JAAM Architects

London-based practice JAAM Architects shapes residential townhouses and ground-floor extensions through precise tectonic interventions, combining slender steel edging, graphic joinery accents, and sculpted glazing that frames historic brick masonry. This body of work serves as a strong reference when resolving structural thresholds on light-filled glass gables, aligning interior ceiling pitches to garden sightlines, or detailing geometric corner openings in compact urban spaces.

What we like about this project
The gabled glass roof captures upper-level light while seamlessly framing the original weathered brickwork behind.
