WHO WE AREA

JAGA Architecture is a Ballarat-based studio specialising in new homes, extensions and alterations to heritage properties, as well as selected smaller commercial projects.

We are passionate about designing buildings that are both practical and enduring, and that sit comfortably within their local context.

OUR BELIEF

We believe great architecture should be:

• Contextual – responsive to site and heritage

• Collaborative – engaging clients, consultants, and builders

• Economical – mindful of value and budget

• Sustainable – integrating passive design and long-term durability

• Thoughtful – balancing practicality and delight

OUR APPROACH

At JAGA, our role is to empower clients throughout the design process. We listen closely, work collaboratively and ensure that each project reflects our clients’ vision while delivering well-considered, functional design outcomes.

We typically work within a couple of hours from Ballarat, though we remain flexible depending on the scale and nature of the project.
