His professional experience covers a diverse range of project types with an emphasis on modern residences and restaurants. Prior to studying architecture Jim Zack was a journeyman carpenter and contractor in his hometown of Carmel, designing and building his first residential development when he was 23. The current emphasis of his firm is on completing well crafted, design focused design/build projects.

Jim received both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley and is a California licensed architect and contractor. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and partner, Lise de Vito, and their two kids. When not designing and building, you can often find him on two wheels – cycling or racing motorcycles.

If you are interested in Placetailor helping you with a project, Declan would be the guy to talk to.  Declan Keefe is LEED AP, a certified passive house consultant, and like everyone at Placetailor, he is a designer as well as a builder.

Placetailor developed from a design/build company to a company that offers design, development and construction – or, as Declan calls it, a plug and play business model.

Declan has a lot of experience in finding land, getting projects off the ground and placemaking and is happy to share his expertise step by step with you! His marketing strategies go beyond websites and business cards and could be rather called a philosophy than a strategy.
