After much research, my husband and I chose Jonathan Lee as our architect for the remodel of our home. We could not have made a better choice.
We met Jonathan at our house, and he took us through his education and philosophy of architecture. Then he took us through his thoughts regarding our remodel. He listened to everything we wanted out of the house. He planned accordingly.
When Jonathan brought us the plans, we discussed the things that we had questions about, and he listened to the us regarding the changes we wanted to make. Then we received his final plans with our changes perfectly integrated into the design.
We were not in the city when our renovations were being done. Jonathan handled everything for us. Jonathan recommended the contractor, and he was wonderful. We chose our interior designer. Jonathan worked seamlessly with her. In fact, she commented several times that he was easy to work with. Jonathan worked with landscapers to enhance the view from the home.
Once the job began, Fred and I, added some things and Jonathan was always quick to include them and do what had to be done to accommodate our late additions.
We love our home. The final project exceeded our expectations. We do not have any complaints. It really is spectacular. Everyone who visits loves it.
Irene and Fred Smith

Jonathan provided creative and beautiful designs in the remodel of our 19th century dance pavilion turned summer home. We wanted to preserve the essence of the original structure with modern lines and functional spaces. He listened carefully and hit the nail on the head. Jonathan worked well with us and with the contractors at every step, and with his world of experience, was able to provide ideas and solutions new to us and to our builders. We could not be happier with the design, results or processes. Even though we were miles away from his office, communication was easy and efficient, and Jonathan is the consummate architect, professional, and gentleman.

Jonathan Lee came highly recommended to us, and did not disappoint. We wanted to make a few changes to a lakeside cottage that had been in the family for 100 years. The goal was to make the improvements- electric, plumbing, heat and air and add a front porch in a way that looked seamless- as if the porch had always been part of the cottage.
Visitors did a double take- “was this porch here the last time we were here?”

Jonathan listened to what we wanted, made drawings of options, and helped us through the process. His knowledge and taste are impeccable, and he is patient and generous with his ideas.

We were so pleased with his work and the process, that we have engaged him to build another structure for us.

Jonathan has helped us design two houses. Both have been beautiful, extremely successful personal residences that have also been featured in national publications in recognition of their aesthetic significance. Jonathan's superb understanding of the vocabulary of classical architecture is evident in every detail of his work. He is uncompromising in his commitment to quality, his choices of materials, and his insistence on craftsmanship. Deal with him using patience and he will reward you with a masterpiece.

Jonathan Lee is one of the finest and most professional gentleman my wife and I have ever worked with. He designed our new home using a small, existing farmhouse and created a 10,000 sq. ft. "home for the ages." His attention to detail, like 5 and 7 piece crown molding; his knowledge of mechanical systems; his choice of colors, and his ability to work with sub-contractors are extraordinary. My wife and I could not be more pleased and we continue to enjoy the home after 15 years. Oh.. the best news? The home and its design still look fresh and "like new"! In addition, we hired Jonathan to design our retirement home in downtown Charlevoix and he again produce a masterpiece. And really, best of all we call Jonathan our friend.
