When we watch film or tv, we experience layers of light, color, tone, mood, and character. The frame limits what we know, and it can be revealed in a flash or slowly over time. Either way, it always serves a larger narrative.
These fundamentals of visual storytelling and in particular, Production Design, transport us to different times, realities, and dimensions. They are also unspoken elements of Architecture - how we feel about a building arguably matters more than how it’s put together.

Working across scale and traditional boundaries, JAJA strives to create architecture, landscape, and urban planning from a holistic perspective. We aim to make each intervention a distinct, yet natural part of its environment, to create a dialogue between the project and the inherent qualities of the location. We believe that projects with strong roots in their physical environment create greater experiences and added value, not only to the project but also to the surrounding community.
