Jaegap is a founding principal of Studio JCI, a Toronto-based architecture firm designing and building over eight million square feet of residential projects annually. He graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto. With over 25 years of extensive experience in high-end residential design, Jaegap’s innovation and project leadership spans varying scales, neighbourhoods, and municipalities.

Recognized for his leadership as an architect, Jaegap is an advocate for bolstering timeless projects that contribute to the social, economic, and cultural fabric of the built environment. Jaegap brings a keen sense of design and well-developed project management skills to each project, enabling clients to gain a complete understanding of the design and process. He has an intuitive understanding of proportions and pays careful attention to craftsmanship and materiality while being able to create design opportunities in unexpected places. Building on these architectural skills is his ability to forge collaborative relationships across disciplines, streamlining communication and maximizing both the value and quality of the project.

Jaegap founded Studio JCI with his partner, Sue Jean Chung, in 2007 with a shared goal to create classic, timeless buildings that contribute to the social, economic, and cultural fabric of the built environment. While Jaegap has gained much recognition for his exclusive designs, his true passion is society-shaping, residential innovation that prioritizes community-building and future-proofed sustainability. Jaegap’s work has been influential in shaping several City of Toronto municipal planning policy initiatives in support of encouraging the design and construction of multiplexes and mid-rises, all in favour of restoring the city’s missing middle.
