Jim's interest in architecture started as a boy while making driftwood forts during seaside holidays on BC's west coast, touring construction sites with his city planner father and, later, working summers as a carpenter framing houses.
After receiving a masters in architecture degree at the University of Oregon, Jim became a registered architect in British Columbia in 1988 and honed his skills over thirty years at several firms including Henriquez & Partners and Davidson Yuen Partners in Vancouver and Merrick Architecture in Victoria.Project work during this period included large scale urban residential-mixed use developments, non-profit housing, heritage building adaptive re-use, residential care facilities, schools and libraries.
In 2014 Jim established his own practice, James Kerr Architect, in order to provide hands-on design services to discerning clients and to focus on small to mid-sized projects including single family and multi-unit residential, urban infill and heritage building rehabilitation-restoration work.
