Jorge Almaz¨¢n Architects is an architecture and urban design practice committed to create environmentally responsible and socially inclusive spaces. Based in Tokyo, and with projects in Japan and Spain, we find constant sources of inspiration in the Japanese material sensitivity and in the Mediterranean urban liveliness. Our practice is translocal: We believe in the international transferring of ideas, and in the critical distance afforded by a foreign gaze, but at the same time we always commit to the local materiality and spatial practices of each context

Jose Luis Mu?oz runs since 2004 his own architecture studio in the south of Spain (Granada and M¨¢laga) where he develops, with equal intensity and enthusiasm, a wide range of edification types and scales, interior design and urbanism. His construction projects spread over multiple locations of Eastern Andalusia

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.
