Jason Armstead of Studio Loci took the idea we had for a 'whole wall' set of bookshelves and came up with a design that exactly suited the space. He thought of beautiful details that improved the basic thing we had in mind and gave the finished units a clean and stylish look. The construction was absolutely sound and Jason fitted the shelves himself so the job was exceptionally well-done from start to end.

Very happy customer. Studio Loci did a fantastic job on all my projects. Whole process from design to delivery was seamless, enjoyable, on time and on budget. The quality of the joinery and finish is perfect (even to my wife's critical eye). The attention to detail is second to none. I'll never know how he managed to get such a perfect fit for the turntable desk on my very wonky Victorian walls. It truly did fit with snug Mercedes Benz like precision. Jason is a fine craftsman, based on the quality of work I subsequently commissioned a pair of wardrobes & refit of our bathroom. I will probably never go anywhere else.

When we wanted a floating oak staircase in an awkward space, we could not find anyone to take it on, until our neighbour recommended Loci. They not only completed the stairs on time and within a fair budget, they went above and beyond to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Jason is a creative craftsman with a strong sense of design and the place where his work is to go. He uses quality materials and is thorough and conscientious. We have been absolutely delighted with the way he has added to our living space in a modern minimalist home; the commitment and patience he brought to the work; and its keen pricing.
