Emotive Architecture

Dec 2021

We worked with Emotive to renovate a 50s ranch house in NW DC. It was a large project as we gutted the entire house and entirely reimagined the interior space. Working with Emotive was very easy and collaborative and 2 years later we are still delighted with the results and looking forward to working with Emotive again to transform the exterior and backyard.

Jason at Emotive Architecture prepared plans for a full basement renovation, navigated ANC and DCRA permitting, and guided us through the process. He is professional, respectful, and gets the job done timely, in a quality manner, and at a fair price. We would use Jason again for an architectural project without hesitation. Lawrence H

I hope there isn't a character limit here, because I don't think I will ever be able to fully sing Jason's praise. In December 2012, I purchased my first home - a row house that was in need of a complete gut renovation. Jason was recommended to me by a friend, and I am eternally grateful for her sage recommendation! Skill and Workmanship: When the professionals at DCRA (including former architects) are asking for your architect's card because of how spot on his work is, you know you're working with a top-notch architect. When a zoning reviewer's call is overturned based on your architect's interpretation of a code section, you know you're working with an architectural genius. Jason = architectural genius. That is all. Customer Service: As you may imagine, being a first-time homeowner is stressful in and of itself. Buying your first home and stripping it down to the studs (think Extreme Makeover: Home Edition) is pretty insane. Thankfully, I had Jason to guide me through the entire process. From summer 2012, when I hired him, through present day, Jason has treated this project as if it were his own. There was not one renovation decision that I made without consulting Jason (and with a gut renovation that spanned a year and 3 months from design to completion, there were LOADS of decisions made). He was ALWAYS available and made me feel like I was his only client, even though I knew I wasn't. Jason is more than my architect; he has truly become a family member (the kind you don' t mind when they stop by unannounced). If you're looking for just a "good" architect, Jason is out of your league. I recommend him for homeowners who, like me, wanted near perfection. I certainly found that and more in Jason, and he was worth every single penny I paid for his services. Any and every renovation I do will always begin with Jason.
