Justin Hughes

Registered Architect | WELL AP

With 20 years of professional experience, Justin brings technical architectural knowledge, intuition, and creative design solutions to architectural projects of varying typologies, scales, and complexity.

 

Typically, assuming the role of team leader and project architect, Justin works closely with the client and consultants to develop high quality designs, technical solutions and ensures that documents are easily understood for permit review and constructability.

 

Justin loves the collaborative design process and understands that every team member has a unique perspective and something valuable to offer. He is just as eager to contribute to the development of his peers as he is to listen and learn from others and strives to build lasting relationships that are built on trust, respect and inclusivity.

 

Usually involved early in schematic design through construction administration, Justin takes pride and ownership of his work and loves to see every project to completion. His involvement throughout a project’s entirety has been important to the success of many projects.
