Designing a home can feel daunting with so many decisions to juggle — from zoning and budget to comfort and aesthetics — but with a new build we seamlessly integrate each element, creating a thoughtful, functional, and truly personal space that reflects your lifestyle.

If you adore your home and community but are eager for updates, we’ll guide you through thoughtful options to enhance comfort, function, and beauty while honoring what you already love.

We value partnering with clients who embrace historic neighborhoods, where walkable streets, close community ties, and distinctive architecture define the setting. Our expertise lies in creating renovations, remodels, and additions that harmonize with styles such as Tudor Revival, Prairie, Mediterranean, Colonial Revival, and Bungalows, with completed projects across Florida, Georgia, and Pennsylvania ranging from $150,000 to over $15 million.

The C.O.A. application process can be complex and time-consuming, often leading to costly setbacks. Our team’s experience and strong working relationship with the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission ensures applications are handled with care and respect. We manage the filing and represent you at monthly JHPC meetings, guiding your project smoothly from submission to approval.

The Lane Group prescribes to the guidelines of designed buildings and specifying materials that are healthier, less energy consuming, more comfortable, more durable and economical.

Comprehensive, high-quality shop drawings accelerate the building process, protect critical design details, and ensure the accuracy of the finished work. By producing these drawings in-house and closely coordinating with suppliers and fabricators, we safeguard design integrity while streamlining construction, giving every project a seamless path from concept to completion.

Testimonials

We like to think our architectural designs speak for themselves; however, wood, brick and stone cannot
convey what a home means to its family, a business to its workers or a facility to its community. That is
why we are pleased to share the testimonials of the people who live in our designs as well as those of
our professional peers who helped us bring them to life.
________

Doug Lane was the key to success for a major renovation of our condo. We interviewed several architects before choosing Doug for our project. From our first meeting, his creative ideas flowed, and the result is amazing. Doug drew the plans, provided detailed specs, and oversaw much of the work. Not only is it beautiful (everyone says so), but the reconfigured space functions better than we could have imagined.

Doug really listened to our ideas, needs and desires, and was able to satisfy those while dealing with the complexities and limitations of renovations in a condo building. He worked hand-in-hand with our contractor to give us the best possible outcome. His role was made more significant because we were away from Jacksonville for most of the time that the project was underway.

We cannot say enough good things about Doug Lane and his team. We highly recommend them.

Buddy and Brenda Pollak, past client

I want to commend The Lane Group for the wonderful design of our remodeled home in Jacksonville. We had a lot of ideas about what we wanted to accomplish with the house as we had moved frequently during our lives and this was to be our final stop. Doug, Lucia and Daniel were able to incorporate all of our requirements into a seamless design that opened the house up and integrated the backyard into the living space. They were thorough and detail oriented and delivered very detailed documents for the build which helped the construction phase immensely. We’re thrilled with the final result.

Michael Kimmell, past client

“It is clearly an accolade of significance to be honored by your peers for design work which not only stands out architecturally, but also can be used to inspire or instruct others in the preservation and enhancement of historic areas statewide and nationally.”

Erik Olsen, past client

Doug and his staff are very professional, passionate and have the upmost attention to detail when it comes to working with their clients, plans and contractors. Their detailed plans alone speak for themselves. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a quality Architect to design and manage their future project.
