Good design cultivates memories and we keep this in mind for every project.
As designers, architects, and engineers we have a responsibility to deliver projects that are safe, highly functional, and beautiful; but they also can become something that transcends bricks and mortar. Our projects have ranged in size from smaller commercial remodels to large & complex multi-use facilities. Although our expertise is diverse, we focus on these project types:
"From the great architects at JLA to our contractors, the work and communication has been fantastic. Working with professionals who take care in their work and strive for better is always a joy. Everybody who sees our new building is impressed and seems to love the design and we are so very happy; you guys did a great job."
Nathan LeinweberPartner, The Brickyard Inc."I wanted to reach out and say thank you for being such a great architect to work with on the Grandview project and all of the projects that we have done in the past. It's really refreshing to have someone who is so in tune with what is going on with a project and can give us real-time feedback."
Nic SellCommercial HVAC Design Engineer, Dave Jones Inc.“The JLA team was good to work with — One of the smoothest hotels to build from start to finish."
Les KinsethDeveloper, Kinseth Hospitality“It has been a great experience working with JLA. They are very thorough, professional, and well-spoken. They have been a huge asset on getting approvals thru the City process and we look forward to working with them more.”
Steve WoltersSenior VP, Miron ConstructionNow that Spring Harbor is open, each person I’ve encountered [from the City as well as elected officials] cannot thank our team enough for delivering what we promised and within the timeframe we presented. Thanks again!

Ed C.JLA Team Member Since 2013"I feel like I work ‘with people’, not ‘for people’ at JLA. There is a laid back, yet productive atmosphere. People can be themselves here."

Steve DoranGalway Companies"A work / life balance is really important to me and I really appreciate that good relationships are crucial to the culture of JLA including those with your colleagues, your consultants, your clients, and your community. "
Leah T.JLA Team Member Since 2012"At JLA, I'm loving my experience. At a smaller firm, you're more hands-on. You don't have as many people, so you're covering more aspects of the design, from sketching and schematics, all the way through construction documents."
Rafeeq A.JLA Team Member Since 2018We have been using JLA Architects for the past two years and have always been completely satisfied with their performance. They do excellent work, are always punctual, and offer the most competitive design.

Jeff ThorntonSun Prairie Youth Hockey Association“JLA has been a great partner on projects of all sizes. Their focus on the client and attention to listening to their needs sets them apart. They are a great collaborator during preconstruction and a pleasure to work with.”

William ArpeCEO, Fiduciary Real Estate Development Inc."I've worked with JLA on a number of different projects. They have an uncanny ability to understand what I'm looking for without multiple iterations. Their team has high standards and work to please; they're smart, resourceful, creative, and always exceed my expectations."
