Jim Saisakorn
Project Architect
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Jim left in 1991 to study architecture at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From 1994-1995, he took a sabbatical and moved to Switzerland where he studied architecture at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Jim returned to CMU to obtain his Bachelor of Architecture degree with an additional major in French (May 1996) and graduated with College and University Honors. At that time, he was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa Honorary Society.
Since moving to New York City in 1996, he has worked on a number of small to large scale corporate and retail projects for clients such as Coty Inc., Ralph Lauren, and AOL. In 1999, the design of AOL's New York corporate offices received an award from the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He has also developed a strong portfolio of published modern high end residential projects in the New York City metro area, Maine, Idaho, and Florida. His work includes renovations of apartments and lofts as well as new construction of townhouses and homes.
Jim joined Turett Collaborative Architects in June of 2004 bringing along 8 years of experience in architectural practice and an acute sensibility to the details of modern architecture. He is a fully registered architect and has been licensed to practice architecture in the State of New York since 2001. He has also been a visiting critic to the School of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University since 2002.
