JAM

JAM is a design studio specialising in the transformation and re-use of buildings and materials. Formed by Adam Willis and Joe Halligan, co-founders of Assemble, and Dan Waterstone, previously of Sergison Bates architects, JAM have collective prior experience leading projects such as the recently completed Atelier Luma, the Turner-Prize winning Granby Four Streets, the EU Mies Award nominated Goldsmiths CCA and Stirling Prize nominated Lavender Hill Housing. Through an investigative approach to design, JAM seek to find value in things that are overlooked, drawing out the potential of materials from waste streams, whether from urban demolition or agricultural processes. Operating from a studio and workshop in London, JAM work in a hands on way, exploring the overlap between the physical and the digital to make projects which are forward-thinking, sustainable, and generous. Joe, Adam and Dan have previously worked with clients and collaborators including the V&A, Wellcome Collection, Tate, Design Museum, LUMA Foundation, Fogo Island Arts, Horst Arts and Music, Kamikatz Brewing and Shiseido Gallery Tokyo, and have taught and lectured at institutions including Cambridge University, Yale University, ETH Zurich and EPFL Lausanne, where Joe held a visiting professorship in 2020. JAM strive to make projects which are ambitious and extraordinary at all scales. If you would like to work with us, please get in touch.
