FR Review:
Insiders say it would be difficult to find a one-architect firm with the talent, personality and pedigreed experience to rival Liz Jahn. Her traditional designs are said to reflect a "tasteful human scale" and proportion to the site and surrounding community. Jahn is noted for being talented at contemporary design, but you're more likely to see her Shingle and Federal style homes and barn renovations. Sources say she is a genuine "people person" who enjoys dealing with a wide variety of clients, from empty nesters to young families.

Jahn has trained with some of the most notable names in the business--like Allan Greenberg, Robert A.M. Stern and Shope Reno Wharton. A graduate of Miami and Virginia, Jahn started her firm in 2000. Her work is dominated by high-end renovations--although they range from small one-room makeovers to large-scale guts with budgets of $1.5 million. Sources say the firm would probably be overextending itself if approached with a large-scale ground-up home simply because of the lack of manpower. Much of Jahn's work takes place in Greenwich, Wilton and Rye, but she has also worked in North Carolina and Colorado.

Although she will use outside consultants for bigger jobs, Jahn handles all aspects of each project. She is known to closely monitor the construction process and works in close coordination with builders. Jahn puts a lot of stock in selecting high-quality materials with an affinity for windows and doors, calling them "the best investment you can make." The firm charges a slightly lower fee based on a percentage of overall construction costs.

Representative Client Comments:
"Her greatest strength is her ability to work classical design without overdoing it or spoiling it." "She brought an eclectic twist to our previously classic look and we love it." "We sold it in three days for our asking price--what more can I say?" "She didn't cave in to the builder and always had our best interests in mind." "Excellent with dealing with those little surprises that pop up during a renovation."
