Our Philosophy: Whole Community Design
People are always at the center. Whole Community Design™ is our guiding philosophy: a way of designing that begins not just with buildings, but the people who bring them to life. We deeply value places, but we value how people interact with them, move through them, and gather in them even more. Whole Community Design™ creates places that feel lived in, cared for, and connected—today and for generations to come. Whole Community Design™ is built on five essential principles:
Diversity
Authenticity
Environments where varied people, uses, and experiences coexist and enrich one another.
Solutions that respond to context— cultural, architectural, environmental.
Sustainability
Identity
Long-term resilience, environmental responsibility, and resource stewardship.
Design that strengthens the character and spirit of a place.
Inclusion Communities that welcome a wide range of residents, lifestyles, and stories.
What We Do
Architecture, Urban Design, & Planning We plan and design a variety of spaces. What unites our projects is a process that balances thoughtful, diligent planning with design-forward results—and that is relentlessly focused on people.

Our Process
Thoughtful planning. Intentional collaboration. Creative solutions. Designing vibrant communities requires a process grounded in inquiry, partnership, and technical rigor. We work hard to strike a careful balance between creativity and feasibility, innovation and attention to detail.
The work begins with a method Analytical We begin by listening—learning from the physical, social, and economic landscape as well as from those who occupy it.
Contextual We are steadfast in the belief that environmentally intelligent design, planning and building is essential to our world’s future.
Collaborative We approach clients, colleagues, and community partners from the same side of the table. Our work is strengthened by trust, transparency, and continuous dialogue.
Creative + Deliverable We balance bold design thinking with disciplined execution. Every concept must be buildable, efficient, and resilient—without sacrificing beauty.
Sustainable Our projects naturally incorporate sustainable principles through density, walkability, resource efficiency, and long-term durability. We look for meaningful ways to reduce the impact of our projects on the environment.
Featured Work
Highrise (7+ Stories) High-rise residential development demands sophisticated coordination of structural systems, building codes, vertical transportation, and market positioning. JHP brings experience in both market-rate and luxury high-rise projects, understanding how tower design, unit layouts, and amenity programming contribute to successful lease-up or sales. We work closely with structural and MEP engineers to optimize core placement and floor plates, maximizing leasable area while meeting code requirements.

Museum Place Highrise
Rising above Fort Worth’s Cultural District, One Museum Place (Block D) defines the skyline as a true vertical mixed-use landmark. Positioned at the intersection of University Drive and West 7th Street, the eight-story tower stacks public and private uses into a single, confident form—retail activating the street, Class A offices elevating the workday above the city, and luxury residences crowning the upper floors. Its sweeping curved glass facade announces a gateway presence for Museum Place, framing panoramic views of downtown, the 7th Street corridor, and the celebrated institutions of the Fort Worth Cultural District. The project establishes a rare, high-rise residentialover-office model within the Fort Worth Cultural District, elevating Museum Place as a premier destination to live, work, and engage the city. Its refined vertical mix strengthens the district’s urban edge and demonstrates how density and design can coexist in a culturally significant setting.

The Gupton
Conceived as an unbuilt design vision by JHP, The Gupton imagines a garden rising above Nashville’s transitional warehouse district. The tower is envisioned to grow lighter as it ascends–grounded at the street, then opening to glass, air, and sky. Terraces, rooftops, and green decks layer upward, framing sweeping downtown views and spaces for gathering, movement, and pause. Inside, expansive shared rooms and elevated homes with generous balconies suggest a community shaped by connection, daylight, and the experience of living above the city.
The Gupton reimagines its warehouse-district setting with a refined, nature-forward vision. Layered amenities and elevated outdoor spaces enrich daily life, foster connection, and frame Nashville’s skyline–realizing an aspirational, view-driven urban living experience.

Gallery on Turtle Creek establishes a confident high-rise presence that reshapes the Oak Lawn skyline, delivering elevated urban living while reinforcing density, walkability, and architectural distinction in a growing city district.
