WHAT WE CARE ABOUT:
Values dictate actions. Actions determine progress.

At JGMA we pride ourselves on our consistent attention to social responsibility, environmental stewardship, contextual interaction, artistic expression, and technical detail. With this in mind we are committed to formulate consistently unique solutions to every design opportunity we encounter. Our core values are essential to our designs. We believe that everyone can benefit from, and deserves well designed architecture. Regardless of budget constraints, we believe that quality architecture should be available to everyone. In addition to our social agenda, we also consider the role we play as architects and the effects our actions have on the environment. In every project we take on, we strive for solutions with the least impact with regards to resource and energy consumption.

Organization is synergy.

We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach to practicing architecture. We distinguish structure from hierarchy. All responsibilities are equally important and are mutual among team members. As designers, we believe that talents can be shared and skills can be learned. The collaborative approach often extends beyond our team when we join forces with experts in other disciplines, including engineers, artists, ecologists, and many others; thereby increasing our knowledge base and solidifying our position as leaders in the field of design. We are constantly cultivating our conception of what "architecture" is. As we embark on new endeavors with new clients, we strive for efficiency, beauty, and innovation as a means to define our success in every project with which we are involved.

Design problems become design opportunities.

We strongly believe that every project is unique. Our process begins with a thorough analysis in order to identify the multiplicity of constraints existing in every project. We invariably distinguish constraints as opportunities; this design approach yields consistently diverse results. With this belief we are constantly challenged to develop efficient, sensitive and innovative designs. Currently, we are focused on a range of projects including: Architecture, Urban Design, Interiors, Sustainable Consulting, Furniture/Product Design and Branding/Graphics.
