J K Janiga Architects

With over 14 years experience in various types of projects at larger architectural firms, Jerry Janiga founded J K Janiga Architects in 1986 based on honesty and integrity. Beginning by specializing in custom residential design, Jerry worked to build personal relationships with each client. Eventually the firm's services expanded to include full commercial design. With projects across the country from West Virginia to Oregon, J K Janiga Architects continues to flourish because of its founding principles.

While features of a home may have served a purpose or been a unique in their day they many times do not meet the needs of a modern family. Renovation, when done properly can update the functionality of a home to better serve its current owners. This is also an easy way to improve the curb appeal and the visual design of the home. With J K Janiga Architects extensive background, this type of home renovation can be a successful and enjoyable experience for the client. Renovation of an existing 1950's ranch home incorporated building upon the contemporary design elements of the original home with a creative contemporary influence.

As some of the most utilized spaces within a home why should the experience be anything less than spectacular? Outdated kitchens and bathrooms many times obscure the positive aspects of a home as well as affecting the functionality of daily life. From simple replacement of fixtures and finishes, to a complete renovation, J K Janiga Architects will explore all the possibilities to find a solution that works within your budget, while improving daily life and fulfilling your dreams. As typical of homes built in the 1950's, this house lacked the master suite we have come to enjoy in newer residences.

At J K Janiga Architects our design integrity is a result of our total accountability to the client. For Owners, Developers or Commercial Tenants we provide a range of architectural services, including design, engineering, documentation, building analysis and identity transformation. Whether it is a simple facelift or a new corporate office, the integrity and philosophy that led to success in residential design has been equally successful in the commercial setting. Working individually with each client to assess needs and desires assures we meet the functional needs in a beautiful way.

Sometimes homeowners find they are in need of more space but really love their current home or its location. Whatever the reason, an addition may be worth considering rather than purchasing a new home. Whether looking for additional space that is contextual with the existing home, or taking this opportunity to develop a fresh look for your house, J K Janiga Architects works with you to explore all the possible concepts allowing you to find the perfect design solution for both personal tastes and functional needs.

Once the drawings have been completed we continue to work with you, the client, to assure the project is built in accordance to both the design and your specific needs. We are available to review alternative methods with your selected builder, as well as to help each client make decisions at all steps of the project.

As relationships have been built with clients over the years so too have relationships been built with other professionals. We maintain relationships with professionals from specialty engineering to construction. This allows us to provide a wider range of services for our clients, all with a single point of contact. Each of these professionals is highly recommended and part of J K Janiga Architects extended family. Included here are some of our longer relationships that show the quality of professionals we have the pleasure of offering to our clients.

Home is where the heart is. This statement rings true in every residence J K Janiga Architects has had the privilege of designing. From simple additions to expansive residences, we strive to create a custom setting specifically developed for each individual client. No two homes are alike and each one reflects the personal tastes and desires of the client. This custom approach and attention to detail makes each project we develop a true home for the client's heart. From very traditional homes to ultra contemporary residences, each project is an opportunity to develop more than just a home, but an expression of the clients themselves.

J K Janiga Architects believes integrating the design concept into all aspects of the project provides for the most successful final products. Involvement of our team in each step of the project from initial conception to completion of construction assures that no detail of the original design concept is overlooked. Through maintaining a small company we are able to provide this personal attention to each Client and their project.

Whether it is corporate headquarters or small tenant offices J K Janiga Architects has the experience and background to provide complete architectural services. Our thorough design process involves all members of the team from owners to employees, assuring that both the functional needs will be addressed while creating dynamic spaces, setting your business apart from others.
