JA Projects

JA Projects is an architecture practice based in London that operates at the intersection of architecture, urban strategy, art, and performance. We are passionate about the projects we undertake and deeply care about the places and contexts in which we work.

Our projects embody a harmonious blend of playfulness and precision, combining a creative and often ephemeral social and performative aspect with a tangible built component.

For every project, we embrace a narrative-rich and conceptually rigorous process that harnesses the power of human experience, insight, innovation, technology, and craftsmanship.

In essence, we are intrigued by the constructed environments of the world and their interaction with society. As a result, we deliver projects that make both social and spatial interventions, ranging from small temporary events to large permanent buildings and even broader urban strategies.

Founded by Jayden Ali, JA Projects is deeply rooted in London and operates within the realms of architecture, urban strategy, art, and performance. We choose to work in culturally vibrant spaces, engaging with projects that resonate with our passions and interests. Our approach to architecture and city-making mirrors our social values, aiming for diversity, supportiveness, and enrichment in the places we create.

Our work strikes a balance between playfulness and precision, guided by a design ethos grounded in observation, participation, and collaborative design. Our ultimate goal is to weave beautiful narratives and deliver captivating projects that reflect the needs and aspirations of the people they serve.

From groundbreaking exhibitions and low-carbon buildings to pioneering urban strategies, our projects make social and spatial interventions, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world.

Committed to an equitable and sustainable future, we acknowledge the urgency of decarbonizing and decolonizing our industry. We strive to respond to the social and environmental challenges that our cities and planet face. Sustainability, for us, encompasses both the environmental and social aspects. By nurturing equitable and caring places, we believe we can deliver resilient projects that have a light yet confident footprint in the future.

JA Projects approaches these interconnected conditions with sensitivity, creativity, and innovation, integrating sustainable design, equality, and social justice into the delivery of resilient projects that prioritize the well-being of communities and the environment. We aim to set a standard for equitable, just, and ecological modes of practice.
