MASTER PLANNING
At Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA), we redefine the boundaries of traditional design studios by leveraging the diverse strengths of our exceptional team. We prioritize the unique needs of our clients and end-users, ensuring that every design is a thoughtful response to their aspirations and requirements. Since 1967, our adaptable approach combined with a commitment to quality and innovation, has established us as a trusted advisor and esteemed design partner.
From Seattle's 40-foot-extended Great Wheel and Pier 57 restaurants to the immersive Wings Over Washington motion ride and the newest Sasquatch Mountain attraction, JMA's iconic designs have reshaped the city's waterfront landmarks.
SUSTAINABILITY
Performance is designed in, not added on.
Our LEED-accredited team treats energy, water, and material decisions as core design inputs from day one — not a checklist applied at the end.
Envelope and systems modeled early to reduce operational energy use well beyond code minimums.
Energy performance
Low-flow fixtures, smart irrigation, and stormwater strategies reduce potable water demand on site.
water efficiency
Regional sourcing and off-site fabrication cut material waste and shorten supply chains.
Responsible materials
Ventilation, daylighting, and low-emission finishes designed around occupant health.
Indoor air & wellbeing
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Off-site precision. On-site speed.
Modular delivery lets us control quality in a factory setting while cutting site time, weather delays, and neighborhood disruption — without compromising design intent.
Off-site fabrication runs in parallel with site work, often cutting overall schedules by 20–40%.
1
Faster delivery
Less material waste
Factory conditions allow tighter material take-offs and reuse of offcuts across units.
2
Consistent quality control
Repeated assembly in a controlled environment reduces variability unit to unit.
3
Fewer site disruptions
Shorter on-site construction windows mean less noise, traffic, and impact on neighbors.
