Introduction: Commercial & Residential architectural, engineering and interiors design. Provide whole building design, conceptual drawings and permit sets. 3D rendering presentation services available. I provide recommendations with health and sustainabilities. Such as alternative energy features; solar power and geothermal cooling and radiant heating in commercial, institutional and residential projects. The processes- Preliminary Design - Every project will start by interviewing with the owner. The owner(s) will provide existing conditions of the building and site information. These information will be included in the “Design Agreements”. The owner(s) will allow adequate time to finish the existing condition survey, design and cad productions. Once the owner(s) approve the preliminary design- The production team will creat the permit drawings to include details and code informations. The process could take up to 6 month of time; depending on the complexities. Below is what my customer commented; Jane is both a realtor and an architect. She helped me with window replacement projects and my rental unit. The rental unit project included: bathroom renovation, kitchen design and re-distribution of an existing laundry room to include laundry and apartment entrance with entry hall.  The subsequent  tenants said the apartment design was excellent. Jane is passionate about  architecture. She ( and her husband David) ) helped me visualize my existing living space into a customized space that is beautiful and practical. Much appreciated was their being current with trending materials. It  provided me with more design choices and lower price tags. In particular, the kitchen floor product they recommended Had design options that jazzed up the whole main level living area. Jane  has the ability to increase a home‘s  value without unnecessary expenditures and her healthcare background adds a healthy living environment to her design projects! She did a lot of research on my window replacement product. I never would have considered casement windows. They were a good choice for my window openings. The finished look is awesome. I enjoy my home’s curb appeal every time I come home! I highly recommend Jane’s services. Linda B, Falls Church, Va

I decided to reach out because of the wonderful reviews from previous customers. I have a rather unique architectural situation and Jane has been more than willing to help. She has been crystal clear with information and has been wonderful in doing all that she can to help. I’m hopeful that she will be able to help.

I hired Jane to draw up plans for two adjoining properties that I manage, so that I could have a full idea of what I'm working with. The properties are 150+ years old, so the project was challenging, to say the least. Despite the challenges, Jane stayed late to make sure she properly measured everything and even came back to the space to get additional measurements. Due to the complicated layout of the buildings, I had a number of requests for her which she addressed promptly and professionally. I am very happy with the final result and have already made use of the plans she made in my management of the property. Additionally, her knowledge of the local codes/regulations and permitting process was invaluable in answering a number of questions my tenants had. I will certainly be using her services again for future projects.

I would highly recommend Jane and Natural Home. She was extremely thorough, helped me think through the overall design, and guided me through each step to ensure I understood all of my options. I have been thinking about building a home for over two years, but she had new ideas I had never considered! I feel much more confident and finally ready to build my dream home!! Thank you!

Natural Home's reply
Thank you! Solomon- I decided to offer the real estate service as I have more ways to influence the site the building with beneficial existing conditions. If the building is sited correctly to allow nature to enhance the living condition. For example; abundant of solar energy in the living room and air circulations; etc. this will reduce the need of excess air conditioning and lighting. Hope you keep my service in mind for the land purchase. Have a wonderful summer!

Jane has a wealth of information and valuable intel in design and in the profession of design. Though we only had the chance to speak, as a design professional, I learned much from her experiences that she she relayed to me. I hope that we may be able to work together in the future
