Architectural residential design
JKL Home Design draws custom homes, additions and remodels for homeowners and builders across Northeast Wisconsin. Most of the work comes by referral from builders who already know how the plans hold up once the framing starts.
What I do
Drawings a builder can build from
Every project starts with how you want to live in the house and ends with a set of drawings complete enough to price, permit and build.
New home design
A custom plan drawn around your lot, your budget and the way your family actually uses a house, from first sketch through the final construction set.
Additions and remodels
Reworking what you already have so the new space belongs to the house instead of looking bolted on. Confirm: do you take on interior-only remodels, or additions only?
Garages, guest houses and ADUs
Stand-alone garages, guest houses, ADUs and pool houses, drawn to match the main house and fit the lot.
Selected work
Recent projects
Three projects on the front page, the rest on the projects page.
Shingle-style custom home
A two-story shingle-style home with a covered front porch, a coffered living room ceiling and a butler's pantry off the kitchen.
Modern farmhouse
A white modern farmhouse with black trim, a navy kitchen island and a mudroom that works for a busy family.
One design, built three times
The same design built on three different lots, each one adjusted to its site.
How it goes
From first conversation to permit set
We talk
Your lot, your budget, how many people live there and what is wrong with every house you have looked at so far.
Concept plans
Floor plans and elevations to react to. This is the stage where moving a wall costs nothing.
Bid plans
A set your builders can price from, so you have real numbers before the final drawings.
Construction documents
The full set your builder pulls a permit with and builds from, with extended support if questions come up during construction. Confirm what a set includes: foundation, floor plans, elevations, sections, electrical?
Who draws it
Jill Verhaagh
I have been designing homes in Northeast Wisconsin since 2006, first with Ark Homes, then my own design firm, then as an architectural designer at Wisconsin Building Supply. I started JKL Home Design in 2021. I studied architecture at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, and my construction and structural background means the plans hold up once the framing starts.
