Jordan Kutev Architect

Jordan Kutev Architect Inc. (JKA) is a pioneering architectural practice based in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, renowned for its innovative, high-performance buildings and sustainable developments. As a well-diversified practice, we offer practical solutions to a multitude of design and construction-related issues, as evident from our portfolio of past projects of varying size, scope, and complexity.

Our Philosophy

We believe that problem-solving can only begin once a problem has been properly identified. Our design ideas and concepts are born from a distinctive "problem-seeking approach" that involves posing a series of unique, yet relevant questions to each and every project. The final answers and design solutions are drawn only after tirelessly interviewing and gathering input from all stakeholders. A project's final defining scheme is a direct collaboration between the client's building aspirations and our extensive knowledge of building typology and context.
