Introduction.
JSA Architects, founded in 2002, are an established architectural practice who are widely admired for their creative and sustainable approach to architecture.
The award winning practice specialises in innovative, inspiring and sustainable designs, including homes, offices and leisure buildings.
Headquartered in Derby, and with regional studios in Nottingham & Solihull the practice is conveniently located to serve clients across the Midlands and the rest of the UK.
Creativity.
Is central to our practice philosophy:
‘Different. By Design.’
Working from modern purpose designed studios, our creative team use a variety of mediums such as hand drawn sketches, CAD, 3d modelling (BIM) and innovative collaboration portals to display creativity in each step of the project journey.
We also apply creative thinking to planning applications and construction management to facilitate the desired outcomes.
Sustainability.
Sustainable architecture is a true passion within the practice and a key driver for much of our project work. Notable recent projects include:
Marsh Flatts Farm (pictured) – is a zero carbon house designed to Passivhaus Plus standard.
Another project on a sloping 5 acre site north of Matlock, seamlessly integrates residential living with pasture management and animal husbandry.
We have also completed projects constructed from Durisol blocks (recycled pallets) and Hempcrete.

These innovations reflect the practice ethos with a fresh, modern approach, offering a very transparent, yet personal service to every client.
