Jason Hart, Architect

Founding Partner

Jason manages our operations in the Triangle area of North Carolina, bringing more than two decades of national and international experience to our practice. As the firm’s chief strategic thinker, Jason asks the tough “what if?” questions that help push projects to their highest potential. His strength of maintaining a wide perspective while seeing past the clutter, and evaluating alternative options, keeps the firm and its projects focused on the big picture.

Jason’s diverse experience ranges from homes to large multifamily, office, museum, civic structures, and preservation. Prior to forming ThoughtCraft with Chris, he was a project manager and designer for notable firms including Renzo Piano’s office in Paris, where he worked on the design of the widely-acclaimed Morgan Library and Museum, DiMella Shaffer, KMW, Paul Lukez in Massachusetts, and Takenaka in Japan. Jason holds a Master of Architecture degree from M.I.T., a Bachelor of Design degree from the University of Florida, and an Associate’s degree from St. Petersburg Junior College.

He is a member of the ULI Triangle Housing Committee, former chairman of the Chapel Hill Community Design Commission, and served as a Professor of Practice at four different universities over 18-years including NC State. In his free time, he enjoys playing with his family, biking, making artisanal chocolates, and woodworking with hand tools at the Woodwright’s School.
