"Sustainability is a shared pursuit we believe in reactivating spaces, engaging communities, and designing with purpose to create lasting impact."

At JMA, we understand the impact a building can have on the surrounding community. Our extensive experience in the restoration and design of buildings such as churches and care centres enables us to develop projects that become key cornerstones of the local community. We pride ourselves in our unique method which stimulates innovative design, and always seeks to add benefits through education, economic growth, cultural activity, or greater community coherence.

We believe that an integrated approach is needed for any place to fulfil its potential. We bring in expertise to analyse the community need and consider where there is opportunity for economic sustainability in community projects. We partner with a range of urban managers, project designers, quantity surveyors, heritage consultants to ensure that everything is completed to the highest of standards.  We are experienced in navigating complex ownership structures where there are multiple stakeholders involved.

Sustainability is more than just a technological challenge. By engaging a broad community in a frank and open conversation from the outset of a project, we can work to ensure that our proposals are needed, useful and proportionate. Throughout the design, procurement and delivery stages, we look for opportunities to re-activate existing spaces, use reclaimed or surplus materials and tap into local supply networks. Looking ahead we are researching how the spaces we design and the strategies we develop can accommodate change, through flexible design strategies to demountable construction techniques. Sustainability is a shared pursuit and we hope to inspire others through our work.
