studio

Isturaín + Sam (previously known as JiA. Jose Isturaín Arquitectura) is an architecture and design studio based in Panama, founded by two panamanian architects: Jòse Isturaín and Nadine Sam. Both, with different backgrounds and generations, share a vision and a common creative scenario, one in the tropic.

Coincidentally this union occurs in the year of the Covid-19 pandemic, possibly one of the most difficult years and one that poses enormous challenges in all professions, especially on architects, who once again must accept the challenge of reinterpret and reinvent the current paradigm of design and architecture to the needs of our society.

They are defined as a fresh and simple studio, which express an approach, sensitivity and understanding of the environment, as a fundamental base to carry out any type of project.
