JAI partnered with a longtime client to design an executive lounge that elevates their corporate headquarters with a refined sense of comfort and hospitality.

The space blends function and luxury, featuring a catering kitchen, full bar, private bath, and a welcoming lounge designed for connection, conversation, and retreat.

From conceptual interior design through project management, our team helped shape an environment that balances modern sophistication with timeless detail. In collaboration with G&G Interiors, who curated the finishes and furnishings, and Jenkins & Stiles, whose craftsmanship brought the design to life, the result is a high-end space tailored for executive hospitality.

JAI was proud to partner with and the congregation of to reimagine the future of their campus through a comprehensive master planning process.

The recently completed phase focused on improving accessibility, functionality, and the overall worship experience. A new elevator tower now connects all three levels of the building, thoughtfully integrating with the church’s midcentury modern architecture while expanding gathering spaces on each floor. Restrooms on the lower and main levels were renovated to meet modern accessibility standards, and the sanctuary was refreshed with updated finishes and lighting.

The broader master plan establishes a clear roadmap for the campus, including a future accessible main-level entry, expanded congregation space, and a new 4,500-square-foot plaza designed to welcome both members and the surrounding community.
