Common to each of our commissions is a relentless pursuit to understand our client's goals, the site opportunities that make each project unique and the technical challenges inherent in architecture. Our studio engages in projects of all scales ranging from the detailing of a child's preschool cubby to the site planning of a 25 acre urban industrial complex.
We provide sensitive design approaches to sites as diverse as a wooded island site in the Pacific Northwest, to the renovation of a historic building in San Francisco's Chinatown, to the master planning of urban industrial sites. Our projects seek to engage and improve how the built environment supports living-at work, at home, or in the community-with creative and beautiful solutions to complex challenges.

Solving complex problems with creative solutions is our passion. Good design starts with listening to our clients in order to gain an understanding of our client's needs, desires, constraints and opportunities. Our process also focuses on how our projects will affect the physical environment at large.
What would we have done without Jackson Liles Architecture? Truth be told, we'd rather not answer that question because Julie and Jacqueline were truly indispensable in making our dream a reality. They don't just pay attention to details. They're obsessed with them - so much so, that they repeatedly went above and beyond the traditional scope of an architectural firm to ensure the project met their quality standards.
San Francisco's Chinatown is the bustling, vibrant center of Chinese American culture in San Francisco; the challenge for our studio was to infuse the interior design of the historic Chinatown YMCA's expanded facility with this vibrant and energetic spirit.
Our studio worked in close collaboration within the context of a larger project team and the YMCA's leadership to provide a distinctive identity for the interior design of the project, centered on providing a strong design concept focusing on the colors, patterns, and textural variations strongly represented throughout the neighborhood.

Through community collaboration, our studio repurposed a historic, yet formerly derelict and abandoned, structure into a place of warmth, growth, and community-a preschool. By renovating and expanding this historic structure to create spaces focused on imagination, creating and making, the design becomes a frame for the children to explore and grow.
Completed in 2020, this new two story, 36,000 SF industrial kitchen facility located in the Bayview District provides a high-profile identity for Meals on Wheels San Francisco.
Challenged by an oddly shaped roughly triangular site and the requirement to accommodate an active loading dock, a designated pedestrian entry and delivery van loading zones all safely within a tight urban footprint, JLA designed the building siting and massing to gracefully and safely accommodate these disparate functions.
