Our founding principals John Jackson, AIA and Bob Galloway, AIA began working together in college and name among their early mentors AIA Gold Medalists Fay Jones, Charles Moore, and Cambridge Seven Associates. John worked and studied under both Jones and Moore during his early career, and their rich legacy of distinctive American architecture continues to inform our studio’s design sensibilities. Bob gained a wealth of experience working on educational, athletic, commercial, community, aquarium, and transportation facilities early in his career at Cambridge Seven Associates, Inc. in Massachusetts. The American Institute of Architects awarded Cambridge Seven the 1993 Gold Medal, while Bob was serving the firm as an associate in charge of their technical review process.
     In 1997 John and Bob began their practice in Austin, and have maintained a 12 to 16 member staff since 2002. Our firm size allows direct principal involvement on each project, offering our clients all the experience and expertise of a large firm, in the personal attention and service of a small firm. In 2009 Ponciano Morales III, AIA joined forces with the JGA team after serving as president of Morales & Associates, Architects, Inc. for the previous fifteen years. Ponciano brings to our team 40 years of experience working on public, commercial, and university projects in Texas.
