In their retirement, the owners decided to trade in their small-town, rural Iowa working life for the urban bustle of the city. Longtime art collectors and philanthropists, they desired closer proximity to a greater array of cultural offerings. As one enters the condominium, one is surrounded by calming, richly stained wood paneling on walls and ceiling. This compressed space serves as a buffer for the user between the commotion outside and the tranquility inside. Views of the city pull one through this entry space into the expansive, loft-like living spaces that line the perimeter of the floor plan. Wood clad piers define the public spaces from the private spaces, as does a change in ceiling height – which also conceals an array of existing ducts and pipes. Overcoming the challenges posed by these existing elements while creating a cohesive, minimal whole was the primary obstacle in designing this space.

I still practice architecture today because I love the process of making on both small and large scales. After studying at the College of Design at Iowa State University, I joined Neumann Monson Architects, where I maintained a general practice for seven years. My residential and civic projects, such as the Knock Residence and the Career Academy of Pella, have been recognized widely for excellence in contemporary design. One of my most interesting and gratifying projects was to design the first purpose-built Mosque in the state of Iowa, for a community of immigrants that was ready for their own worship space. Some of my smaller projects have included interior renovations and custom design for small businesses. With the Raleigh Architecture Company, I specialized in contemporary residential architecture. In addition to architecture, I am a woodworker and carpenter with an extensive portfolio of furniture pieces. Jackson is a licensed architect in both Iowa and North Carolina. Maker is located in the Triangle region of North Carolina but we travel as needed to design spaces anywhere.
