JAMAL WELLS ARCHITECT
Projects
In our recent architectural ventures, we transformed a Brooklyn residence into a multi-functional triplex and reenvisioned older rental units into modern, appealing living spaces. A previously unused retail area has been revitalized into an active community hub, while in Philadelphia, a unique transformation turned a tattoo parlor into a contemporary wellness center. Addressing urban food scarcity, our innovative mobile grocery initiative seamlessly combines functionality with thoughtful design.
These projects represent our dedication to enhancing urban life through sustainable, practical, and aesthetically pleasing architecture.
