JOW Office is an architecture and interior design studio that crafts spaces to enrich and bring joy to the experience of daily life.

We are a research driven practice whose projects are characterized by their elegant geometries and fine material detailing. Our office works across project types including affordable and high-end residential, commercial, retail and hospitality. Our work is grounded in the principles of collaboration and discovery through close partnerships with clients and builders.

JOW Office is committed to sustainable building and works with communities to identify opportunities for how design can be leveraged as a catalyst for change. We believe in an architecture that is in dialogue with history, culture, and the institutions around us. Our office is full-service - providing guidance and expertise from concept design through construction.

    • Needs Assessment

      • We provide building needs assessments and surveys for both old and new structures that identify architectural, mechanical, and structural deficiencies to help you understand what’s needed before you start your renovation or redesign.

    • Zoning Analysis

      • We provide zoning analysis at the start of your project so you know what can and can’t be built on your site. Use, height restrictions, setbacks, and bulk requirements are all critical to understanding how large your building can be and what your municipality will accept.

    • Master Planning

      • We look at your greenfield site, existing campus, or collection of buildings to help you plan for the future. Providing a comprehensive inventory of all your assets including building’s, landscape, and equipment, JOW Office will make sense of what you have, what you need for growth, and provide a long-term architectural vision for your business or institution.

    • Space Planning

      • We identify space and area requirements for your building or space so we can plan and program the ideal design that will optimize your next project.

    • Concept Design and Visioning

      • We provide conceptual design options for your review and consideration so you can make sound decisions and invest in the right solution. Our team will build three-dimensional models and artistically render your project so you can visualize what it will look like.

    • Approvals and Permitting

      • We have extensive experience working with planning boards and building inspectors. We understand building regulations and speak their language so that your project can be approved quickly and without delay.

    • Construction Documentation

      • We document the preferred design established in the concept design phase. Our drawings and specifications will provide your builder with the right information to create accurate cost estimates and prepare the project for construction.

    • Construction Administration

      • We stay involved. We provide construction administration services to monitor design intent and ensure the project is delivered to the standards you expect.
