JCJ Architecture is a diverse planning, architecture, and interior design practice that offers comprehensive services to clients in the public and private sector. With a rich history dating back to 1936, the firm has evolved through generations of leadership, maintaining a commitment to client service and the practice of comprehensive planning, architecture, and interior design services. JCJ Architecture’s engaged design process emphasizes active and alert advocacy, balancing owner/client goals, functional objectives, and physical context to manifest project qualities into built form.
The firm’s portfolio showcases expertise in two main categories: commercial (gaming, entertainment, hospitality, hotel, retail, workplace) and institutional (K12 education, higher education, civic, community, arts & culture, public safety/justice). JCJ Architecture’s mission is to provide design solutions that enhance the built environment, enrich people’s lives, and help organizations succeed. Core competencies such as adaptability, growth, integrity, and collaboration drive the firm’s approach to design, while a focus on advocacy and involvement in local and national design dialogues underscores their commitment to the wider conversation about design, stewardship, and place-making.
With offices in multiple cities across the United States and a team of employee-owners who leverage their collective expertise and energy, JCJ Architecture is positioned as a leading player in the architecture industry. The firm’s transition to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) in 2012 has fostered a culture of collaboration and creativity, ensuring that each employee-owner understands the impact of their work on clients and their constituents. By actively participating in organizations like the American Institute of Architecture and contributing to initiatives such as Construction in Indian Country and the ACE Mentor Program, JCJ Architecture remains at the forefront of design innovation and community engagement.
