It has always been Jacob’s single goal since elementary school to pursue his degree in architecture. “I have always been fascinated in understanding what is revealed by a building. As a teenager, I dragged my mom through the Grand Rapids Parade of Homes to discover all the new and impressive trends in residential design.” It was seeing 42° North at these very tours that led Jacob to work for them today.
Jacob began working at 42° North in 2024 after obtaining his Master of Architecture degree.
Jacob joins 42° North with an extensive background designing large multi-family projects around the country and the realization that he has completed a long, single-minded journey to get here.
“Working at 42° North has given me the insight of what quality projects look like and the process it takes to get there. What is unique is our intentionality: we care about the everyday needs and rhythms in our clients’ lives. This results with how best to support them through architecture.”
“At 42° North I am able to help with the design process of custom residential homes which allows me to circle back to exactly why I fell in love with architecture in the first place.”
