Robert Jackson and Michael McElhaney
Architects is a service oriented architectural firm that includes
licensed architects, project managers and support staff. Founded
in 1975 as Robert Jackson Architects, this small firm has grown to
cover a diverse range of architectural services and received national
design recognition for a variety of building types. Our success is based
on our inclusive approach which engages owner/client, consultants,
contractors etc. throughout the design and construction process. We
pride ourselves on a seamless transition from design to construction;
the end result reflects the resolution of the site, the budget and the
owner’s goals.
We believe that architectural design is a
service profession. Our goal is to create a vision in form and material
which matches the client’s aspirations. Architecture is a visual art, so
from the beginning we provide many diagrams, plans and sketches in
order to define and refine the owner’s and team’s ideas. In this way,
the architecture is molded by the entire team. As architects, our role
is to give the team’s ideas shape and form.
One of the hallmarks of our work has been our
focus on earth-friendly design, one which started long before the
recent ‘green’ trend. Whether designing in an urban environment or in a
nature preserve, we consider the same basic principles: conserve and
preserve the earth, water, air and energy as passively as possible.
Efficiency, simplicity and unpretentious design is our goal. Our
sustainable design work has received local, state, national and
international recognition.
