Residential design · Jerry Lee Johnson

A home,
entirely
yours.

Thoughtfully designed around the way you live.

A stone residence with a slate roof, generous windows, and a terrace opening onto a sweeping lawn — Distinctive homes. Deeply personal.JLJ Design Studio

The way a home feels

Your own private retreat.
Every day.

A natural flow from room to room. Windows that invite the light. Living spaces that open to the outdoors. Jerry creates homes around the people who live in them—with the comfort and ease of a private resort.

The studio

A lifetime of design.
A personal point of view.

Jerry Lee Johnson brings decades of experience designing multimillion-dollar homes to JLJ Design Studio. His work grew through Caperton/Johnson, the Dallas design practice he shared with Don Caperton.

Today, the approach remains personal: understand how a family lives, then give that life room to unfold.

“As a claustrophobic person, I always try to put in a lot of windows.”Jerry Lee Johnson

A project close to home

The Tonkawa depot.

The yellow Tonkawa railway depot with dark green trim and a brick approach — Tonkawa, Oklahoma

In his hometown of Tonkawa, Oklahoma, Jerry spent years reimagining the historic depot, incorporating a vintage rail car. A personal contribution to a place that shaped him.
