JANISAK BIDDLE ARCHITECTS
Founded in 2018 by Joshua Janisak and Robert Biddle, JBA is a Philadelphia-based architecture practice that handles projects ranging from fast-track institutional spaces to the restoration of mid-century homes.
Our work is diverse because our clients are, whether we’re building a specialized AI Innovation Hub for Microsoft or restoring a historic timber bank barn for a baroque chamber ensemble.
With over 30 years of combined experience, we stay involved in every phase of the project. We don't delegate to junior staff; we manage the technical details of zoning, project coordination, and construction to ensure the final result is as functional and well crafted.
