Thank you to Red+Rio Magazine for featuring the work of Jeff Garnett Architect in its inaugural issue.
The edition spotlighted the 2023 AIA Fort Worth Design Award for the JGA studio in Glen Rose, Texas, as well as Garnett’s modern ranch style portfolio.
Excerpt from the story:
Q: Your emphasis on outdoor space is evident in your designs. Can you elaborate on the importance of outdoor spaces in your projects and how they contribute to the overall experience?
A: Outdoor spaces are integral to all my designs. Whether it's a remote ranch, lake house, or an urban infill project, I start by thinking about the outdoor space — often the back porch. The back porch is the heart of the home in my opinion. From there, I’ll work in both directions: from the outside, integrating the architecture into the landscape, and from the inside, focusing on the views beyond and the feeling they give to the interior space.
For me, the goal with each project is to create a retreat where clients can unwind and connect with nature. Even in compact settings like 110 Walnut Street, the outside space plays a pivotal role in enhancing that overall experience.
