J Kretschmer Architecture & Art
You have ideas and goals. Our mission is to help you make that happen starting with resources and guides to help you prepare for your first meeting with an architect and inform you on the design process. After living in our house for a little over three years, my wife and I realized what we didn't like, but we lacked the vision to correct it.

Enter Jennifer, who designed our complete kitchen remodel and also came up with a wonderful preliminary design for a future second story addition (making sure that we won't redo everything we did in the kitchen when we finally get to phase 2). Jennifer was a pleasure to work with, and had great vision for our space starting from the initial consultation.

She really recognized our desire for improved flow throughout our home and into the backyard. It's hard to even remember what our home was like before because the new layout is so much better. Jennifer stayed involved even after the initial design, connecting us the contractors that we used (who were great) and working with them to make sure they understood the design plan.
