With a career dedicated to the advancement of environmentally responsive architecture, James Marcotte's approach is based on developing thoughtful and creative design solutions that challenge and exceed performance goals. As a LEED® accredited professional, he has experience working on Platinum- and Gold-certified projects.
He received a professional degree in architecture from the University of Kentucky, where he also studied music performance and French. As an undergraduate, he held teaching assistantships in several architecture courses and was a fellow in the Gaines Fellowship in the Humanities. His Fellowship thesis, entitled "Spatial Melodies: Creating Architectural Space with Music," explored the use of sound and composition to generate the perception of architectural space. An underlying interest in the intersection of music and architecture informs much of his work.
