The Firm

 


With every client, Jeff Wilkinson R.A. strives to create compelling architectural statements that are at home in their rural surroundings of New York's Hudson Valley. We are also noticeably sensitive in the execution of urban projects seeking to use the fabric of the community in the design. The design approach is characterized by a mix of traditional and vernacular forms integrated with modern needs. The office is committed to Sustainable Design which acknowledges the factors of eco-design and environmental issues. The firm has also gained a great deal of expertise in the field of historic restoration having worked on projects originally designed by such notable architects as Stanford White, Richard Morris Hunt and Calvert Vaux.

Typically the firm handles eight to ten projects a year and provides a full range of services including site planning, master planning, interior detailing, furniture design and lighting design. Each project is viewed as a unique design opportunity. While computers are an essential part of the construction detailing and production process, a great deal of emphasis is still put on freehand drawing and model building. It is our belief that these are still valuable architectural tools and hopefully the examples we have provided on this site will confirm this effort. Ultimately, Jeff Wilkinson R.A. would like to reunite the concept of architect and master builder to its essence and that the work done by this office will stand the test of time.
