Design that Fits

At JoT Architecture, “Design that Fits” is a philosophy that shapes everything we do. For us, great architecture isn’t just about how a space looks — it’s about how it feels, how it functions, and how it supports the people
who use it. Every project we design is a reflection of what fits best for you and your unique needs.

From Our Clients

“We have used Jane Thompson on three separate occasions and highly recommend using her for any residential architectural projects that require creativity, a sensitivity to time and budget and an ability to operate within unusual constraints. We have been extremely pleased with the outcome of each of our projects and struggle to think how the projects could have been improved upon.”
- Peter Allison, homeowner
“We did two major home renovation projects with Jane, most recently in late 2024 / early 2025. In both instances, it was a very positive experience. Jane’s thoughtfulness, professionalism and attention to detail shine through in her work. Jane is also supported by a very talented team. They came up with valuable design ideas that were in keeping with the historical character of our home. In addition, Jane provided invaluable assistance in helping us to choose a contractor.”
- Christian DesRoches, homeowner
“We could not have hoped for a better experience than we had with Jane Thompson and her team. In every one of our interactions with Jane, Erin, and their team, their expertise, their warmth, and their professionalism shone through. We are happy to offer our full and unqualified recommendation of Jane Thompson Architect to anyone looking for an architect for a similar project.”
- Marc Hanvelt, homeowner
“Nepean Housing Corp. engaged with Jane Thompson Architect to explore various infill opportunities in our existing portfolio. When the most viable option was realized, we worked closely with Jane and her associates through a collaborative design phase of a net-zero ready 31-unit apartment building. We have continued to work closely with Jane and team through a construction management phase and into construction beginning in August 2023. Through our work with Jane Thompson Architect, we have found them to be responsive, creative, collaborative, and flexible at all stages of our project.”
-Tim Dowell, Capital Works Manager: Nepean Housing Corporation
“JTA is professional, responsive in communications, collaborative in determining solutions, creative, and open to solutions presented. They are client focused and always open for discussions that lead to a meaningful progress that benefit the project. Their staff are always accessible, and a pleasure to collaborate with. MBC would gladly recommend JTA to anyone who wishes to work with an excellent, trustworthy and resourceful team.”
