Celebrating 25 Years of Integrated by Design! Would you look at that! This September, LJC celebrated a quarter-century of being Integrated by Design. We are proud of the multidisciplinary practice we’ve built, rooted in architecture, interior design, engineering, and landscape architecture, driven by collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to design excellence. Reflecting on our journey of growth in all areas of our firm gives us a deep appreciation for the dedication of the people that make up LJC. It’s no coincidence that, through our resolute determination to find the best and brightest in the industry—spanning urban planning, design, sustainability, and engineering—our team has grown. In the past few years, we’ve expanded our footprint with new offices across the country, building new relationships with the communities we work in.  As we move into the next 25 years, we want to say “thank you” to our employees, partners, clients, and communities for helping us build such an incredible foundation. We are proud of the impactful projects we have created together and look forward to what we will design next.

Adaptive reuse plays a critical role in creating sustainable, vibrant communities by transforming underutilized spaces into dynamic, functional environments. At LJC, we use this approach to breathe new life into historic buildings while maintaining their unique character. This strategy has the added environmental benefit of curtailing demolition waste and preserving the embodied carbon of existing structures. Our projects, like The LaSalle Residences, featured in National Association of REALTORS® article "Turning Workplaces into Showplaces", embodies this philosophy by converting former office spaces into residential and mixed-use developments that meet modern needs.
