Smart Thinking
A Different Approach
Building a functional, practical, cost-effective solution is essential, but so is building an emotional connection, so we focus not on the space itself, but on how people use it. We create spaces that adapt and breathe just like those within them. Spaces that are smart, in every sense.
Our approach starts with a conversation. We talk. We listen. And we respond to your needs, objectives, and desires.
Our teams’ experience and expertise ensures that the design solution not only surpasses your expectations, but also passes planning approval without a hitch.
We then collaborate, working with you as part of your team, to deliver your project on time and on budget.
A Different Approach
What's on the inside of a building is just as important as the outside. The most spectacular spaces are born from combining form and function. That's why we offer architecture and interior design, either as a full solution or as independent services.
We design and develop for a wide range of purposes, from traditional rural homes to modern inner city apartments, from hotels and restaurants to cinemas and motorway service stations.
We also harness modern construction techniques in an effort to ensure our developments take into account sustainability.
Regardless of the function, setting or scale of the project, the resulting JWA space will always be innovative, exciting, unique, and above all, smart.
Sustainability
Considering the environmental impact of a project is becoming increasingly important, not just for companies but for individuals. We consider it our responsibility to make our clients aware of the possibilities as well as ensuring our projects meet any necessary legislations or requirements.
With 10 years' experience working on highly successful sustainable projects, from zero carbon dwellings to passively ventilated large-scale public buildings, our solutions are always pragmatic and work to the lean-mean-clean principle.
Lean: Clever design with a focus on orientation, thermal massing, daylighting and no-cost options.
Mean: Ensuring the meanest possible design, starting with the minimal requirements of M&E or lighting and incorporating intelligent systems to optimise building management.
Clean: Educating building occupants in a green way and specifying renewable energy sources.
We understand the benefits and constraints of using new technologies and renewables, with many JWA projects featuring CHP, ground source heat pumps, photovoltaics, solar panels, grey water recycling, specialist glazing and other construction materials.
Our commitment
JWA has commissioned an extensive sustainability audit into our own business to identify what we can improve and what we need to change. Our aim is to achieve ISO 14001 to demonstrate our commitment to a sustainable lifestyle.
