Jeffrey L. Miller Architect, PC

We engaged Jeff to help us conceptualize and design our dream home at the beach. We had definite ideas that Jeff analyzed and developed into a very unique style, incorporating the use of natural materials such as cedar, hemlock, fir and fireplaces of stacked basalt stone. The floor plan is aesthetically pleasing and is a very livable and functional design. We are very pleased with the result and truly enjoy every time we step into our home at the beach. Jeff is a talented and true professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering engaging an architect to help convert their ideas into reality.

My wife and I own a 70 year old Roscoe Hemenway in the West Hills. In 2006 we hired Jeff to build out a new kitchen, garage, and addition to our home. Jeff put us in touch with a great contractor, and with his design and oversight of the project we are very happy with the results. Jeff is very easy to work with, and his design work is recognized of the highest quality. Remodels are never easy, but Jeff delivered a wonderful product.

Amazing professionalism and quality, despite everyone telling us he was the best architect for the project he still exceeded all of our expectations. Has anyone else seen the first set of plans and accepted everything with no changes-we did! That is how well Jeff understand our vision and implemented it like it was us doing the drawings. Simply the best and we cannot say enough superlatives to do him justice. On top of it he picked a perfect builder-ahead of schedule and under budget despite everything being of exquisite quality and superb craftsmanship. What a team.

We enthusiastically endorse Jeff Miller as our architect of choice. He has designed and overseen 3 major projects for us. First he listened to our ideas and dreams for our beachfront house at Gearhart. He designed a distinctive and fun vacation home. Second he interpreted our wishes for a stunning jewelry store and created the best looking store we could hope for. Third Jeff designed a very authentic-looking Dutch farmhouse and barn combination. We were impressed that he worked from one picture out of a book. His knowledge and experience in proven classic architectural design is the best in the Northwest. Moreover, he’s seasoned and fun to work with. David and Dolorosa Margulis Portland, Oregon

Jeff designed a remodel for our home in 2001. We chose him as we admired his work and heard glowing comments from those in which he was contracted. We aligned with his ascetics, loved what he designed for us, were impressed with his professionalism and efficiency. We look forward to working with him again.

As a commercial real estate investor/developer I have workered with many different architects over the years. He attention to detail and the accuracy of his drawings are the best I have seen. His creativity, demand for quality and style will show though in your finished home for decades. Todd M. Gooding

A building contractor for over 35 years I have worked with Jeff on many of his projects. His designs are done with perfection in keeping with the existing home and surrounding area. I have found that his plans are well laid out with all the pertinent information and schedules needed for accurate estimating giving the the client true cost of the project. His staff are among the best being always available, resolving any potential issues before they arise and working in the best cost to build methods. I have always enjoyed working with Jeff because he has a very friendly demeanor making the project easier for all involved. Over the years I have been asked many times who I would recommend for an architect and Jeff is always on top of my list. James H.

We worked with Jeff for our Gearhart beach house project. We started with the notion of a major remodel and, with Jeff's help, came to conclusion we should rebuild. Jeff is extremely talented and listened to what house features were important to us. Within days, Jeff came back with a design that fit extremely well into the setting, met all our space/functionality needs and was simple and elegant. After completing the project, I can say that Jeff attention to detail and quality surpassed our expectations. There were details in the design which weren't evident to me until they were built-out by our very talented contractor and the details made the house. The house "lives" very well for us and we're happy with both the process of working with Jeff on the design and, more importantly, the final product.

I have worked with Jeffrey Miller for nearly 20 years, beginning in 1994, when he did a major remodel of our mid-century home. He made a tired house into a timeless residence. His work is superb, his artist's eye unerring. In addition, he is versatile--equally at home working with traditional and contemporary houses. Finally, he is a pleasure to work with--always timely in responding to requests, always attentive to my wishes, and perhaps equally important, fun!

Our family hired Jeff to remodel our newly purchased vacation home. Jeff completed his task to perfection; on time, on budget. He listened attentively to our ideas and kept focused on our desires for updating flooring, lighting and a complete kitchen do over. Jeff has a particular ability and talent for envisioning spaces. He offered suggestions we hadn't even considered to make the kitchen area more functional.

Jeff Miller and his associate, Tobin Weaver, provided all the design and interior decoration services for a significant renovation of a historic Portland home that we just completed, and we couldn't be happier with the result. From initial planning through the finishing details, they were respectful of the historic character of the home, attentive to our priorities as future residents and thoroughly professional in their approach. We especially appreciated their creativity in solving the issues inherent in making a 100 year-old structure into a modern, convenient living space. We would certainly use them in the future and recommend them to our friends.

We hired Jeff Miller to design a brand-new house for us in Portland Heights, near downtown Portland. We had seen pictures of his other private homes and they really captured the feel we wanted for our house. Jeff pretty much "got it" in one try in terms of the street look for the house and we continue to be pleased with it 4 years later. We have been told by many people that it is one of the only houses built recently that really looks like it "belongs" in our (traditional) neighborhood. We feel fortunate that he designed such a singular house for us. It is important to know ahead of time that Jeff has very strong opinions when it comes to house design. They are based on his extensive experience but be prepared to have an architect who is going to let you know his opinions! I believe that this is because he cares deeply about how the house turns out, and upon reflection, he was right about many things that we questioned at the time.
