About Jaycox Architects & Associates

Residential Architecture

The architectural design firm of Jaycox Architects & Associates was established in 1989 in the heart of historic San Marco Square in Jacksonville, Florida. We are members in good standing with the local, state, and national chapters of The American Institute of Architects and have been published in local and national publications. Our firm is organized into two teams using “Our Team Approach”. Each team specializes in either the design of original upscale Residential or Specialty Commercial projects. All of our designs are custom tailored to the specific requirements and expectations of our discriminating clientele. We take great pride in our dedication to exceptional quality, design versatility, attention to detail, and to total client satisfaction. With Principal involvement throughout the entire design process we represent the owner’s foremost interest from our initial meeting through final occupancy. Jaycox Architects & Associates has completed work throughout the southeast and internationally.

Our Philosophy

Our architectural philosophy is simple. The key to continued success is specialization. Teams of experts promote our goal of comprehensive, seamless project delivery from our client’s vision to their architectural reality.

Nate Labagh

Nate Labagh

Nathan M. Labagh, AIA, Partner and Principal, was born and raised on a farm in Ocala, Florida. His father was a builder and carpenter. Mr. Labagh received his Master of Architecture Degree and Historic Preservation Certificate from the University of Florida. He became a Florida Board licensed Architect in 2012 and gained substantial experience in various building types including commercial, medical, judicial, educational, and even large-scale aerospace industrial design. His true passion being residential. He loves to travel. He has studied architecture in most major cities around the world as well as their surrounding rural areas.

While he loves the city for its energy and great examples of refined architectural styles, he is always drawn to the rural vernaculars. The simple use of raw materials, thoughtful control of natural light, and the purposeful placement of buildings on a site. The architectural styles in these places are distinct and specific to each family. His upbringing and travel experience has greatly influenced the quality of his design process. Each client is unique, and their architecture should be their own. Let’s find yours.

Our Team Approach

The development of a team including the Owner, Architect, Interior Designer and Contractor or cost estimator is essential for a successful project. Having everyone involved helps to reduce the potential for errors or leaving out parts or pieces of the work. There are five phases to our approach:

Programming

This optional phase is used to develop a written list of wants and needs and a preliminary cost analysis. We have developed special software for programming residential projects. Larger commercial projects may require additional outside expertise.

Schematic Design

Sketching ideas for plans and architectural character from the approved Program. The budget is also revisited at this phase.

Design Development

Upon approval of a Schematic Design, the selection of materials and detailing of the entire project. The beginnings of computer drawing and many design sketches, followed by another review of the budget. This phase is heavily reliant on input from the entire team.

Construction Documents

The completion of the drawings and specifications for the project including all aspects of the design and the engineering. In this phase, the architect, interior designer and other consultants are documenting all the decisions made during schematics and design development in preparation for construction.

Construction Administration

The contractor prepares final cost of construction and a contract for construction is agreed upon between the Owner and the Contractor. During this phase, the Architect reviews the Contractors requests for payment, shop drawings from subcontractors, performs site observations, participates in construction meetings and project closeout.

Our design process can vary depending on each client’s requirements and we will specifically tailor it to one’s needs. Whether designing a new home or a new commercial building it is an exciting time led by our Principals through “Our Team Approach”
