John Jacob Architects

John Jacob Architects is tucked away in Richmond Town on Walker Road, specifically at number 4. It’s an older part of town with a lot of character, and we like being here. Our office isn't anything special to look at from the outside, but inside we have everything we need to get our work done. There are always rolls of tracing paper and half-finished cups of coffee sitting around. We've been in this spot for a good number of years. It’s a small group of us, and we mostly just focus on the projects that come through the door. We don't have a big sign or any fancy advertisements. Usually, people find us because someone they know told them to come here. We spend a lot of time looking at site maps and trying to fit everything into the local building rules. It can be a bit of a puzzle sometimes. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed, though we do get busy when a deadline is coming up. We like the walkability of Richmond Town. Sometimes we take a break and walk down Walker Road just to clear our heads. It’s a solid, honest place to work. We don't use a lot of technical jargon when we talk to people. We just try to explain things in a way that makes sense to everyone involved. It’s about getting the walls in the right place and making sure the roof is solid. We've been doing this for a while now.
