Jonathan Bowser, AIA, has practiced architecture for twenty-five years, working with leading architectural firms in New York City and Chicago prior to founding his own firm in 1999. Jonathan draws upon his extensive experience in architectural practice and construction administration, combined with a collaborative design process, to provide clients with elegant, comfortable, and efficiently produced environments honed to their individual needs and dreams.

Jonathan Bowser Architect has successfully completed dozens of architectural projects in New York City and the metropolitan area over the past ten years. Residential projects include renovations and combinations of many condominium and co-op residences, as well as single-family houses and house additions; commercial projects include media production studios, showrooms, and health spas.

Recent projects include a five-bedroom house and gardens in the Bahamas; a new Soho showroom for the Italian furniture company Moroso, in collaboration with Studio Urquiola; an Olympic-level fencing instruction facility in Midtown Manhattan; and a complete gut renovation – condominium conversion and additions to an historic brownstone in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

Past project team experience includes the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and the Gagosian Gallery in Soho (with Richard Gluckman Architects); Barneys New York / 61st & Madison (with Peter Marino Architect); MTV Networks Executive Offices at Times Square (with Wormser + Associates); and many residential renovations and new construction projects.

A Registered Architect in New York, and member of the American Institute of Architects, Jonathan holds the degrees Master of Architecture from Columbia University, New York City, and Bachelor of Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has been an invited academic juror at Pratt Institute, City College NY, and University of Illinois-Chicago. Jonathan has also been a guest design adviser at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York City.

Jonathan’s work has been published in Progressive Architecture, Interior Design, Chicago Architecture Annual, Terence Conran’s Kitchen Book, and Columbia Abstract; and his model kitchen design can be seen as the computer-generated kitchen backgrounds in television commercials for Trident gum. He also enjoys his post as a member and architectural adviser of the Design and Construction Committee for the Prospect Park Alliance, Brooklyn, helping to oversee both new construction such as the upcoming $60,000,000 Lakeside Center, and restoration projects within the vast Olmsted-designed urban park.

Always interested in the shape of the future, Jonathan looks forward to the continuing integration of emerging disciplines, such as sustainable design and building information modeling, into the practice to help meet the challenges of building in our changing global environments and economies.
