JP Emery, AIA, NCARB

As Co-Director of the Lifestyle studio in Gensler’s Seattle office and Senior Living Practice Area Leader for the firm’s Northwest region, JP leads teams and clients in designing experiences that address how we live, play, age, and tell stories about our lives. Since beginning his education in architecture, JP has studied the relationship between aging, how we reside, and the built environment. He has led teams in the development of award-winning senior living and residential communities that enhance the lives of residents and integrate into the neighborhoods of which they are a part.

JP’s architectural approach encompasses every phase from conceptual design to project closeout, building lasting client relationships along the way. His dedication to creating exceptional environments stems from a personal conviction — having witnessed uninspiring and dispiriting designs, he is committed to crafting alternatives that inspire.

JP is a licensed architect in Washington and Oregon and has NCARB certification. He has a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Arizona and a Master of Business Administration from Pinchot University.
