Jay Hargrave Architecture

Jay has been designing and constructing buildings since 1991. Growing up he worked in the family business rigging and racing sailboats. The simple form of the sailboat hull, born out of the discipline of fluid dynamics, decks designed for crew efficiency, and rigging components out of stainless steel provided Jay the seed that would grow into acumen for architecture. Rational form, designing for human efficacy, and detail and craft are intrinsic to realizing great design. Jay graduated from the University of Texas in 1990 with high honors after completing a thesis documenting his experiences in southern Mexico where he spent time with families learning how they lived.
