JCJ Architecture, an architecture, planning and interior design firm, announced its expansion into the Las Vegas market. The firm, which has been in operation since 1936, has led hundreds of gaming and hospitality projects across the U.S. and internationally. JCJ’s new Las Vegas location marks the firm’s ninth office.
The Las Vegas-based team is led by Design Principal and Managing Director Robert Gdowski, AIA, who returns to Las Vegas, where he previously served as director of design for Marnell Corrao Associates, before relocating to China to oversee HOK’s hospitality architecture practice in Asia, formerly BBG-BBGM’s Shanghai studio.
Gdowski’s career spans work for clients such as Caesars, SLS, Wynn, Pinnacle, Atlantis, Four Seasons, Marriott and Hilton. He brings extensive international leadership as a design-oriented architect and planner who has a unique understanding of luxury hospitality, gaming and mixed-use developments.
“This expansion has been a long time coming for JCJ,” said Gdowski. “We’ve hand-picked a best-in-class team that has proven themselves in the Las Vegas market and will lead our clients to success. Each is uniquely qualified, not only by proficiency in project design, management and delivery, but also by a drive toward innovation, an entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering commitment to excellence in client service.”
JCJ’s multifaceted Las Vegas team is reflective of the firm’s holistic approach, representing a balance of architecture, interior design and planning. In addition to their collective knowledge of the local and regional market, the team brings a variety of robust capabilities, including experience from having worked as part of owner/operator teams.
“As an epicenter of gaming and hospitality innovation, the resurgence of the Las Vegas market presents a tremendous opportunity for JCJ to continue our tradition of servicing clients and delivering high impact, experience-driven environments,” said Peter Stevens, president of JCJ Architecture. “Beyond gaming and hospitality, we look forward to bringing our skills and services related to education, civic, arts and cultural projects to the broader community.”
JCJ’s Las Vegas office is located at 6847 Ponderosa Way, Las Vegas, NV 89118.
