About the Studio

Founded in 2017 and based in the northern California foothill town of Placerville, Greg Jones Architecture specializes in crafting contextual, sustainable, and delightful human-centered design solutions. Our approach is one that places people at the center of every design problem. Our philosophy is to craft highly specific solutions that reflect the culture, tradition, and climate of the site and the people that will inhabit it.

We believe that the best architecture exudes an appropriate respect for the essence of the place — the traditions, the cultures, the natural features, the climate — everything that makes a place special and unique. This respect represents true stewardship and is the basis of everything we do. Our belief that good architecture is contextual, in regards to both climate and culture, informs a design ethos that emphasizes a respect for the traditions that make a place unique and the wisdom those traditions contain for how to appropriately respond to the regional climate.
