertise was critical to our success. She was such a pleasure to work with, really cared about what we wanted to achieve with our project and helped us create the home of our dreams.

Thank you Elysa. Knowing that a client loves the end results of their project is so very gratifying. It's a team effort, and I felt fortunate to be a part of it. I wish you both much happiness in your dream home!

Jen helped us with a total remodel of our kitchen -- relocating appliances and entries, adding built-ins, rethinking it all. (And of course, needing to blend it with the rest of the house.) The new space works so much better and feels so much bigger, even though it is the same square footage. It is filled with light, there's room to work and room to gather! It also works better with the adjoining rooms.
Whenever we had questions, Jen was very fast to respond. She worked really well with the contractor, too.
The new kitchen is such a good fit for us and for the house. In a funny way, the totally new design feels like it's been here forever -- it's that sense of being "right" finally.

Knowing how much time you and your family spend in the kitchen, Torrey, I'm so happy that it feels "right" after all this time! It was fun to work with you all on it. Enjoy your first round of holiday cooking in there!

We had the pleasure of working with Jen for several projects, everything from a custom kitchen to large scale renovations. Jen is incredibly confident in her work, easy to talk to, and open to collaboration. The overall experience between client, architect, and builder far exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Jen for your architectural needs.

Thanks for the kind words, Alex. Looking forward to working with you and your crew on more projects down the road!
We have hired Jen for a number of projects. One of our favorites is a 3rd floor room that has slanted walls due to roof lines. Jen was very creative in maximizing the space and working around these walls. We just completed construction and now have a great room for guests that has a twin bunk bed plus a double bed built-in. There is also a window seat that captures the views from this level. Jen's creativity was key to the success of this project. Jen also finished deck designs that include a screened-in porch. We hope to get that completed this Spring. We would recommend Jen to anyone.

As the architect and designer for our kitchen remodel, Jen listened to our ideas and added her own expertise. We had several pieces that we wished to repurpose and she blended old with new to help us create a functional space with a lot of character. Her 3-D model was instrumental for visualizing our new space and for choosing how to handle the removal of a load-bearing wall. She drafted an electrical plan with a variety of lighting – recessed cans, pendants, and sconces (in the adjacent living room) and we appreciate having all the options. We wanted more light, more storage, and a more functional flow in our existing space; Jen helped us accomplish all of our wishes. We highly recommend her.

Jen Lane designed an addition and major restyling of our home’s exterior. The exterior design ideas she came up with transformed an outdated 1980’s contemporary exterior into what might called a “modern craftsman” style. The design of the addition was very well thought out and met our need for additional living space without changing the home’s footprint. The renovation included adding a story, raising the roof, a new stairway, two new rooms, and the alteration of two existing rooms.
The attention to detail that Jen put into the design ensured the space meets our needs very well. The space is both beautiful and functional. The placement of windows optimizes the views and natural light. The winder staircase she designed to fit within our limited space is a highlight of the space. Every day we enjoy the space that she designed and the small details that look so nice.
We really value the design ideas and advice Jen provided. She advised us about which design elements would make an impact and what was not worth the cost or could create future problems. She really listens to her clients and incorporates their style preferences with her expertise to deliver a design that delights the customer and that can be built. She also did a wonderful job guiding us with color schemes for the exterior of our home.
Jen was actively involved in the construction of our project also. She met with us and the builder multiple times to make decisions regarding style, technical design, long term maintenance, code requirements, and cost. We felt as though we were in capable hands throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jen for any job large or small.

Working with Jennifer Lane is a pleasure. We have worked with Jen on large scale whole home renovations, additions and new construction. The real testament to her her ability comes from the client directly. Consistently we hear that jen really listens and works hard to design a project that really fits the lifestyle and aesthetic of the customer. Jen threads the needle on timeless design and great use of space. A winning combination

We worked with Jennifer Lane of Jennifer Lane Architecture to help us redesign our house. We wanted a total gut of the first floor, with a media room and master bath added upstairs. She listened to what we wanted and made appropriated recommendations. Granted our vision and our budget were not always in line at times.. She was patient with us and listened to our ideas and incorporated our designs. Both my husband and I had different ideas she gave us 3 kid friendly designs options to choose from. We are very pleased with our designs and all of the contractors that have reviewed the designs compliment us on the plans.
We would recommend Jennifer Lane 100%

When our home was severely damaged in Tropical Storm Irene, we had a long road to recovery ahead of us. Jennifer Lane was an indispensable part of the team that helped us rebuild our home to be better than it had ever been. With the back part of our home demolished and the whole first floor gutted, we had an opportunity to significantly redesign our home's structure and layout. Jen came on board while we were still doing post-flood demolition and helped us begin to envision the design potential our project presented. First, she met with us to understand (and help us think through) what our ideas and goals were for the project. Then she helped us refine and improve those ideas by filtering them through her keen designer's eye and practical project experience. She distilled these conversations into a series of conceptual sketches depicting a variety of options that all captured the main elements of our goals. With these, she enabled us to really hone in on the final contours of our project design. Once we had the high-level design determined, Jen met with our builder onsite to align his understanding with ours and determine what level of detail he preferred in the construction drawings. She delivered exactly what he wanted and exactly what we had collaboratively conceived. The results were spectacular. Our home was completely transformed, including a redesigned and open kitchen, entryway/mudroom, and dining areas with custom built-ins and cabinetry, using Vermont native woods and reclaimed materials. We absolutely love our new space, and are so much more comfortable sharing it with family and friends.
Bottom line: Jen was terrific the whole project through. She guided us skillfully, respectfully and compassionately to arrive at the best expression of our hopes for our home after being displaced. She never imposed her aesthetic identity on us; rather, she lent us the benefit of it as she helped us improve, refine and interpret our own ideas. Beyond the aesthetic piece, she was responsive, timely and under budget. And importantly, our builder was highly satisfied with the construction drawings Jen produced, and he said that Jen was excellent to work with. I could not recommend Jen more highly.

When we decided to make some major renovations to our beloved 1850 farmhouse, we knew we needed an architect to support our vision...and boy, were we glad we hired Jen Lane! Jen balanced perfectly our dreams for the space and what could be realistically achieved within our budget and structural elements of the house. She is creative, an insightful listener, and prides herself on keeping up to date on best practices. She had an excellent relationship with our builder and together they found ways to incorporate original windows, a pantry and even an old staircase found behind a wall into the finished product...perfectly blending our new porch, entry, laundry and kitchen with the character and charm of the original.

Jen Lane provided both creative and practical advice for our remodeling project --(addition/garage). Jen was respectful of our ideas, and tailored her designs to meet our requirements. I was impressed with Jen's ability to meet deadlines and stay on budget.
Jen was also a good source of information on local contractors. I have already recommended Jen's work, and will continue to do so.
