ABOUT US
At SJS Studios we help our clients envision and achieve a better place to experience life. With each project, we craft an innovative design solution that is not only functional, but that is inspiring, memorable and supports the occupant’s well-being.
There are many layers to each project, and we ensure that they are well composed and coordinated. Throughout the process, we are thoughtful to budget and schedule and we tailor our services and designs to ensure we meet the client’s strategic goals. We foster a collaborative design process, in which we listen and work closely with our clients to understand their perspective and vision to help create a space that is uniquely their own. To ensure that each project is functional far into the future, we plan for flexibility to accommodate changes. We integrate the principles of sustainability, green and well building best practices on every project as we believe these features are intrinsic to good design.
SJS Studios ensures that each client receives hands on leadership attention to ensure each project is delivered at the highest level of quality. Clients can expect the same support that is provided by large firms, but with the personal attention and responsiveness of a boutique firm. We are true advocates for our clients throughout the process and we believe each project is a chance to build a long-term relationship.
