Past Experience:

Over 18-years working in the architecture profession, primarily in Seattle, plus 6-years of NAAB-accredited Architecture degrees, Urban Architecture studies, and Honors College degrees here in the NW in Oregon.  Prior to creating this architecture studio in 2014, previous qualifications include being a Project Architect and Registered Architect for a progressive Seattle architecture, general contracting, and development firm in addition to being a long-time Registered Architect and Designer for a talented, detail-oriented Seattle architecture, urban architecture, and urban mixed-use firm.  Jonathan has also worked on a number of international architecture projects abroad.  Key client experience included working on a diverse range of projects for Vulcan, Equity Residential, other great West Coast developers, real estate investment trusts, institutions, private clients, public clients, and many other clients of all scales.

Projects for these clients included urban mixed-use buildings, towers, single family homes, multifamily residences, townhouses, rowhouses, tenant improvement projects, remodels, historic preservation projects, master planning, offices, urban infill, hospitality projects, mid-rise buildings, low-rise buildings, university projects, confidential studies or projects, institutional projects, non-profit projects, and government projects.

A wide range of construction systems and project delivery methods were employed for these architecture projects including typical site-built construction, prefab modular, design-build, and design-develop-build. Key projects also rated as high as LEED Platinum to meet energy and sustainability goals. The scale of these projects ranged from 200 square feet to over 1 million square feet and the construction budgets ranged from 10 thousand dollars to over 300 million dollars.
