We are about delivering
designs based on strategy,
creativity and collaboration.

The NJA Story

Nordon Jago approaches projects from architectural first principles—whether it’s a single house, a residential development, a hospital, a sports facility or a government office. Working broadly means we offer a unique response to every project, because we don’t risk falling into a pattern of work.

We believe that architecture is a process in which creativity cannot be divorced from the reality of engineering, approvals and construction. We have always worked with the latest technology to test our vision for its fit with real-world conditions.

Solving problems of all kinds and sizes in diverse areas promotes agility and versatility. We can move between strategising with a developer about council approval for 180 units, and solving the challenges of incorporating advanced medical equipment into the design for a hospital.

Our clients see that agility expressed in the creative thinking we apply to their projects, in the way our designs are paced to the evolving approvals landscape, and in the way their constructions proceed according to plan.

History

Founded in 1990, Nordon Jago Architects has grown to a team of approximately 25 selected for their ability to take a brief, think their way through a problem, communicate clearly with clients and deliver designs that are intelligent and precise.

We are proud to have clients today who have been with us since the beginning. We believe nothing could be a more powerful indication of our commitment to collaborate on designs that deliver.
