Recognition

We have been honored with over 200 awards for our work.

All of our work is rooted in the idea that the built environment should support the natural environment.

For over 40 years, Jones Studio has created unique and memorable architecture that is a direct expression of the values and culture of those who occupy it and of the community and place in which it stands. We believe that human ingenuity and creativity can shape our built environment for the better.

Scorpion House / Jones-Johnson Residence
From the publishers of Architectural Graphic Standards . . . a showcase of inspiring contemporary architecture Graphic Standards Details: Openings presents a new collection of elegant openings—doors, windows, and passageways—to inspire and instruct architectural designers. It features two dozen projects culled from an open competition of today's leading architects, including Diller Scofidio + Renfro; Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects; Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates; Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects; and Wilkinson Eyre Architects. This rich, visual resource offers readers the chance to examine hundreds of detailed construction drawings for a broad range of architectural scales—from residential interiors to a city gateway—including: A surprisingly beautiful chiller plant Houses that open to the elements with disappearing walls Stunning commercial entryways A rural house fabricated from recycled materials An impossibly twisting skyway bridge And more! Every project presented here includes color photographs of the completed work, a descriptive narrative, and expertly drawn details that illustrate how each was constructed. Providing inspiration and problem-solving knowledge, Graphic Standards Details: Openings is a valuable resource for architects, project managers, and designers. Scorpion House Jones-Johnson Residence

Sustainable Homes : 26 Designs That Respect the Earth

by Trulove, James Grayson (author), HarperCollins Publishers (Publisher)
Jones-Johnson Residence Low Compound
Sustainable Homes puts to rest the stigma that "green architecture" is unattractive and unsuitable for residential architecture.For the houses shown in this volume represent design equal to or superior to most conventional houses. Each of these "eco" houses is unique. Some tread lightly on the site by nestling into the land. Others are designed to be extremely well suited to the climactic zones in which they are built. Many use materials that do no harm to the environment--materials that are recycled, salvaged, or harvested. The houses featured in Sustainable Homes are designed by today's top architects such as Obie Bowman, Fernau and Hartman, Hanrahan and Meyers, and Lake/Flato. They reveal how much the parameters of ecological design have expanded in just a few short years. Over two dozen individual houses are featured -- from locations as diverse as a Canadian cove to the Arizona desert, from Kansas plains to the Norwegian coast, from California bluffs to South Carolina wetlands -- each described through descriptions, photographs, plans, drawings, and schematics.

Experimental Architecture: Houses (Universe Architecture Series 2004)

by Jacobo Krauel (Author), Tim Hursley (Photographer), Universe (Publisher)
The Walner Residence
The buildings selected for this book have little in common-they come from different cities across the globe and represent the work of some of the world's most accomplished architects, who often have vastly different outlooks, each radically defying convention and producing innovative alternatives for residential spaces. Each project is profiled with images of the completed construction, reproductions of the layouts and floorplans, and a description of how the design came to be. Some architects highlight the obstacles inherent in working with a particular site, while others discuss how the clients and their lifestyles were the chief elements around which they designed the house. Each profile demonstrates what makes the project unique and what source provided the impetus or inspiration for designing the house in that particular way. All these houses defy expectations and explode the notion of what "experimental" means in residential architecture. The Walner Residence

Building with Earth: Design and Technology of a Sustainable Architecture.

Gernot Minke (Author), Birkhäuser (Publisher)
Low Compound
Fourth and revised edition of the standard work of reference on rammed earth construction Earth, in common use for architectural construction for thousands of years, has in the past thirty years attracted renewed attention as a healthy, environment-friendly and economical building material. What needs to be considered in this context? The manual "Building with Earth", which has been translated into many languages, describes the building technology of this material. The physical properties and characteristic values are explained in a hands-on manner: With proper moisture protection, earth buildings are very durable, and in particular the combination with wood or straw allows a wide spectrum of design options. Numerous built examples demonstrate the range of applications for this fully recyclable material. Low Compound, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA pg 148

Jones Studio Houses: Sensual Modernism

by Oscar Riera Ojeda (Editor), Vladimir Belogolovsky (Interviewer), Aaron Betsky (Introduction), Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers (Publisher)
Jones Studio Houses: Sensual Modernism
“JONES STUDIO HOUSES Sensual Modernism” is a self-imposed limited look at the 40-year-plus career of Eddie Jones. Almost unheard of outside the southwest United States, Jones has quietly accumulated a body of work ranging beyond residential design to include major federal projects impacting the edges of America... to be featured in a soon to be published monograph! Supported by Aaron Betsky’s insightful forward, plus an enlightening interview with Vladimir Belogolovsky, and comments from many of his famous colleagues, Jones summarizes his lifelong dance with architecture through the personal stories embedded in each house. Refusing to repeat himself, the work tests the reality of gravity on a diverse spectrum of interpretive vernacular responses to climate, landscape and function. Although designed by the same hand, the forms vary as much as the choice of materials. Rammed earth, concrete, wood and metal are explored together and separately yet remain subordinate to Jones’ fascination with glass. Utilizing photographs, hand-drawings and first-person accounts, the motivations and joy of being an architect are expressed by an exceptional whole informed by many ordinary parts.

Power / Architecture

by Jorge Carvalho (Editor), Ricardo Carvalho (Editor), Pedro Bandeira (Editor), Lars Müller Publishers
Mariposa Land Port of Entry
Power and architecture are fundamental to the question of how contemporary society and architecture work together. Since power lacks a comprehensive logic, coherence and instrumentalization capability, the question refers both to the autonomous powers of the architectural forms and to a set of external powers represented through architecture. The presented series of projects based on current and extreme syntheses of comprehensive and complex world views enables mapping a network of powers that align, intersect, inflect and diverge from each other: collective power, ordaining power, economic power, technological power, ritual power, cultural power, media power and domestic power. The issue of counter power is then discussed against this background. Through eight essays by contributors, along with images, drawings and documents, the book renders visible a set of entities, informal conventions, stakeholders and means involved in the creation of architecture; that is, the dynamics of the collective that ceaselessly tests the architectural composition of the common world. With selected projects by Herzog & de Meuron, Rem Koolhaas, Eduardo Souto de Moura and many more.
