OJT was established in 2011 as a creative, expansive, and exploratory practice with a desire to contribute to contemporary discourse. The interests of the office center on topical issues impacting the built environment. This is represented on a variety of project categories, housing, in conventional and unconventional forms. The embrace and reworking of normative, overlooked, familiar, and otherwise modest or slight project types is a hallmark of their work.
The formulation of their work is grounded in the integration of situational conditions (e.g., urban environments, development objectives, regulatory overlays, historic subtexts, type derivations). Every project is conceived as belonging and contributing to its location, while communicating with a lineage of associative built work. All the work, regardless of scale and type, reflect spatial, formal and strategic particularities derived from these sensitivities. Its formal language is as consequence often recognizable yet idiosyncratic, incongruous, and uncanny.
OJT does architecture and urban design mostly but are experienced in, and offer services for many other affiliated design activities: planning (strategic, master, architectural, formbooks), interiors (furnishing, finishes, fixtures, equipment), graphic design (environmental graphics, signage, project specific marks, web work), development consulting (pre-dev analysis, project scoping, regulatory overviews, concept and strategy), historic preservation (tax-credits, building surveys), affordable housing (tax credits, strategy, opportunities), amongst other things.
Many of OJT's projects are focused in New Orleans, but also have projects around the country – with a regional concentration – and internationally. They work with a diverse and growing range of clients, including CDC’s, NDC’s, non-profit’s, institutions, government (local, state, federal), private developers, individuals and themselves (they develop projects on occasion, too).
Jonathan Tate is principal of OJT (Office of Jonathan Tate), an architecture and urban design practice in New Orleans. Along with their conventional architectural practice, the office engages in numerous design-related activities, including applied research, opportunistic planning, and strategic development. Their work has received numerous awards, including National AIA Housing Awards and the National AIA Honor Award in Architecture. The office has been recognized as an Emerging Voices by the Architectural League of New York, a Next Progressive by Architect Magazine, and a finalist for the international Architecture Review Emerging Architect Award. Tate is the recipient of the Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Tate is a graduate of Auburn University, where he was a participant at the Rural Studio, and Harvard University Graduate School of Design. He has taught at Tulane University, the Cooper Union and was most recently the Favrot Visiting Professor at Tulane University.
