Cari Rosner Jelen, Architect
At CDA, we believe in making the most out of every opportunity, be it design or otherwise. We believe that awe and inspiration are just as important as safety and security, and that the devil is most certainly in the details. We thrive on the idea that our work is making a difference in the daily lives of our clients. We believe in nurturing our relationships and local community and have dedicated our practice to helping homeowners to this end. Most importantly, our goal is to ensure every client is happy with the final result. I’m fortunate to have a team that shares these values. My passion for architectual design began in second grade when I built a model hotel for a class project. The power of being able to determine the experience of those imaginary inhabitants was intoxicating! That early spark led me to focus my career on: • Expanding homes to meet the needs of growing families • Designing ADUs to accommodate aging-in-place and provide supplemental income • Improving your home’s connection to nature • Reimaging your space to support and enhance your daily life • Helping homeowners make informed decisions about the costs/benefits of renovating
