What's NEW at JLim Designs?

I am working as a designer with our neighborhood volunteer team to build our own parklets.  

 

Parklets are parking spaces and dead spaces on main streets that are converted into seating areas and small parks for public use.

 

The parklet movement is well established in San Francisco and New York.  You can google to find out more.

I am also starting several paintings inspired by Cirque de Soleil.

Welcome to JLim Designs and Garden Hortica

Welcome.  JLim Designs is about interior design and Garden Hortica is about landscape design.  We do both residential and commercial spaces.  Our design approach has a very strong contemporary Asian and minimalist aesthetic.

 

In interior design, whether for kitchens, bathrooms or other living spaces we are eclectic.  We use different materials, old stuff, new tech stuff and our own custom designs for furnishings, cabinetry and accessories.

 

In landscape design, we utilize lots of natural materials for hardscape surfaces together with sculptural stones and wood. Preview the different pages, be inspired and call us to realize the interior or landscape design you want.

What makes our designs different

For interior spaces we design projecting what YOU are about, your personality, your family and your lifestyle.  So often we hear the statement 'that is so you.'  That's what we aspire to bring in our design work. 

 

Any garden should be an extension of indoor living space.  It should also be a gathering place as well as a quiet space...a sanctuary perhaps...a place to get away for some peaceful time with nature.  A gathering space with friends and loved ones.  That is what we create.

 

We aim for the unusual.  Something different.  Not repetitive.  Different and yet appeal to your lifestyle and sensibilities.

 

We are hands on.  Designing on paper is the easy part.  You have to be hands on...how else can you feel and sense that this is the spot for the right object facing at the right direction.

Who we are

Two pasionate designers with projects in the SF-Bay area and other places near and far away.

 

Award winner at two San Francisco Flower and Garden Shows. 

 

We dont take the pedestrian approach to interior and landscape design.  Neither do we design way off the conventional. 

 

In a nut shell...we design what we ourselves would like to have...style, function, form, utility and within a sane budget!

What we offer

 

We design for both residential and commercial spaces. 

 

While we have a preferred list of vendors for objects, accessories, furnishings, materials and plants, we also carry our own inventory.

 

We go on buying trips to Asia to hunt and gather furnishings, accessories, landscape materials, garden objects, garden art, clay planters and other unique stuff we feel will look great in our interior and landscape designs. 

 

Go to Unique Stuff to see what we mean.

How we work

 

Our design and installation fees are reasonable.  Depending on where you are geographically we charge a fee for a first site visit.

 

Here we discuss ideas and get feedback from you.  Should you like our initial ideas then we proceed with designing, sketching and laying out a design together with a budget.

 

Should you just want the design and not have us install we will only bill you for the design fee.

 

The design fee is credited towards the total design and installation if we do the installation.  We encourage you to have us install because we can relate to the 'artistic' issues of our design.
