JTAIT is an architectural practice, based in Glasgow, working at the intersection of design, research, and community engagement. The office works across various scales to explore new spatial, tectonic, social, and environmental possibilities for our future built environment.
JTAIT is led by James Tait – an Architect, Author, and Educator.
