John Shoesmith, AIA, LEED AP

PRINCIPAL

John believes that design principles behind making better places for elders are the same ones underlying all good design. After witnessing his grandmother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s, John became interested in design for aging. He has dedicated his career to improving the environments in which elders live. His design work balances functional, programmatic and aesthetic requirements against the unique needs of each user. john@shoesmithcox.com

Steve values collaboration, and truly excels in stimulating arenas where people and ideas flourish. As an advocate and conduit for his clients, he quickly translates their goals to go beyond expectations.  As a designer, Steve often looks to the honesty and simplicity of industrial and agricultural architecture, seeking fresh connections between buildings, communities, the land and the environment. steve@shoesmithcox.com
