Design-sense with Business-sense.

OUR BELIEFS

At JLPD, we believe that organizational scale is not just about the size of your labor force. It’s about the breadth of your collaborative network and the depth of its organizational expertise.

At JLPD, we believe in forging strategic alliances that leverage unique expertise in finding solutions that can best respond to business, market and design challenges.

At JLPD, we visualize opportunities that can unlock a property’s intrinsic value. We believe that value is harnessed, deployed, and enhanced - rather than harvested - to create even more value in the long term.

We believe that business, community and environment are not mutually exclusive choices but rather the collective outcome of a sound plan.

OUR APPROACH

Macro to Micro Analysis

We look at a project at various levels and across multiple timelines. Because projects of scale take time to realize and have broader impacts, our view extends beyond the immediate and stretches into the enduringly and sustainably relevant.

Ideation and Refinement

Designs are honed and polished through an iterative process and feedback loops, testing them against project goals, user responsiveness, business feasibility and Client’s aspirations.

Exploration and Scenario Building

We enjoy testing several "what ifs" to arrive at possible strategies that generate the best value for the project. This allows informed decisions and calculated trade-offs early in the process.
