Chicago's Innovative Architect | 3x Best of Houzz

Architect Natalja Dobos discovered her love for architecture through her exposure of the diverse urban environments while living and traveling through Europe. Natalja received her degree in Architecture from Technical University of Berlin. She is a licensed architect in the State of Illinois and is accredited through National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). Her extensive work experience in Europe and the United States gives her a deeper understanding and wider perspective of architectural styles and trends. Natalja will bring passion for space planning and attention to detail to your next architectural project. For Natalja, each new project presents another opportunity to not just design a functional space of four walls and a roof, but an opportunity to create a space where the client will take in the harmony that quality architecture offers. Natalja believes that successful projects come from listening to her clients and designing in close collaboration with them.

She is awesome to work with. And even though I live really far, she came to my house for our initial meeting without hesitation. Her reputation and humility (I don't have a big project) are impressive assets .

Natalja is the architect that you wish you could find. She is a master of her craft who is capable of thinking outside of the box to bring your dreams to reality. If she is available to take on your project, consider yourself lucky. You will be working with someone who will go above and beyond to make you happy with your end result. This was our first project with Natalja and it certainly won't be our last. We have recommended her to all of our family and friends.

Natalja is well known in the North Shore for her outstanding work with large-scale projects and so I felt confident from the onset of working with N Dobos Architecture. Her expertise is evident from start to completion and matched by her creative and friendly approach to explaining structural and design options made a significant impact to lowering costs and complying with updated codes without sacrificing the inspirational vision of the whole project. N Dobos Architecture's network of construction partners did timely and high quality work and was another tangible benefit to the value of working with Natalja -- she really knows how to turn a dream into reality!

Natalja was so easy to work with! Helped us accomplish our house goals and created the perfect plans. She was responsive during the building process with anything that popped up - everyone has commented on how well our plans were detailed. My husband and I would recommend Natalja to anyone!

Natalja did a great job on our whole-home renovation project. She is responsive, thoughtful, and creative. We had many challenges during the project and Natalja went above and beyond to help solve them.

It was a pleasure working with Natalja. We did a lengthy and involved interior remodeling project at our house and had encountered various contractors and other service providers along the way. Natalja was unequivocally one of the bright spots in this long process. She was easy to communicate with, quick to grasp our thoughts and convert them into drawings, and made helpful suggestions to bring our vision to life. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any architectural design needs.

Natalie drew plans for our house. She did an amazing job. It was great to work with her, she definitely knows what she’s doing. Whenever there was some problem from the village she knew exactly how to fix it. We would definitely work with her again in the future. We highly recommend her.

Natalja was a fantastic resource for our project. Her designs maximized the use of our small space and helped us to identify the best possible solution for relocating a staircase. She was very responsive in answering questions and helping us through the zoning and bidding processes, and she did a great job of revising our drawings when the scope of our project changed. We could not be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend her for any project, large or small.

I recently hired Natalja to design and draw an addition for some client's of mine in Lake Forest and I couldn't have been happier with her work. Her drawings were easy to read, thorough and completed on-time. It's always a pleasure to work with a professional and I will certainly keep her in mind for future projects!

I utilized N Dobos Architecture for a kitchen remodel and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She is easy to work with because, while she has a great eye for aesthetics, she is also willing to work with and incorporate your own visions. She also has a great contractor whom I had to use after mine just flaked out on me. I am beyond happy with the results of my kitchen.

We had the great fortune to find Natalja Dobos to create the architectural plans for our new house. She is very talented and professional, at the same time, very sensitive to our own vision. She allowed us to voice our opinions without having any "ego" about it and always came up with some elegant solutions. She was very flexible, knowledgeable, patient, available to answer any questions and paid attention to any details. It was a great pleasure working with her. We appreciate her efforts and are extremely happy with the result that is beyond anything we have ever hoped for. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for top-notch architect for resonable price.

I give N Dobos Architecture the highest review. I have used N. Dobos Architectural services on more than one project. Ms. Dobos is professional, knowledgeable and her fees are fair and reasonable. She is easy to communicate with on a personal level and very open to listening to your feedback. She also on one occasion accommodated me into her schedule to meet a critical deadline on a large remodel design. I would recommend N Dobos Architecture for any size venture.

I worked with Natash from N Dobos Architecture on a condo renovation. She listens to your needs and taste and comes up with the perfect plan and solution for the space. She is creative, hardworking , has a great sense of aesthetics and responds immediately to any concerns. I would highly recommend her!

Being a home owner who inadvertently also became the general contractor for a gut rehab of a 100 year old, having a partner like Natalja was invaluable! Besides providing the needed architectural services (that included revising layout of existing structure, plus a 3 level addition) Natalja also offered much needed practical advise and professional tips that made the project execution seamless.

Natalja, the owner of N Dobos Architecture, is a great high end architecture/interior design professional. She takes time to understand her client needs, really listens, and proposes very creative solutions. Natalja works quickly, adheres to deadlines, takes time explaining everything, communicates with the village, general contractor, subcontractors and other vendors
