Keith Jones AIA, LEED BD+C (he/him/his)
Experienced in a range of project types ranging from retail and housing to institutional, Keith is motivated by complex design challenges, defining problems as disguised opportunities or puzzles to be solved.
Keith believes that buildings and the spaces between them create the important public zones which shape neighborhoods. For him, each project presents the chance to create clear, efficient and impactful places that can support and enhance growing communities. Lately, Keith has been bringing his work home, devoting most of his time to the restoration and redesign of his historic 1840s home.
