January 2018
It has been a while since we have sent our JMBA "Latest News" .... JM/Bennett Architecture / Interiors has been quietly expanding our services again over the last several years, developing a network of professionals for collaborations and shared services. We now have developed a system, utilizing today's technology, that expands our design and production capabilities utilizing our connections and associations from Oregon & Colorado, to as far as South & Central America.
With over 20 years of experience in both residential and commercial design, we are able to continue our well respected residential & restaurant design work while expanding our commercial building design and space planning services again. JMBA celebrating 20 years of Architecture & Design (1998 to 2018)
The economy continues to be strong in Austin & Texas and we have been fortunate to have great clients, both new and returning. We pride ourselves for our accurate and thorough construction documents focused on energy efficiency that result in a seamless and uncomplicated Construction phase. We now have Nine 5-Star Energy Rated Homes rated by Austin Energy Green Building. Our process takes you from Preliminary Design to Construction, breaking down the project into manageable portions that will make the process easier, enjoyable and stress-free.

Joe: … You were fun to work with, listened to our ideas and came up with solutions to our problems. What more would anyone want? The kitchen is really looking great. The stonework starts soon, along with refinishing the LR floor.

Joe....We have been living in our new house for about 5 months now and I have to tell you that it turning out to be just what we hoped it would be. The comfort level is nothing like we have experienced in houses we have had before. .... The most striking thing we notice is that we don’t notice changes in temperature. No drafts (with a minor exception), just a constant comfortable inside climate.
We have large family dinners (6 adults and 3, going on 4, kids) about once a week and smaller family groups drop in several times a week. The space easily and comfortably absorbs everyone as they go about sharing in the activities of preparing and cleaning up meals, playing with the toys of the moment, working on personal tasks and hobbies and just finding a quiet corner to read or take a time out. ...

In Memoriam, Remberto "Bob" Gutierrez, AIA of Rio Group Architects, LLC. I considered Bob a good friend. He was a fellow San Antonian and a very good architect that was taken too soon. He was always willing to share his advice and knowledge with me. I think about him often.
