E.J. Mead, PrincipalArch 11
When Arch11 principal E.J. Meade heard Mario Botta speak about architecture’s ability to “build a site” it sparked in him the idea that architecture can reveal a site to allow users to discover aspects of it they might not otherwise notice. This awareness of the power of place and context, along with his undergraduate study of philosophy at Colby College and years of hands-on building experience continues to inform E.J.’s practice, which has grown from two employees to twenty over two decades.
Founded by E.J. and fellow principal James Trewitt, Arch11 has spent the better part of the past 23 years regenerating the salient tenets of modernism – including enduring form, authentic material use and details, and
solutions that dissolve the duality of interior and exterior space – in its artisanal and highly sustainable approach to design. While residential projects are the mainstay of Arch11’s portfolio, over the years the firm also has designed award-winning restaurants, and mixed-use, retail and office buildings that consistently garner awards along with regional and national media recognition. Arch11 was honored as Colorado AIA North’s Firm of the Year, has received 22 AIA design awards. Most recently, Colorado’s premier shelter magazine, Colorado Homes and Lifestyles, recently
recognized E.J. among the state’s stand-out design practitioners with its 2017 Circle of Excellence Award.
E.J. studied architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle and earned his Master of Architecture degree from the University of Colorado in 1991. As part of his practice, E.J. was a senior instructor at CU’s College of
Architecture and Planning from 1993-2005. He is still involved in the academic community, regularly participating as an invited design critic at the University of Colorado and other universities around the country. E.J. has presented the work of Arch11 at numerous education and cultural institutions including the Denver Art Museum. His thoughtful design critique is in high demand for award juries throughout the US. Additionally, Arch11’s work is regularly published in a variety of design magazines and professional journals.
