Architecture is a word we hear often in real estate, but what does it really mean? In this episode of Modern Home Mastermind with beSpoke brokers, Shawna and Brittainy sit down with Eddie Jones, the founder of Jones Studio and one of the most respected architects in the Southwest, to get his take on exactly what should be considered "architecture".Eddie shares his early passion for design (starting at just six years old!), his thoughts on modernism, and the philosophy that guides his work. He also takes us on a journey through his recent travels to the Middle East, where he explored some of the world’s most fascinating structures—including Louis Kahn’s Parliament Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh.We then dive into one of Eddie’s most impactful projects: designing land ports of entry along the U.S. border. He details how Jones Studio went from designing a small visitor center to reshaping the way people experience border crossings. With millions of people and billions of dollars in trade passing through these ports, Eddie explains the architectural responsibility of creating spaces that reflect the dignity and efficiency of the U.S. government. He also shares a firsthand, boots-on-the-ground perspective on the reality of the southern border—one that challenges many of the political narratives we hear today.Beyond architecture, Eddie offers invaluable advice to young professionals about staying true to their ideals, regardless of financial struggles. He reminds us that passion, sincerity, and commitment lead to success in any field.We wrap up with a rapid-fire Q&A, where Eddie reveals his favorite project (hint: it’s always the next one!), his favorite piece of architecture (Basílica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona), and his must-visit travel destinations (spoiler: everywhere!).If you love architecture, design, or just great storytelling, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!📌 Chapters (rough estimate of timing):00:00 - Introduction01:00 - Recognition of the Visitor Center03:00 - Transition to Land Ports of Entry05:00 - Understanding Land Ports & Their Impact08:00 - The Mariposa Land Port Project & Its Importance10:00 - Winning the First Land Port Project12:00 - Navigating the 2008 Recession with a Major Project14:00 - Redefining Land Port Design & Expansion to More Projects17:00 - Misconceptions About the Southern Border20:00 - Ethical & Human-Centered Design at the Border22:30 - Architectural Philosophy & Staying True to Ideals25:00 - Defining Good Architecture Beyond High-End Design28:00 - Rapid Fire Questions (Favorite Projects, Architects, Travel, etc.)35:00 - Final Thoughts & ClosingYou can find Eddie at:Website:https://jonesstudioinc.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jonesstudioincInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/jones_studio/You can find beSpoke real estate at: Website:https://bespokephx.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bespoke.phx/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bespoke.phx/🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth conversations with the leading minds in modern architecture, building, and design!#ModernArchitecture #EddieJones #JonesStudio #ArchitecturalDesign #RealEstate #ModernMasterminds #ArchitecturePodcast

Welcome to the first episode of Modern Home Mastermind with beSpoke brokers! This first episode is going to be a little different. We were initially planning to have today’s guest come on an talk about all of his cool projects which we promise to do eventually, but in talking with him, we realized that we had more pressing issues to discuss. Today’s guest, Erik Peterson is the President of Phoenix Architecture. Erik is licensed to practice in many states in addition to Arizona, but the one that intrigues us most is California. In talking with Erik in preparation for our podcast, we asked him about his expansion to California and how the fires were affecting his clients. Erik mentioned that he has a number of clients affected by the wildfires and he said he feels uniquely poised to help people rebuild once the time comes to do so. Erik talks about the number of homes lost and the daunting task ahead of cleaning up the burn. Erik says he feels the architecture community is in a good place to be able to eventually help guide people through the permitting and rebuilding processes once the time comes to rebuild. 

Our hearts go out to those affected by the recent fires in Los Angeles, CA. Here are some links to resources for those in need and those who want to help:
