Finding solutions to our cities’ most significant design challenges while finding opportunities in undervalued spaces.
About us
At Studio JCI, we provide creative solutions to design challenges and add value throughout the building process to establish elevated architecture for all. Our team of expert problem solvers takes a process-oriented approach to design and project execution, aiming to pave a smooth path for our clients through the regulatory and planning processes. Our work is the culmination of intensive study, from aesthetic concept and market feasibility through to functional programming and optimal building performance. Founded in 2007 by architects Jaegap Chung and Sue Jean Chung, our innovative and multidisciplinary practice offers thoughtful solutions to individual and community needs. We believe architects add value to society, not just sites, and our mission is to further evolve this role by producing contextually sensitive work. We approach every project with a macroscopic perspective, considering the client, their needs, their business, the City, its municipal approval process, policy, and constructability, and thoroughly explore regional identity and vernacular technique first before dialing into specifics. We prioritize collaboration and share our learnings with our clients every step of the way. Based in Toronto, our studio’s portfolio is rich with public and commercial projects, as well as all scales of residential structures. Whether the project is low-, mid-, or high-rise, we are committed to finding solutions that address the most significant design challenges while also uncovering opportunities in undervalued spaces. We are particularly passionate about sustainability and sensitively densifying neighborhoods. In 2019, the Ontario Association of Architects awarded Studio JCI for its “Multi-Tach: Addressing Housing Infrastructure” proposal.

A new development at 3807-3829 Lake Shore Blvd W is set to bring connected, sustainable living to Long Branch. Located in a Protected Major Transit Station Area, the proposal introduces a single tower with a staggered design rising to 43, 42, and 41 stories, designed to maximize light, privacy, and views across the city. Each residence features a corner window in the living room, an intentional design that enhances natural light and frames both urban and lake views. Proximity to key transit connections encourages reduced car dependency, offering residents seamless citywide access. Green roofs, landscaped outdoor spaces, and a mix of retail at grade support a balance between functional living and thoughtful community design. #FutureOfHousing #TorontoDevelopment #LongBranch #PMTSA #UrbanDesign

What does it take to design the future? It starts with meaningful conversations . At CAFÉ Housing Symposium we connected with students, professionals, and industry experts to explore how architecture can address pressing housing challenges. The future of housing isn’t just about buildings; it’s about people, communities, and the stories we shape together. A heartfelt thank you to Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science at Toronto Metropolitan University and everyone who took the time to engage, share, and contribute—these conversations are what drive meaningful change. #studioJCI #housingthefuture #tmudas
