The Firm

A single firm for the entire built environment.

STJ Initial Design, Inc. is a full-service interior architecture, design and construction firm serving residential and commercial clients across Miami and South Florida. We take a project from the initial vision and space planning through design development, construction and permit documentation, professional coordination and project execution.

Our work is architectural in its thinking and editorial in its finish — considered plans, disciplined detailing, and material palettes built to last. Complete transformations are coordinated with qualified and appropriately licensed architecture, engineering and construction professionals as each project requires.

About the firm
Design Studio

Design with vision. Build with confidence.

At STJ Initial Design, we transform ideas into thoughtfully designed spaces through architectural design, interior design, space planning, floor plans, and 3-D visualization.

See your vision before you build it.

Design + Build

One vision. One team.
One complete experience.

Rather than coordinating designers, draftsmen, expeditors and contractors yourself, STJ organizes design, documentation, professional coordination and construction through one company — one point of accountability from first sketch to final walk- through.
