JPAS



STUDIO

Julian Palacio Architecture Studio/JPAS is a New York-based design office. The studio operates as a creative platform for the realization of projects across types, scales and geographies. Our combined experience ranges from the design of the public and cultural spaces to private residences, interiors, and temporary installations.

Central to our work is an interest in crafting structures and environments to foster meaningful ways of living, communicating and interacting with one another and the world around us.

With every project we engage in a collaborative dialogue with partners, clients, consultants and fabricators to materialize an optimistic belief in the transformative capacity of architecture, while engaging with fundamental questions of rituals, form, structure and tectonics.
