Jonathan J. McKim is a self-motivated and independent architect in private practice with over 20 years of experience in all phases of design, construction documentation, peer reviews, permitting, and construction administration, with projects running the gamut from single- and multi-family residential in the U.S. through high tech data centers/mission critical infrastructure, telecom IDFs/MDFs, and SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) in the Middle East.

Detailed-oriented and available on a 1099-contract basis for project specific or on-going six- or 12-month terms to develop construction documents via REVIT-BIM, permit packages, QA reviews, general contractor assist/constructability reviews, data center site feasibility studies and entitlements, high-rise facade inspections via SF-DBI/AB110, civilian contractor for hire (Middle East preferred with minimum 12-month commitment), pre- or post-purchase facility assessments, disaster relief deployment (pro-bono), etc.

Jonathan is comfortable working in both modern and traditional aesthetics, having been greatly influenced by the work of the late Louis I. Kahn while still in architecture school and later, the likes of Robert A.M. Stern, which led to his having developed a deeper appreciation of classical design and thus he advocates for the Rebuild Penn Station movement - where he is admittedly biased in advocating for the rebuilding of the original McKim, Mead & White design.

Jonathan was born and raised in Chester Country, Pennsylvania, holds a five-year professional B-Arch from Temple University, where he started working in the A/E/C profession in 1998 at Temple’s Office of Planning & Design, and currently lives and maintains an office in San Francisco, California.
