Susan H. Jones, a native of the Pacific Northwest with its seemingly endless
forests, founded atelierjones in Seattle some 20 years ago. This pioneering

reestablish this traditional building material in many countries. But the
office also designed many beautiful buildings, often developed in cooperation
with local communities.
