WELCOME TO JFA Our mission is to take a client’s dream, to draw it into a vision, and then turn it into a magnificent reality. We see the JFA role as one in which our architecture is the process of contributing livable and workable art to the environment. In our own way, to better the human condition. To give each project its own personality. We use nature as our muse and look to create environments that provide shelter and comfort without the sense of barriers; taking advantage of the provided space and proportion to design structures that feel native in their surroundings. At times our task is to transcend complexity into an expression of graceful simplicity. We strive to create buildings where the prose of design and the poetry of materials used communicates the language of life and ignites inspiration for those who work in, live in, visit or view any of our creative expressions.
