Jaklitsch / Gardner Architects PC  is an award-winning, internationally recognized architecture and design studio that has won acclaim for its ability to create buildings, objects and spaces that engage their users and respond to their cultures and contexts. The firm takes an expansive view of design – creating projects at every scale from products and temporary installations to commercial buildings and urban plans. J/GA seeks to engage the physical qualities of construction - believing that the conceptual framework of each project derives from the context, time and place of each project, and that restrictions and requirements serve as design opportunities. Jaklitsch / Gardner Architects recently completed construction of a flagship building in Tokyo for Marc Jacobs International and has proposed several larger urban projects, including competition entries for the West Cork Arts Center in Cork, Ireland; The Lebanese-Omani Centre in Beirut, Lebanon; and Open Fort 400, an urban redevelopment project in Amsterdam North. In December 2009, ORO Editions published Stephan Jaklitsch: Habits, Patterns, Algorithms, which focuses on the studio’s work over its first ten years.
