Studio JCI is a Toronto-based architecture studio founded in 2007 by architects Jaegap and Sue Jean Chung. Known for their process-oriented design approach, the firm provides creative and context-sensitive solutions across all stages of the building process—from aesthetic concept and feasibility studies to programming and building performance. Their work embraces regional identity and vernacular technique, aiming to transform undervalued spaces into elevated architecture for users and communities.
With a portfolio that spans residential, commercial, public, and healthcare typologies—across low-, mid-, and high-rise scales—Studio JCI is recognized for its thoughtful collaboration with clients, consultants, and city regulators. Committed to both sustainability and urban density, the firm won the Ontario Association of Architects award in 2019 for its “Multi-Tach: Addressing Housing Infrastructure” proposal, a visionary model tackling affordable, multi-generational housing in Toronto.
