JSARQ is a multidisciplinary architecture and interior design studio based in San José, Costa Rica. It was founded in 2009 by Janine Schneider, a graduate of Columbia University in New York.

The firm seeks to design innovative projects that connect with people and their surrounding reality.

JSARQ has designed balanced and sustainable projects in Lima, Peru; Miami, United States; Panama City; and Costa Rica.

JSARQ's team of architects, designers, and administrators works in a multidisciplinary environment, which allows them to discover new solutions and multiple opportunities in an orderly manner in each design in which they participate. This contributes greatly to the synergy generated between the firm, the client, and the collaborators on each project.

The ongoing quest to create unconventional designs has earned JSARQ awards that have established it as a renowned and innovative architecture studio both nationally and internationally.
