Jeff Gillway runs a design-intensive and agile full-service architectural studio based in southwest Washington, DC. He takes a pragmatic and open-minded approach to developing creative solutions where ideas meet circumstance, propelled by participatory collaboration between clients, designers, and builders.

Areas of expertise include:

  • Cultural spaces

  • Commercial interiors

  • Single-family residential

  • Multifamily residential

  • Adaptive reuse

  • Jeff is a native midwesterner, although he has spent the majority of his career splitting time between Brooklyn, NY and Washington, DC. His work is driven by narrative, informed by the people and places of a particular project. Jeff believes architecture occurs at the intersection of art and function, and his process strives to create beautiful spaces that are true to context, timeless, rich in texture, environmentally conscious, and atypical in approach. Above all, his spaces tell a story. His tactile approach to design is informed by both his design tenure at studios in Europe and New York, as well as his background as a design / build contractor.

    Jeff is a registered architect, certified by NCARB, and a member of the American Institute of Architects.
