Studio
JACK All Terrain Studio exists to create connected environments. Natural and readily available materials are our vocabulary, and recomposition is our method—taking familiar materials, forms, and ways of building and putting them together differently.
Our goal is to use our process to create work that feels grounded and understandable, and joyful and unexpected. Something can be beautiful without being confusing. We like to challenge convention through a process that is fun, sometimes less efficient, but always honest.
The name comes from two quotes — "a jack of all trades, master of none" and "I don't know jack sh*t." We try to stay between both head spaces, looking to learn, while accepting what we don't know.
All Terrain Studio (ATS) comes from the experience of an all-terrain vehicle. This describes how our philosophy can move across scales—from a landscape or building, to an interior, or to a chair. We work with exploration, functionality, and adaptiveness in mind— from site to furniture to material detail.
