Locus Design is a new practice, and our portfolio as a design workshop is just beginning to take shape. The work showcased here—from conceptual sketches to active developments—represents our commitment to the ecology of place and our goal of creating architecture that serves as a respectful bridge between people and the natural world.
Other notable projects
Completed during our tenures at other recognized firms, the projects below share a common thread: a deep connection to the landscape and rigorous material exploration. These past experiences shaped the technical and aesthetic ethos that drives Locus Design today.
Jim Park Shelter | Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park | Jason served as project architect at Allison Architects
This pavilion demonstrates our end-to-end approach to building responsibly in the outdoors, from initial design and detailing through construction administration. By integrating a dual-sided native stone fireplace with an exposed glulam structure—and expertly navigating uneven topography for full ADA compliance—the project exemplifies the marriage of technical rigor and rustic materiality.
SRVC | Veterinarian Clinic | Jason served as project architect at Allison Architects
This facility highlights our expertise in executing detailed material palettes to meet a specific, nature-inspired client vision. By combining a heavy timber framed entrance with natural wood barn doors and a corrugated metal exterior, the project brings a warm, lodge-like sensibility to a specialized clinical environment.
Lewis and Clark Outfitters | Jason served as project designer and manager at Core Architects
Navigating a steep, highly visible site, this three-tiered concept integrates outdoor recreation directly into the architecture by routing a bike path through a central dog trot. The bold, modern facade utilizes rhythmic vertical louvers to mitigate a harsh western exposure, wrapping a dynamic interior that features a multi-level indoor climbing wall.
Northwest Medical Center Urgent Care | Jason served as project designer and manager at Core Architects
Designed to subvert the traditional, cold clinical setting, this facility utilizes biophilic design to create a deeply tranquil environment for patients. The warm material palette of native stone, natural wood, and exposed glulam timbers demonstrates our commitment to integrating calming, nature-connected aesthetics into highly technical spaces.
Heartland Whole Health Institute | Ryan served as project architect at Marlon Blackwell Architects
This project’s level of complexity required a high degree of involvement from the design team, and Ryan worked on-site with Baldwin & Shell Construction extensively over a two-year period to assist in the execution of this award-winning project.
