Lenore from Lenore Weiss Studios is a professional to the very core of the word. Having had the pleasure of knowing Lenore for over thirty years I have seen her grow into the fine Architect and Designer she is today. Her taste runs the gamut from Contemporary to Traditional and Transitional, but Lenore's ability to read her client and select design with respect to their taste is what makes her unique. Bringing together colors, tiles, architectural influences, and design ideas your project with Lenore will be one of a kind and in the end will resonate your own personal style. Lenore's ease in conveying information is sure to set her apart from her competition and she has a quality way in which to execute a project from beginning to end.

Lenore designed and managed a 12k sq foot addition/remodel to our office space. She is creative, collaborative and a consummate professional. Lenore’s keen eye turned our “boring” accounting firm environment into a fresh and modern workable space for our employees and clients alike. Lenore is a trusted professional and friend and I would highly recommend her for any project.

-D.F., Managing Partner

Lenore is an outstanding architect who understands the needs of her client and the resources that are available to meet those needs. I regularly consult with Lenore on all things related to insulation and find her an outstanding professional who really cares about the needs of the client!

I have collaborated with Lenore on a couple of projects and find her to be thoughtful, creative, and knowledgeable about the latest products. She designed a stunning dressing room ( Girl cave) which we executed as the contractor and the client was extremely happy and is contemplating another project with our combined forces. What I enjoyed about the process with Lenore was her attention to detail and her easy manor in dealing with any little issues that arose and from start to finish the project went smoothly!

My husband and I have been working with Lenore for over 20 years. She has done a number of projects for us including: our condominium in Chicago, our home in Michigan and my husband's office. Lenore has elegant, understated taste, is extremely capable at designing a place that meets the lifestyle needs and is always a pleasure to work with. I rely on Lenore's expertise whenever I update anything because I know her gifted eye for decor will make the design and the colors of the space look fantastic. Additionally, Lenore has an outstanding memory. I don't know how she does it, but she remembers what the light fixture looked like that she selected 20 years earlier. So if I want to update the room, she knows exactly what will look nice in that space. Basically, I don't make a decorating move without Lenore'so expertise.

Our remodel, which included removing walls and gutting the kitchen, gutting a bathroom and relocating the laundry from the basement, was not a straight-forward project. Lenore was involved in every aspect of the project from design and drawings, to structural issues and participating in contracting meetings. She was sensitive to our budget. Her expertise as both an architect and designer was impressive and she was a pleasure to work with.

-B.M., client

I have had the pleasure of working with Lenore for 20 years. In that time, whether the project was large or small, Lenore truly treats every client with the same level of professionalism and attention to detail. Her passion for innovative design using natural/sustainable materials keeps her on the cutting edge of contemporary interior architectural design. She listens to her clients and develops plans that can be completed on time and on budget; a true professional at everything she does!

-H.S., Trade Partner

Lenore redesigned my master bathroom. Her architectural acumen was stellar. She created an amazing use of space, integrating interesting angles and architectural interest. She helped me select vanities, stone, and fixtures which fit my style and which I all loved. I would highly recommend her. She is easy to work with and is just a very nice person.

-C.G., client

As a realtor, I rely on like-minded professionals to collaborate with me in providing the best possible service for my clients. I know I can always count on Lenore. I recently had a client who needed to purchase a home in a specific area, but the housing stock was limited. We hired Lenore to help remodel an existing home we found in that area so that it would better suit my clients’ particular needs. She came up with unique and creative solutions to elegantly resolve some lingering design issues, and my client now loves living in the house that is completely theirs in every way. I love having Lenore as a talented resource to help me make my clients happy.

-J.G., client & realtor

We recently completed a house remodel using Lenore --principal at Lenore Weiss Studios. Lenore utilized her expertise as both an architect and an interior designer to create a beautiful open floor plan in our 40 year old colonial. At our first meeting, she asked us thought provoking questions about our lifestyle, how we used various rooms and what we really wanted out of the remodel. She worked with us to design a house that was ours and satisfied our needs. She redesigned our rarely used living room into a beautiful entertaining area complete with a bar and lounge seating area. She updated our tired and dated family room into a sophisticated but comfortable space which included the redesign of our old stone fireplace into a beautiful marble fireplace that is the centerpiece of the room. The paint colors she selected are sophisticated while being warm and cozy. She continued to work with me on staging our "new home" by placing our artwork, furniture and various pieces not necessarily back where they started but often in a new space in our home. She is very easy to work with, worked very well with my contractor and truly cared about our project. Her professional and integrity was apparent in everything we did together. I wholeheartedly recommend Lenore and Lenore Weiss Studios for your project!!

Working with Lenore was a blessing.  Sounds kind of odd, right?  She brings a smile, positive attitude and focus, along with expertise in architecture and design to the details as well as the big picture  Lenore navigates the space between the professionals and client, seamlessly—actively listening, reframing for understanding and communicating with all members of the team. Lenore is the consummate professional. I’d work with her again in a minute!

- D.H., client

Lenore is dedicated to helping her clients from start to finish, not backing away until the job is done to satisfaction. Her creativity outshines her competition and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat.

-M.S., Trade Partner

Lenore is everything you want in an architect. She listens -- designing a space around your unique wants and needs. She is creative -- recommending solutions others often don't think of, such as materials and processes from Europe. She is "green" -- recommending sustainable products and methods when these are a good fit or requested. She is smart and funny -- making time with her well spent as well as productive. I can't imagine working with anyone else!
