JUSTUS STUDIO IS A CREATIVE PRACTICE ROOTED IN ARCHITECTURE AND ART.
AFTER FOUR COMBINED DECADES OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE WORKING FOR LEADING ARCHITECTURE FIRMS, JOSEPH AND JOHN JUSTUS ESTABLISHED JUSTUS STUDIO IN 2018.
WE ARE DRIVEN BY A CONVICTION THAT DESIGN IS ESSENTIALLY ARTISTIC AND COLLABORATIVE. OUR APPROACH TO DESIGN CONSIDERS THE WAY LIFE EXPERIENCES PULL AND TUG AND OUR FOCUS IS WORKING WITH CLIENTS WHO SHARE OUR ENTHUSIASM FOR ENGAGING THE DESIGN PROCESS AS A CREATIVE AND SHARED ENDEAVOR. WE ARE SEARCHING FOR THE NOW AND TOMORROW.
