About the Studio
Spaces that carry meaning.
Founded in 2026 by Jan Marc Mendoza, JMG Architects is a Ozamiz and Butuan based studio with a global portfolio spanning private residences, cultural institutions, and urban master plans.
We believe architecture is an act of care — for people, for place, and for time. Every project begins with deep listening and ends with a building that belongs precisely where it stands.
