We built our reputation with our hands-on artistic approach,

unwavering attention to detail, and exceptional customer service.

John Stewart Studios is a full-service boutique design studio

specializing in exquisite residential, commercial and hospitality design.  

Our projects range from custom homes, retail and commercial office

spaces, to hotels and resorts - locally and internationally.

We work with owners and developers to create cohesive design packages. 

 

Philosophy

The foundation of our approach for each project is based on the core belief that architecture is the highest form of art. As artists and designers, it is our responsibility to interpret the desires of our clients by creating extraordinary environments that beautifully balance the elements of form and function in a timeless space. We do not limit ourselves to specific styles or design trends. Just as each client is unique, so are their projects...we always begin the design process with a blank sketchbook and an open mind.

With many years experience in all facets of project planning, interfacing with various community, government, and building agencies, as well as general and sub-contractors, we assist in expediting the approval and construction process. We have collaborated with several highly acclaimed architectural and engineering firms, including: Joseph Wong Design Associates, T.Y. Lin International, WATG Wimberly, Allison, Tong & Goo,

the late William Hughes and Randell Makinson, AIA, Director of the Gamble House in Pasadena, CA.
