    JRN Design Associates llc

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 20, 2014
    “We hired Jeff Rice last year to work with us on designing our retirement home. He took our thoughts about what we wanted to have in our custom home and designed it better than we had imagined. He walked us through every part of the design process and what he came up with surpassed our dreams. Anytime we called with a question he would answer or meet with us. Jeff is very easy to talk to and excellent at designing and staying within your budget. Our house is in the building stage right now and we have gotten great comments on our design. We have given Jeff's name to a few people who were interested in working with him. Thanks Jeff, for our wonderful retirement home and we will continue to pass along JRN Design.”

    “Kim Haig is a fantastic architect. She has a great eye for the details large and small, and knows how to put together spaces that work well both on their own and room-to-room in relation to each other. Our project was a success and it started with the plans she created.”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 15, 2014
    “I met Mark in the most prescriptive, out-of-context setting: the school fundraiser! You can tell a lot by how someone deals with all the craziness and I was struck by how nice Mark and his wife were. I am not at all surprised by how lovely his work is. As a fellow professional, I can see his work is top notch. His personality is too. If I were building a home in the Frankfurt area, I would give him a call.”

    “The word that stands out most for me with Caleb Norris is patient. Designing a home is fun but also overwhelming at times. Caleb was patient as he worked with me and walked through many ideas with me. I believe this company has all the knowledge and resources to give you a wonderful design experience.”
    Ken Richmond, Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Lake Ann
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 7, 2015
    “We hired Ken Richmond to design a home for us about 14 years ago. There is not a day that goes by that we do not enjoy the artistry and innovation that he brought to the project. He was extremely attentive to what we wanted and amazingly creative in delivering beyond anything we asked. Earlier this year, we called upon Ken again as we tried to solve a difficult roofing challenge for a winter home in Florida. He came up with a novel and artful solution that both my husband and I just loved. We came to realize that any building project will never be better than the design, no matter how expertly crafted. Ken excels at artistic design. We give him our highest recommendation.”

    “I am a professional interior designer and have had many opportunities to work with Colleen on various projects. She is my go-to person for architectural drawings, renderings and concept illustrations. She has also partnered on several remodel and new construction jobs needing an architectural component. She is extremely knowledgeable, creative and professional with a very strong work ethic. I highly recommend her!”

    “Ken designed a custom home for us in 2015. We’d never built before so we were not sure what to expect. Ken was recommended to us by general contractor, Dean Adams. The decision to work with Ken is a great reflection on Dean and one that really paid dividends for us. Ken is extremely humble and thoughtful. We started with a blank sheet of paper and list of “requirements”. Ken listened to our desires and helped them come to life in a design that fit us perfectly. We’ve lived in our house for about 8 months and we have not found one foundational design element we would change. The use of space is super efficient and the room proportions are spot on. As with all projects we did run into one significant bump in the road. Ken was extremely professional in helping evaluate options and navigate around the bump. In the end, our initial high level of respect for Ken (and Dean) grew as we worked through the issue. The final result was a home that we love!”
