JMA is one of the most prolific modular designers in the pacific Northwest.
Featured Modular Projects:
cubix North Park | Seattle, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) designed Cubix North Park, an award-winning, transit-oriented modular mixed-use development for NexGen Housing Partners along Aurora Avenue North in Seattle. The project delivers 101 micro-living residential units, two retail spaces, and seven live/work units, and was the first modular project of its kind approved by the Seattle Design Review Board.
The building utilizes 36 volumetric modular units to house 93 micro-studios, significantly reducing construction duration, site disruption, and transportation costs. Cubix North Park was recognized as a NAIOP WA Night of the Stars Finalist for Multi-Family Residential Urban Development of the Year and received an Honorable Mention from the Modular Building Institute for Best Permanent Modular Housing Over 10,000 SF.
cubix at Othello modular apartments | Seattle, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) designed Cubix at Othello, a six-story modular residential development for NexGen Housing Partners located adjacent to the Othello Light Rail Station in Seattle. The project includes 85 residential units, ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments.
Technical innovations include shared wet-wall construction, integrated accessibility strategies, streamlined MEP routing, and a drag-strut structural system that eliminates traditional hold-downs, simplifying fabrication and installation. Cubix at Othello received the NAIOP WA Night of the Stars Award for Multi-Family Residential Urban Development of the Year – Less Than 100 Units.
Oldivai Modular Townhomes | Spokane, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) developed the Oldivai Modular Townhomes as part of a workforce housing program leveraging infill redevelopment and modular construction to increase housing density near major employment centers.
Designed as a repeatable modular townhouse prototype, the Oldivai program transforms vacant and underutilized sites into small-scale multifamily developments, typically ranging from four to twenty units per site. Standardized modular templates reduce construction risk, shorten schedules, and lower overall project costs while preserving neighborhood character.
Calgary Modular condominums | Calgary, alberta
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) designed this modular condominium prototype for an urban site in Calgary, Alberta, featuring a three- to four-story residential building with up to 40 units.
The project utilizes wood-framed modular construction over a below-grade concrete garage, with approximately 85% of the units configured as two-bedroom residences offering up to 900 square feet of living space. The design demonstrates the adaptability of modular construction for market-rate condominium development.
Linden Modular Apartments | Seattle, WA
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) conducted a modular feasibility and conversion study to transition the Linden Apartments from a traditional site-built midrise into a modular mixed-use development.
The proposed design includes a Type V-A, five-story wood-frame structure over a Type I-A podium, accommodating 147 residential units along with retail, parking, and service spaces. The study evaluated module sizing, stacking strategies, structural systems, and podium integration to validate modular delivery without sacrificing density.
Thomas Jefferson Apartments | Sunnyvale, ca
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) partnered with US Prefab to develop a modular senior housing solution utilizing prefabricated wall panel systems.
Panels were fabricated in a controlled factory environment, assembled into modules at satellite yards, and transported to the site for installation. This hybrid modular approach improved quality control, reduced construction duration, and minimized neighborhood disruption - key priorities for senior housing developments.
UNION 93 MODULAR APARTMENTS | MERIDIAN, ID
Jackson | Main Architecture, P.S. (JMA) designed Union 93, a large-scale modular mixed-use residential development in Meridian, Idaho.
The project comprises two buildings totaling approximately 330 residential units across 620,000 SF of buildable area, with Type I-A podium parking levels supporting modular construction above. Podium courtyards, amenity spaces, and street-facing retail along Broadway Avenue enhance the urban experience, while a dedicated railroad easement provides fire access and circulation.
