about the architect
Jennifer Healy Wood earned her Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin
in 1997 and her B.S. in Environmental Design from the University of Houston in 1995. During undergraduate
school, Jennifer worked for Milton Architects, a small firm in Houston focusing on residential design. After
graduate school, she worked at Graeber, Simmons & Cowan and later Barnes Architects (Barnes, Gromatsky, Kosarek).
In 1999, she spent a year in San Francisco working for another small residential firm and studying for her
licensing exams. Jennifer earned her architecture license in 2000.
On returning to Austin, Jennifer decided to focus on residential projects. She started her own residential design
firm, Healy Wood Architecture, in 2001. Her first project was her own house. Acting as both architect
and sole general contractor, she designed and built the house in 14 months at a cost of just under $110/sf. As a
native Texan schooled in Modernist thought, she believes her work to be very representative of her
philosophy of a modern design that is responsive to its site and appropriate to Central Texas.
