Testimonials

"Justin and his team at StudioJLA exceeded our expectations with their design and also project management. We cannot thank StudioJLA enough for building our dream family house whilst taking all the care and time to ensure every little detail was cared for. They made the journey of building a house, with heritage limitations as easy as it could be whilst providing vital input to create what we could imagine yet could not describe. From the very beginning in designing the house, to every little detail such as handles, tiles and joinery, we could not have even imagined how amazing everything came together. We now have our forever family home! We highly recommend Justin and his team at StudioJLA to anyone who wants to build their dream house, especially if you can appreciate someone that can create an amazing architecturally designed house and also make it practical for family living."

Chris & Salina - Queens Park House

"My wife and I have engaged Justin and his team to design our new home, I have personally worked with numerous other architecture firms in the past but after our initial consultation with Justin the decision to choose JLA was made very simple. After several subsequent meetings, our expectations were not only met but exceeded, the absolute detail and consideration of not only the needs of my wife and I but that of our extended family surpassed all our expectations.

The team at JLA have loads of resourcefulness, energy, passion, skills, persistence and most importantly humility."

Very satisfying experience and thank you.

John - Hunters Hill House

“We engaged Justin and his team at studioJLA when we decided that our quaint Californian Bungalow needs to be expanded to cater for our growing family. Our brief was we wanted to maintain a consistent look with the area by preserving the front of the house, maximise usage of the land as we had an irregular shaped land and deliver a home that is practical and spacious for a family. With both of us working full time and this being our first home extension, we also enlisted Justin’s help to manage the project and left a lot of the design and fixture choices to him. It was fantastic for us to have someone with such experience, attention to detail and understanding of our needs to oversee our home transformation.”

“I had a great experience with Justin who took the time to understand how we would use the property and designed a house that is both functional and beautiful. Justin added value at every stage of the process and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.”

David - Drummoyne Penthouse Development

“I have known Justin Loe from studioJLA for more than eight years. He has helped me with many of my projects, either a house or an apartment I found that studi0JLA was very professional, inventive, helpful and insightful. They strive for more than architectural design. This includes sustainability, form, balance and quality workmanship. I was impressed after each initial consultation with my various projects, how he catered to my needs, specifications and most of all budgets. I have recommended him to several friends and they were delighted with their finished home. Initial ideas evolved into a better home with Justin’s recommendations and expertise. I would continue using studioJLA for any of my future projects. ” 

Jonas - Chatswood Penthouse

“StudioJLA designed and managed the major renovation of our home. Early on with the project, we felt they completely understood what we wanted, and we were confident in leaving it in their hands. The result is a home that we love, modern yet warm, that not only met but exceeded our expectations. Professional, efficient and oozing with talent, we would not hesitate to use studioJLA if we ever have to renovate or build again. “

“I was originally referred to Justin (StudioJLA) from a friend and was immediately impressed during our first meeting by his previous portfolio and his creativity and detail. He was frank with his thoughts, expectations, and was willing to work within our budget. The way he described both his working style and his design style were spot on to what we got so there weren’t a lot of surprises there. We hired Justin to do a half tear down and rebuild of our 100 year old worker’s cottage in Balmain and we also ended up gutting most of the house. We had studioJLA not only design the place, but also project manage it through the tender, construction documentation and build. StudioJLA did a fantastic job choosing strong builders to tender and also had to deal with a section 96 to modify our DA, what impressed me was Justin’s continuous attention and thinking he put to our project. Every week during our site meetings, as the shape of the house unfolded, Justin would have great ideas how we could tweak or change certain pieces to improve on the design. He would also call me when he was at home shows or shops where he thought I may find something interesting or want to include in the house. I’d highly recommend his team, we are certain he created value from our renovation and most important, have been told by the bank that are increase in valuation of our home is higher than the amount we spent.”

“My wife and I are extremely pleased with the work that Justin and his team have done for us. From the early design work it was clear that we had found a professional who was able to bring flair and pragmatism to the fore, while listening to what we wanted as clients. The design we landed with was the perfect blend of our own personalities enhanced by some really imaginative and creative advice. Our home is open, bright and thermally efficient. It suits the simple needs of modern family life, yet is a pleasure to present to guests as a polished entertainer. Justin has worked closely with our builder to deliver a home that has preserved the elements that we have always loved, and created spaces that my family will enjoy for decades to come. We are very happy with the result “

David & Samantha - Gladesville House

“Having completed 3 renovation projects in the last 3 years, my husband and I are both quite particular with what we were wanting for our own home, yet Justin took the time to go through the hundreds of photos we collected and go through our brief to present us with a design and 3D model that was even beyond our expectations. We loved that he knew how to best maximise the land, the North aspect and provide my family with large open plan entertaining areas, which is what we love!”

“Justin from Studio JLA designed our new home in the Hills Shire and managed the entire construction process and we are really pleased with the results. Our block is on a slope with an unconventional shape but Justin utilised his artistic flare to come up with a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical for day-to-day living. The open plan design on the ground floor allows plenty of natural night into the living/dining area, as well as good ventilation in the dinner heat. The high ceiling on the second floor and full height windows offer fantastic views from all the rooms including the Master bedroom. The floor plan for the alfresco and spa area is cleverly designed to accommodate large group of friends or family for social gathering. We love the landscaping as it is simplistic yet effective in lifting the overall appearance of the front porch as well as backyard area. Justin and his team are extremely dedicated and professional during the entire project – we would highly recommend them to anyone who is planning to a build a unique and practical home to live in.“

Bernard & Kathy - Castle Hill House

“We finished our house renovation and extension with Justin and his team in 2019. Justin’s architectural designs are aesthetic and practical, taking into account the location and natural lighting, successfully blending our home’s period features with a modern light filled extension. The teams he works with are helpful and professional. The builder (Erik) and his team were excellent and executed our vision for our home very well. As with any home renovation, the process can get complicated and unexpected things will occur from time to time. Dealing with the council, suppliers, tradespeople and neighbours also have their challenges. As a client, whilst it’s always a good idea to spend plenty of time planning out the details and have a clear and realistic idea of what you want, having Justin to guide the project from start to finish was invaluable. ”

Shawn & Connie - Epping House

“I would have no hesitation in recommending Justin Loe to anyone contemplating building a new home or renovating an existing one. He has an ability to engage highly credentialed tradespeople plus a talent for colour coordination and detail. ”
