INNOVATION. COLLABORATION. DESIGN EXCELLENCE.

JLGA’s NYC-based architects and interior designers work collaboratively to give expression to each client’s vision through creative form, innovative materials, and sustainable design solutions.

We strive to create a responsive and dynamic interplay between the design of each project, its context, and the community of users it serves.

Our Design Philosophy

Our design philosophy lies at the heart of all the creative and innovative work we do:

  • We take inspiration from our client’s vision and mission
  • We never impose a “signature” design style upon our clients
  • Our design philosophy forms the cornerstone of our lasting client relationships
  • Our team embarks on a collaborative, responsive, and interactive process that sparks and shapes the initial design concepts through final design
  • Our design philosophy places sustainable design as an essential priority that adds value to each design
