The Jenkins Group is a full-service architecture, interior design, and planning firm established in Itasca, Illinois, in 1978. The firm designs commercial, institutional, and government environments that are practical to build, responsible to operate, and shaped around the people who use them. Its approach favors durable, long-term design decisions over short-lived trends, and measures the success of a project by how well the finished space supports the work, business, and daily life that happen inside it.
From a single studio in the Chicago area, The Jenkins Group serves clients across the United States and overseas. The firm offers architectural design, interior design and branding, master site planning, space planning, and tenant build-out services. It also brings in-house 3D rendering and Matterport environment scanning, producing accurate digital twins of existing conditions that strengthen its renovation, adaptive reuse, and facility assessment work.
Every project is led by one of the firm's principals, each with decades of experience in architecture, interiors, or planning, supported by a long-tenured professional staff and a trusted network of engineering consultants. This structure keeps design intent, technical detail, schedule, and budget under consistent senior oversight from first concept through construction administration. It is also why so many of the firm's clients return.
Responsible, sustainable design is part of the firm's standard practice rather than an add-on. The Jenkins Group applies efficient building systems, daylighting, and economical, sustainable material selections across its projects, and keeps LEED-accredited professionals on staff. The aim is direct: buildings that cost less to operate, last longer, and serve their occupants and surroundings well.
