Yugo Restaurant

Yugo on Main St embodies a fusion of Japanese and French cultures. This culinary marriage is reflected through the restaurant’s design.

The primary challenge was to seamlessly blend the distinct design elements of Japanese and French cultures. This included incorporating clean, straight lines of Japanese design using natural hemlock wood native to Canada, while also infusing French elements such as herringbone tile, brick, and marbled quartz. Achieving a balance and cohesive look between these two cultural aesthetics presented a unique design challenge.

We have enjoyed working as consultants on projects led by JDG. The JDG team are professional in their dedication to every project. Ruth is a great designer and leader to work with.
Western Element Engineering
I've had the pleasure to work with Ruth and the JDG Team on a couple projects now. They are very responsive and their work is really well done. There drawings are some of the most detailed drawings I've seen, this helps to ensure the design vision is brought to life through the Construction phase. They bring a fun and energetic flare to their projects. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to working with the JDG Team on many more projects.
Jesse Pauls
We have worked with the team at Janks Design on numerous projects. Ruth and her team are very professional, and were a pleasure to work with. Their designs and drawings are very well detailed, which makes the construction process efficient, and results in a beautiful product. We would very much recommend JDG to any clients looking for a top notch design firm.
Aaron Christensen
I have collaborated with the team at Janks for two construction projects in the lower mainland region. On both occasions our client was presented with a clear design focus, a solid understanding of both our client's brand and expectations with a focus on detail and schedule. I can't tell you as a Project Manager how beneficial it is to work with a team that listens, responds promptly and never makes the same mistake twice. I hope I can continue to work with Janks again in the future.
Chris Althorp
Ruth and the entire Janks design team are a pleasure to work with. She has designed two indoor cycling locations for us and did an amazing job. She gets what her clients are looking for in terms of overall look and vibe and creates something that works for the business type and space. Amazing attention to detail !!

We are thrilled with the final result. We specifically sought out a design group that we felt confident could bring our vision of a modern, inviting, and fresh space for our new concept of an ice cream store and JDG did not disappoint. We have received tremendous feedback and compliments on our space. Thank you to Ruth and everyone on the team for a job well done!
Dandy's Artisan ice Cream
I have worked with Ruth and her team on many different projects. Each with its own levels of difficulty that have been completed in a timely, constructive and professional manner. It has been a pleasure working with her team to the point where I have recommend her services confidently to others requiring design service.
Mike Benedictson
Janks Design Group has proven to be an excellent fit for us. We get the owner, Ruth's, deep knowledge and experience in the industry combined with the breadth of the small team she's assembled. We plan to use JDG for all future projects.
Benjamin Ernst
We hired JDG part way through the construction of our home to assist with all the various design issues and specifications. Despite the challenges of picking up a project halfway, Ruth, Carla and the team were very efficient and extremely helpful in getting us through all the various design decisions and expediting our project. They were very professional and thorough during the whole process. We are very happy with their work and would not hesitate to use them again. I recommend them highly to our families and friends. Thank you, JDG!

I am an architect with several decades of practice, and throughout these many years I had the opportunity to interact with many interior design firms, and the one that stands out the most in my mind is Janks Design Group. I would like to use a little of this platform to express my gratitude to have had the chance to work with them for over a decade now. I also wish to say how much I have appreciated the professionalism and creativity that has emanated from JDG all these years; and there is no doubt in my mind that this is the result of the excellent leadership skills of Ruth M. Jankelowitz, the principal "par excellence".

Spinhouse Cycling Studio
Ruth and the Janks Team are easy to work with, If your job needs detail they can assist you with the smallest details. The Janks Team provided good elements of creativity to our very standard design parameters for Orange Julius - Dairy Queen Stores assisting us with elevating our stores to a high level of finish and appearance. Our new Stores that Janks Design assisted with were described by our customers as Refreshing, Clean, Modern, Bright a place that I would like to eat When we re-opened them. All positive comments for the Janks Team.
Dave Vaillancourt
We loved working with Ruth and team! They are creative, efficient and on trend and really understood our vision of a minimalist Scandi inspired restaurant.
Barbora Farkasova
Ruth and her team have just finished work on our space for our brand new business, Dandy's Artisan Ice Cream, and we are thrilled with the final result. We specifically sought out a design group that we felt confident could bring our vision of a modern, inviting, and fresh space for our new concept of an ice cream store and Janks did not disappoint. We have only just recently opened but have already received tremendous feedback and compliments on how nice our space turned out. Thank you to Ruth and everyone on the team at Janks for a job well done!
Rob Mintenko
JDG worked with us to design a renovation of our modest office space as our organization inherited a very dated and dysfunctional suite. The team came up with excellent alternative solutions to maximize our space utilization and preserve flexibility for the future, and to create a bright, functional, and attractive design. They worked with us to source furnishings and finishes and coordinated with the contractor and other vendors throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with Ruth and the team.
