JOBE CORRAL ARCHITECTS specializes in highly crafted and well-built residential structures, using authentic materials. We also selectively design civic and commercial spaces. In all cases, our approach is rooted in the beauty of the site and in the experience of place. Consideration of the individual moments and experiences of daily life is a theme in our design approach that brings a warmth and texture to our projects. We work with the knowledge that a great project springs from a deep understanding of the site, a respectful and transparent relationship with our clients, and a full comprehension of the program. Paying close attention to these factors informs our process and allows us to create a unique concept and spirit for every project. Construction quality is paramount in every Jobe Corral project, and a strong contractor-team collaboration is integral to the overall process – designing structures that are built to last.
Our work can be found in both urban and rural settings, from the acclaimed Modern Rammed-Earth House in the Texas Hill Country, to the complete renovation of an historic 19th century headmaster’s home overlooking Austin, and a prestigious Trail Foundation project along the Butler Trail on Lady Bird Lake in Austin. Designing for the site, for the light, and for how our clients actually live in and use a space are all defining aspects of the firm. Our work resonates with clients for whom the experience of place is essential. Regardless of project size or ambition, we are also a valuable resource early in site selection and the project-feasibility process. Jobe Corral Architects is 100% women-owned-and-operated and based in central Austin.

CAMILLE URBAN JOBE, AIA
Camille Jobe, AIA, practiced architecture for 20 years before joining Ada Corral to form Jobe Corral Architects. Her experience includes an array of project types, from commercial and educational spaces to hospitality and lifestyle projects. A native Texan, Camille’s awareness of architecture and great houses came early in her life, having grown up in a house designed by a great architect. Her formal journey to the drawing board and residential design began in the Northeast where she first studied engineering at Boston University, followed by Environmental Design at Texas A&M. She then went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Architecture from The University of California at Berkeley, where she won the Berkeley AIA Certificate of Merit Award. She became an adjunct faculty at Berkeley and practiced architecture in San Francisco at the Modernist firm, Holt Hinshaw, before going solo with Urban Jobe Architecture. This broad training has influenced and informed Camille’s mature eye for design and especially keen understanding for how complex and challenging ideas can be built. Camille is a registered architect in Texas. Settled in Austin with her family since 2003, she is an active leader in the community, including Leadership Austin, The Junior League of Austin, and The Austin Rowing Club. Currently she is serving as the 2019 Practice Commissioner for the AIA Austin chapter. Occasionally, she also teaches design studio at The University of Texas at Austin as adjunct faculty. Outside the office, Camille is an avid cook, and loves to host a good dinner party. She enjoys spending time with her husband and two sons, and rowing on Ladybird Lake with her crew. |
