DISCOVER JJ&A
One of Mumbai's leading interior designers and architects, Jami Jambusarwala & Associates (JJA) was established in 1972. Eponymously named after its founder, it started at a time when the concept of interior design was first making its way into Indian homes. An architect first, Jami’s guiding principal has always been a seamless integration of form and function. It is precisely with this design vision that he has moulded his company, now forging on in its fifth decade.
OUR PROCESS
No space - interior or exterior - no matter how stunning, will do justice to the client if it does not truly represent what they are all about. That's why our design process begins with and continues to nurture multiple interactions with our clients. Perhaps that is why JJ&A's clients are now third generation! Our design acumen lies in our ability to be able to understand the client’s vision and translate it into a reality that they can revel in for years to come.
At JJ&A, our designs, whether architectural or interior, have a flirtatious relationship with both form and function. Once we understand your vision, we translate this into proposed concepts that we discuss and debate for as long as it takes until you are confident you have the design of your dreams in store. We firmly believe that this creation stage bears the most fruit from a symbiotic relationship between JJ&A and you, the client.
In what has come to be one of our firms USPs, our life-like 3D renders are designed in-house and help our clients actually see what their new interior or home would look like before the first brick is even laid. Our team carefully details every aspect of the design from the wallpaper and cabinetry to the decor and objet d'art, leaving nothing to the imagination - or chance. Our clients love this particular step in the process as it paves the way for swift and efficinet execution.
This is the exciting stage - the part where it all begins to come together. Where practical details meet pretty fripperies to make a space functional, liveable, but always elegant and intensely personal. Attention to detail, especially at the very last finishing stages, is key to the final product and a task we take very seriously. It isn't uncommon to find a JJ&A team member scoping the space with a fine toothed comp and magnifying glass prior to hand-over day!
Client relationships matter! A strong after-design service support forms a big part of our success story. That's why at JJ&A, our service support team ensures that your needs are catered to well after you have occupied your homes, hotels or offices. On a personal note, we take pride in the fact that our clients consider the JJ&A team as their friends long before the site is even complete.
At JJ&A , sustainability in design plays a strategic role in our development. Reducing environmental impact , minimizing energy consumption and dependability on natural resources without having to compromise on comfort and quality is one of the most integral aspects of Architectural & Interior Design that we are able to provide you with. We are able to design our residential and commercial spaces to the most stringent LEED standards of today. As strong believers in sustainability and carbon-neutralization, we’re constantly looking for ways to offset our carbon emissions and invest in renewable energy technologies.
