About JDA Design Architects Inc
Established in 1992
Since it’s founding in the spring of 1992, JDA Design Architects Inc primary focus has been residential design & remodeling. A full service architectural design firm located in the historic and vibrant Twin City of Minneapolis, Minnesota, JDA Design Architects Inc has provided architectural and engineering services for our clients nationwide with residential design, construction management, and hospitality consulting needs.
Our primary passion lies in visualizing & creating invigorating, functional spaces using the beauty & durability of natural materials and incorporating special elements to achieve the most appeal from natural light. Through these methods, we have succeeded in creating a number of award winning homes & have been published on a number of occasions.
Our other passion is for the people we work with. We engage with each clients ideas on a very personal level. This helps us to gather a full understanding of what the final outcome wants to be. Whether it’s a small cabin in the north woods, or a kitchen reno here in the city. Learning how you live is very important to us.
Though primarily conceived as a residential design office, over the years JDA Design Architects Inc has branched out into other areas such as small scale retail and commercial work. We also recently completed a large hotel project located along the shores of Deep Creek Lake in western Maryland.
Our work in Log & Timber continues to be popular. And though a small slice of our entire repertoire, it remains popular as we realize more projects in the Great Northwoods of Minnesota & Wisconsin.
So please, enjoy the following pages of our work. We think that it shows a great cross section through some of our best design work to date. At the same time exemplifying the dedication, passion, and integrity that JDA Design Architects Inc has come to be known for.
