About Juan Alfaro Design
Juan Alfaro Design is a Brooklyn-based, full-service design and fabrication studio specializing in architectural and ornamental metalwork, glass, and millwork. Founded on the belief that exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design are inseparable, JAD manages every phase of a project, from design development through fabrication and installation, bringing a rare range of disciplines together under one roof.

A Team Built on Mastery
At the heart of JAD is a carefully assembled team of master craftsmen, draftsmen, machinists, and engineers whose collective expertise spans decades. Each discipline is integral to our process: our craftsmen bring an irreplaceable human touch to every piece, our draftsmen translate vision into precise technical drawings, our machinists ensure accuracy at every scale, and our engineers provide the structural rigor that allows even the most ambitious designs to become reality. They operate not as separate departments, but as a unified studio, collaborating closely from concept to completion.
This cohesion is what sets JAD apart. When artistry and engineering work in concert, the result is work that is not only visually striking, but built to endure.
Two Decades of Fine Metal Finishes
Over the past 20 years, JAD has built a portfolio of one-of-a-kind fine metal finishes, earning the trust of leading architects, designers, and artists. We fabricated the feature stair for the newly completed Shirley Chisholm Recreation Center, designed by Studio Gang for the NYC Department of Design and Construction and the NYC Parks Departmen, and the feature stair for the Totême on Madison Avenue, designed by Halleroed and featured in Vogue. Our extensive metal and glasswork for a residential project led by architect David Bers and Studio Volpe has appeared in Architectural Digest.
These projects reflect the full range of what we do: custom and production fabrication spanning staircases, doors and windows, architectural fixtures, and public and private artworks, each executed with the same uncompromising attention to detail, whether destined for a civic landmark or a private home
