Architecture first
We begin with the complete setting: age, proportion, daylight, circulation, exposure and the elements worth retaining.
About L&J
The calm behind complex work.
Design judgement, bench skill and clear communication brought together so every decision belongs to one coherent scheme.
Our approach
The building leads. The detail follows.
Details resolved
Sections, samples, glass, hardware and finish are considered before the workshop commits material.
One connected process
Information follows the piece from the first conversation through making and the agreed site scope.
Read before drawing
New work should look as though the building asked for it.
Original fabric, neighbouring details and the full elevation provide evidence. The brief then turns that evidence into joinery made for the way the property is used now.
One considered process
Clarity from first conversation to final fit.
Each stage answers a different question, but the decisions remain connected.
- 01
Listen
The building, the brief and the practical priorities are read together.
- 02
Resolve
Proportion, construction, glass, finish and hardware become one agreed design.
- 03
Make
Components move through preparation, jointing, dry assembly and careful bench work.
- 04
Finish
Colour, sheen and protection are treated as part of the joinery, not an afterthought.
- 05
Fit
Installation scope and handover are planned around the individual property.
