Learn more about Jacobs: The industries we serve What our clients are saying Client features Our project gallery Our commitment to safety Our sustainability philosophy Architecture & interiors Striking the right balance. Architectural and interior design is the combination of our clients’ needs and values, art and technology, community and place – all coming together creatively to build environments that enrich people’s lives and elevate the human spirit. To do this, Jacobs focuses on promoting design excellence rather than a signature style, because our design response for each project arises out of the specifics of its site, program, and physical and cultural context. Our approach is thoughtful and collaborative; each design and construction stakeholder plays an important role in helping us derive the right the solution to delight our clients. In designing interiors Jacobs aims to inspire and reflect our clients’ identities. We familiarize ourselves with their needs, histories, brand identities, work styles, and management philosophies to balance artistic expression with functional, pragmatic considerations. Jacobs integrates all of our services to create facilities that meet clients' needs both now and in the future. We put all our talents, ideas and experiences toward striking the right balance between achieving unequaled building solutions and meeting our clients’ business needs, goals, and ultimate visions.
