JDS is a multidisciplinary firm that deals with architecture and design, from large-scale projects to furniture. It employs talented designers and experienced architects who work together to develop projects and oversee them from sketch to construction. Regardless of the scope of each project, they always take into account its social dimension, ambition, and professional approach.

The essence of JDS architecture is that they know how to see things in a fresh way with experienced eyes. They strive to combine in-depth research and analysis of practical and theoretical issues into a driving force for design. They are constantly developing precise methods of analysis and production, and when working with clients, they act as partners rather than consultants.

The office, which boasts an extensive list of international clients, employs 30 people. When necessary, they also collaborate with external consultants, which ensures that their projects are balanced and never overly conventional or overly naive. The founder and head of JDS is Julien de Smedt, who is also the co-founder of Plot. Designers/partners: Teppo Asikainen, Vesa Hinkola, Markus Nevalainen, Kari Sivonen, Ilkka Terho, Jan Tromp, Rane Vaskivuori, Timo Vierro.
