Architecture

JPTA has amassed a portfolio of work that has successfully, time and again, integrated beautiful buildings and sites with their specific economic objectives. Whether it’s sustainability requirements, municipal submissions, spatial planning, or clever cost-saving solutions, our team is committed to providing innovative and progressive thinking, every step of the way.  We are in constant search for an original understanding of architecture – one that remains loyal to the spirit of the client and is steadfastly dedicated to uplifting the human experience. We are highly adept at all phases of project delivery including the preliminary design development, client engagement, coordination of consulting teams, construction documentation, bidding and contract administration.

Interior Architecture

JPTA is acutely aware of the need for buildings to express an interrelationship between inside and outside. The concept that a building’s exterior character must be intrinsically related to its interior sits at the core of our skill set and interest. We have created spaces for new corporate branding, provided acoustical and security control features, developed  multi-functional, contemporary office interiors, and new paradigms for learning spaces as part of our interior architecture services.

Sustainable Design

At JPTA, sustainability and green design are integral to our design philosophy and approach. Recently, we have completed the following sustainable design components on significant projects:

  • Brownfield Site adaptive reuse
  • Redensification of underutilized urban land
  • East-west building orientations to take advantage of the sun’s path
  • Storm management systems
  • North-lit galleries, providing ambient lighting to the building cores
  • Bio-filter walls, incorporating improved indoor air quality
  • Reflective roof membranes to reduce heat gain
  • End-user bicycle parking spaces and showers
  • Increased insulating components
  • Narrow building footprint to maximize light penetration and views
  • Park design

Feasibility and Master Planning

Over the past decade, JPTA has conducted numerous feasibility and master plans with representation across a variety of market sectors. Whether the task involves land acquisitions, operational concerns, or sequencing and phasing strategies,  JPTA has established itself as a guiding force in master planning. We understand scale, large and small, and place significant value on the smallest details. We strive to ensure clients have optimal flexibility, and that the end product enhances their business practices in a meaningful way.

Accessibility Design

JPTA considers designing for accessibility an important component of the overall success of any building project. The need for accessible environments requires careful thought, an understanding of the Ontario Building Code, and CSA Standard B651 for advanced parameters. In addition to this required knowledge, JPTA will also meet with a client’s Accessibility Committee to ensure that all aspects of their needs are observed, assessed, and incorporated into the project.
