Designing for better communities
Our architects and designers are passionate about combining function and beauty with an eye on long-term sustainability and building better communities.
In addition to design for new construction, we also specialize in historic renovation. Bringing redevelopment ideas for urban cores and finding new ways for architectural and urban design to enhance the surrounding cities and regions ensure that history is both preserved and ready for the future.
Through sustainable and LEED-certified designs that are fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the JAI team celebrates environmental responsibility and inclusiveness in design.
