Ruhl Jahnes Architects
About
Ruhl Jahnes Architects is a full-service architecture firm in Watertown specializing in warm, modern homes as well as commercial and institutional projects. The firm treats modern architecture as a philosophy rather than a style, aiming for spaces that are honest and direct but also comfortable and human-scaled. Its residential portfolio includes custom homes, lofts and apartments, and each design responds closely to the client’s way of living and to the specific site.
Sustainability shapes the approach: designs are site-specific and planned to maximize views, sunlight and airflow, with careful attention to detail and transparency in materials. Projects begin with conversations with the client and develop in an open studio where designers collaborate and contribute their individual strengths. Most work is in New England, though the firm has completed projects in Hawaii, St. Croix, North Carolina, Florida and Ohio. It grew out of predecessor firms Ruhl Studio and Ruhl Walker Architects.
