Jones Studio is an architecture, interior design, public art, and planning firm based in the Phoenix Metro area, widely recognized for designing beautiful, resilient buildings that honor their place and purpose. Founded in 1979 by Eddie Jones, FAIA, the studio has grown through decades of thoughtful leadership and creative excellence. In June 2025, after nearly four decades of guiding the practice, Neal Jones, FAIA, retired. Today, the firm is led by President Jacob Benyi, AIA, and Principal Designer Brian Farling, AIA—co-owners who bring a shared vision and deep commitment to innovation, sustainability, and design integrity.

The rich history of our studio is embedded in all that we do, but the relentless pursuit of innovation remains a driving force behind our work. We see each project as a new adventure and a new opportunity to create architecture that is timeless and generous. We understand that our impact goes beyond the building—from the land we touch to the people we engage. Sustainability, resiliency, and wellness are at the heart of our work and integral to every project. In all that we do, we seek to give back more than we take.

Jones Studio’s work has garnered more than 240 design awards for more than 70 projects, including the national AIA Design Honor Award for Architecture and the GSA Design Excellence Program Honor Award in Architecture. We have been recognized repeatedly for advancing sustainable design with 17 Arizona Forward Environmental Excellence Awards and six APS Energy Awards. The studio’s ability to create strong teams has resulted in five AIA Arizona Goodwin Awards for outstanding collaborative effort between a project’s architect, contractor, and owner. Jones Studio has also received the AIA Arizona and the AIA Western Mountain Region’s Firm of the Year Award.
