Jahn/ Unbounded by convention/ energized by the future

Over the past year, our studio brought together staff, alumni, clients, and friends to reflect on our legacy and imagine the next chapter in our 60-year journey. Today, we are energized to share this vision with you across our social media platforms and on our new website, jahn.studio.

This announcement is not just about unveiling a new visual identity—it represents the beginning of a different approach to how we speak about our practice. Jahn, the brand, is synonymous with its extraordinary output and yet greater than the buildings themselves. Our brand is the sum of our people, our ideas, our buildings. It comes through in sketches and on business cards. It is attitude, language, point of view. In this spirit, our new identity makes space for our body of work to speak for itself. Visually, it suggests that something else is coming—that the studio is poised for whatever comes next.

The untimely death of Helmut Jahn was tragic and challenging for me personally—and for the practice that bears his name. Our renewed purpose and identity are a tribute to his legacy—his imagination, his determination, his daring spirit. They embody the ideals that Helmut imparted through the optimism of his words: “The future is always right, even when perceived wrong. Don’t predict it, but make it possible.”

Together with our talented and diverse team and partners, we will continue to embrace a collaborative approach to creating authentic architecture that positively impacts the environments and communities it inhabits. We are not only sharing this next chapter with our closest friends but with the wider architectural and design community, encouraging everyone to join us in transcending boundaries with a relentless desire to do, dare, design.

On behalf of the studio,

Evan Jahn, President
