Jonathan Boelkins is an architect and a writer based in Arkansas and Louisiana.
As an architect, he is known for making thoughtful, elegant, modern spaces that are carefully attuned to their place. Every project shares a principled approach that looks beyond current trends, seeking instead the timeless qualities of architecture - qualities that enhance daily life and reveal the rhythms of changing seasons. We strive to make truly memorable places filled with natural light, warm materials, and refined details. Our work is a reflection of our relationships - with clients, with builders, with craftspeople - and of our belief in the power and purpose of architecture. In every case, our work demonstrates clarity and economy without losing its essential humanity.
As a writer, he captures the essential qualities and aspirations of architecture in essays, project descriptions, and award submissions. His work has been featured in several books, including Shelby Farms Park: Elevating a City: The Improbable Journey of America’s Great 21st Century Urban Park and Small Firm Success: How Small Firms Can Thrive in an Age of Acceleration.
