The JDJ Architects team recently had a wonderful opportunity to step outside and enjoy the beautiful Chicagoland weather on a foraging tour at Bluestem Ecological Services. Bluestem, a sustainable company known for building, restoring, and maintaining native ecosystems, invited us to tour their offices and grounds. Special thanks to Sarah Voska for the invitation and the warm welcome at Bluestem. Sarah serves on the BOMA/Suburban Chicago Membership Committee along with our own Wilma Rendon, which made this connection possible. A highlight of the day was learning from professional forager Dave Odd of Odd Produce. Dave's knowledge of edible, medicinal, and cultural uses for local plants added an unexpected educational twist to our tour. Thank you, Bluestem Ecological Services, for an enlightening and enjoyable experience! https://bluestemeco.com/ https://lnkd.in/gduvu5nX #ForagingTour #BluestemEcologicalServices #TeamOuting

Over the years, we have been fortunate to evolve our portfolio into numerous industries, allowing us to learn about various work styles and develop spaces that meet the unique programs of each client. Regardless of project type, our team thrives on tailoring design solutions that respond to the brand work culture, user needs, and client budgets. We believe in creating solutions that aren't cookie-cutter but, rather, reflect the specific requirements and aspirations of the users. Whether it's designing medical offices; inspiring corporate workplaces for clients in industries including technology, law, accounting, consumer goods, logistics, not-for-profit, insurance, and R&D; vibrant fitness centers; much-needed outdoor amenities, or welcoming public lobbies, our approach remains centered on the user experience. We are grateful for the opportunities and long-lasting client relationships we have developed, including serving as landlord architect for various commercial buildings for over 20 years.

The JDJ Architects team had a fantastic time at NeoCon 2024 and Fulton Market Design Days last week. NeoCon is a cornerstone event for the commercial interior design industry, bringing together professionals from around the globe to share innovations and insights. Here are some highlights from our time there: ✨ We enjoyed Sally Augustin's session, "20 Things Neuroscientists Know That Designers Need to Know (And Don’t)" where we learned how neuroscientific insights can enhance real-world design decisions. 🎨 We loved catching up with friends at the Shaw Contract event at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. 🤝 We appreciated reconnecting with our valued clients! 🏢 We visited the J+J Flooring Showroom, which is always a fun and inspiring experience. NeoCon is an event we eagerly anticipate and thoroughly enjoy every year, and this one was no exception! #InteriorDesign #CommercialDesign #Networking #Inspiration #DesignInsights

At JDJ Architects, we're proud to work with forward-thinking clients who embrace the reuse-repurpose approach. One of our recent projects showcases how strategic space planning and interior architecture can transform vacant office spaces with minimal changes, enhancing brand awareness while significantly reducing costs. By repurposing existing office conditions, we’re able to meet the requirements of a new tenant, while also creating spaces that resonate with their brand. This approach is beneficial for tenants and building owners alike, proving that with creativity and strategic planning, even vacant office spaces can be revitalized into vibrant new work environments. #Architecture #OfficeSpace #Repurpose #InteriorArchitecture

Last week, Manish Shah attended the AMFP Chicago - Association of Medical Facility Professionals Chicago Chapter Special Event: "Changing the Way You Think About Paint." This session offered valuable insights into the unique paint options available and how to specify the right paint for each project. The course covered critical topics such as durability, cleanability, aesthetics, sustainability, and health impacts, ensuring that specifiers can make informed decisions to maximize their clients' return on investment.
