Jones Studio is an architecture, interior design, public art, and planning firm in the Phoenix Metro area, known for designing beautiful, resilient buildings. Founded in 1979 by Eddie Jones, FAIA, the firm is led today by Jacob Benyi, AIA, President and Co-Owner, and Brian Farling, AIA, Principal and Co-Owner.

We see each project as a new adventure and a chance to create architecture that is timeless and generous. Sustainability, resiliency, and wellness are integral to every project, and we seek to give back more than we take. Our work has earned more than 270 awards, including the national AIA Design Honor Award for Architecture and the GSA Design Excellence Program Honor Award in Architecture.

That same spirit shapes how we work with each other. We collaborate across teams so everyone can contribute meaningfully, and we encourage mentorship at every stage of a career, empowering our people to lead. Our team teaches and lectures at architecture schools, volunteers expertise with local agencies and organizations, and stays engaged with groups like AIA Arizona, AIA Phoenix Metro, Arizona Forward, Valley Partnership, the Phoenix Community Alliance, and the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture. We know our impact spreads far beyond the drafting table, and we support our people in growing as both professionals and citizens.
