Designing Homes That Honor Heritage, Embrace Modern Living, and Celebrate the Unique Spirit of Place
Services
Rooted in Place | Defined for Life
JAD Design Services is a full-service architectural design studio serving clients throughout Hawai‘i, Arizona, and Florida. We specialize in thoughtful, regionally grounded residential design that honors cultural heritage, embraces natural environments, and reflects the evolving needs of modern living.
Our work is shaped by deep respect—for the history of the land, the people who call it home, and the architectural traditions that have come before. With a strong foundation in the study of existing and historic structures, we design new spaces that feel timeless—seamlessly integrating past and present in a way that’s both functional and meaningful.
Design that Reflects and Responds
We tailor each project to the unique characteristics of the region:
-
In Hawai‘i, our designs draw inspiration from the islands’ deep cultural roots, prioritizing indoor-outdoor living, cross-ventilation, and environmental stewardship. We honor the spirit of the land by designing in harmony with it.
-
In Arizona, we embrace the drama of the desert—creating energy-efficient homes that balance shade and sun, respond to climate, and nestle naturally into the rugged terrain.
-
In Florida, we focus on resilient coastal design. Our work balances beauty and durability, incorporating hurricane-resistant strategies and flexible layouts that support both daily life and storm preparedness.
Architecture for the Way We Live Now
Homes today do more than ever—so should the architecture behind them. Our designs support:
-
Work-life balance, with adaptable spaces for remote work and retreat.
-
Outdoor connection, with lanai, gardens, and shaded courtyards that extend daily living into nature.
-
Multigenerational living, with thoughtful layouts that support family connection while honoring privacy.
-
Sustainable solutions, tailored to regional climates, site conditions, and long-term resilience.
A Collaborative, Educational Process
At JAD Design Services, we don’t just design homes—we guide our clients through the process. We believe that great architecture is a conversation, and we take pride in educating and empowering clients every step of the way. From explaining design decisions to navigating permitting and construction, we ensure the journey is as rewarding as the result.
Our Mission
We design with intention: to honor the past, enrich the present, and shape the future. Whether crafting a new home from the ground up or weaving new life into an existing structure, our work reflects the values, stories, and aspirations of the people we serve.
Let’s build something meaningful—together.
