Designing For a Brighter Future
The world needs good ideas, and people courageous enough to follow through with them. Designing to us, is more than just about aesthetics, but about how it affects the people that encounter our creations. How a person feels when they stand in a building, or an environment can either make them feel safe, or unsafe, inspired or uninspired. We aim to make each design matter to others!
Our Team
Jackson R. Durand
My name is Jackson Durand, I am the principal owner for Durand Architectural Engineering Inc. I am a native Californian, born and raised in Orange County. Shortly after I graduated from the Army & Navy Academy in Carlsbad, I began backpacking around the world from Europe to Asia, and South America. While traveling and living abroad I experienced the kaleidoscope of different life styles & cultural values that exist in our world, and pondered how I could bring some of that home with me. When I returned home, I moved over to the Islands of Hawai'i where I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Since then, I have worked with some of the top professionals in California on design build projects with the intentions to create livable art. While we are not a big firm, we are dedicated to excellence in our field. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the near future.
