J.L.S Design's approach to design is the optimization of structural, materialistic, programmatic, environmental, and social factors resulting in efficient solutions. A thorough knowledge of building systems allows for "executable" resolutions utilizing "off-the-shelf" materials and methods employed in new, innovative, and economical forms. For instance, features such as natural light and structure can coexist and even enhance one another if fused during conception. The common alternative is to "shoe-horn" the structure in after the fact.
