PROFILE

Born and raised in Vancouver, Jack has a broad range of job experience and has traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East. In 1979, he was accepted into the UBC School of Architecture where he went on to graduate with Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Arts (History Major) degrees.

Jack has cultivated his own unique vision of architecture through his travel experiences. One trip that particularly effected him was his visit to the American Midwest to view the buildings of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1991 he spent several months traveling through Japan, where he gained not only an understanding of that country's unique culture, but also developed an appreciation of the unique design principles that have influenced numerous architectural talents who have been inspirational to him.

He currently works from his home studio in Richmond, B.C. where he resides with his wife and two young children.


PROCESS

The small size of Jack Falk Design Studio allows us to combine a traditional, service oriented approach to the design process along with computer technology. This enable us to stay actively involved with each project throughout the process. By working extremely close with both the owner and a selected contractor throughout the design process, we are able to guarantee that the owner's design expectations and budget remain compatible thus eliminating unpleasant surprises during construction.


DESIGN

We have no signature style, but do have a very specific approach to design which allows your homes to evolve from a thorough understanding of the clients' program and personalities, the site, the budget and appropriate examples of regional architecture. Our commitment to the process allows each project to develop its own unique set of concerns, ideas and images.
