JSARQ is a multidisciplinary architecture and interior design firm located in San José, Costa Rica. 

Janine Schneider graduated from Columbia Univeristy in 2007. In 2009 she founded the firm, with the purpose of designing projects that would allow her to experiment with local and innovative ideas and with the aim of generating an impact on people through dynamic and different spaces. All this taking into account the original vision of the client and the characteristics of the place where the space belongs.

JSARQ seeks to generate through architecture emotions and an intrinsic connection with both the users of the space and the surrounding context. This permanent search to generate innovative designs
connected with people and the surrounding reality is what has allowed the firm to develop sensitive, balanced and sustainable projects.

The firm's team of architects and designers operates in a multidisciplinary environment, which allows them to discover new solutions and multiple opportunities in each design in which they are involved. This contributes greatly to the synergy that is generated between the firm, the client and the collaborators of each project.

This permanent search for doing things in an unconventional way has allowed JSARQ to win awards that have consolidated its position as a recognized and innovative architectural firm in the national and international arena.
