Jordan Architects
The staff at Phillip Jordan Architects works closely together in an open office environment to facilitate the free exchange of ideas. Our designs, while the responsibility of the project architect, are the products of the creative energies and knowledge of the entire design staff.
Phillip Jordan Architects draw upon a wealth of professional consultants to form a design team specifically tailored to meet the needs of any individual project. Each member of the team plays an important role in the design process for the benefit of the client. Our office provides the leadership necessary to coordinate the efforts of the client, contractor and members of the design team.
With LEED certified professionals on staff, we offer the additional dimension of providing energy efficient and environmentally sensitive design solutions.

About Us
Phillip Jordan Architects (PJA) was established in 1993 and founded on the principle that good clients beget good design opportunities and that a strong relationship between architect and client must be forged early in the process for the project to result in a product enjoyed by both user and designer.
Much of the firm’s success can be directly attributed to the clients it has had the privilege to work with over the years. With over 70% of PJA’s work being performed for repeat clients, the firm looks forward to continuing existing relationships and fostering new ones as it continues to move forward in the field of architecture, design, and project management.
PJA approaches design challenges in an innovative way, fully addressing each client’s program and unique challenges, the surrounding physical and natural environment and applicable codes. PJA’s commitment to create thoughtful, expressive and original design solutions will continue to be the cornerstone of its philosophy.

“Deaf people can do anything, except hear”. That quote is by I. King Jordan, the president of Galludet University. The times are changing along with out dated views of the deaf and their ability to perform in the hearing world.
Deaf people are presently found working in numerous field very successfully. Fields of work like the following: Accountants. Architects, Biologists, Carpenters, Farmers, Engineers, Consultants, Lawyers, Writers, and the list keeps growing.
Americans with Disabilities Act was signed in 1991 and now helps the disabled people through this law by forbidding discrimination. Parts of this law relate to employment. Employers must make reasonable changes so that equal access can be had for disabled people in the work place. For people with a hearing loss this can include steps such as providing interpreters and special telephone devices.
As far a positions of work for the deaf go, they can do any job they choose with a few extra tools. Deaf people can and do work in the hearing community, and they certainly enhance it with their many skills and talents. The deaf are becoming very much a part of the hearing community.
