A young, bold & ambitious design-led architect studio operating across Greater London and Kent: Elevating those moments that really count.
Our first love is private, high-end residential refurbishments & new builds with plenty of proven past experience taking on smaller to mid-range culturally & commercially significant projects. We address each project with a client focussed & collaborative mind, a dedication to conservation, craftsmanship, grounded materials & thoughtful detailing.
“Greg's passion for capturing different 'moments' within the design really resonated with our vision. It was a tired house that had been rented and uncared for many years, so it really needed some love to bring the space back to life and make it suitable for modern living. Both being designers, we had strong opinions on what we wanted, but lacked the building knowledge to bring it to life. Greg will give you so much more than a standard architect or design and build company. He is collaborative, passionate, and excited to do things a bit differently to other people. He's definitely a good choice if you are looking for more than just a box on the back of your house!”

“We knew from the start that we didn’t want a standard big box-style extension. Just as we were keen to get different ideas and thoughts, Greg really listened to ours. It mattered to him that he understood what made us happy and how we wanted to our home to look and feel. Greg’s professionalism and input throughout was second to none, across both the finer details as well as the bigger design points. His dedication and commitment to the project despite some unexpected challenges really stood out; he was responsive, helpful and went the extra mile, he clearly cares, a lot, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.”

“Greg is a great architect with fabulous taste, urban flare, and vision. Great at maximising opportunities his design ideas were all fantastic, from structural suggestions like lifting the ceiling in the spare room and exposing the rafters in the bathroom to big windows and pushing us to clad the downstairs, he knows the small things will make a big difference in the long run. He went out of his way to support me in making internal design/interior decisions, which went way beyond scope and on top of this he’s a great communicator; he was true to his word and really quick at getting back to us on everything.”

“We were lucky enough to have Greg help us with the design and planning for our side return. We found him very professional, creative and more importantly gave us practical advice about what could be achieved. He kept the project moving along at a speed we were comfortable with, always checking to make sure we were happy as we progressed. I have no hesitation in recommending JAA to anyone.”

“We worked with Greg for our ground floor extension project in Walthamstow. He took the time to really get to know us and the needs of our little family, and helped us design a space which is both exactly suited to us but also feels unique and architectural and different to every other Victorian terrace layout that you see. Two years on we’re still delighted with the results, and if anything it just keeps getting better and better as we settle more into it.”
