Jake Davis


Jake is a registered Architect with 10+ years of industry experience.

Jake loves designing spaces as much as he loves getting to know the people he’s designing them for. With a highly collaborative process amongst flowing conversations, he works with you to create the space you’ve been searching for. 


Kate McGough


Kate is not an architect.

Sadly, she cannot help you design your building. What she does do is assist Jake in all things branding and design (the graphic kind) — art directing, document designing, content-creating, and making Place of Space look as good as the service is.
