ABOUT JAMES WHEELER

James Wheeler began his architectural design career in 1987. He has direct experience in all phases of architectural practice on a wide range of project types. His experience includes facility and program planning, master planning, project management, site selection, construction documents, and construction administration/observation.

After receiving his Bachelor of Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley in 1987, James moved to San Diego and began working with his father, the late Richard George Wheeler, one of San Diego's most well known and respected Architects.

In 1992 James Wheeler founded his own architectural practice, a small studio dedicated to maintaining the benefits of a small firm while providing full service design by affiliating with specialists in various disciplines. Starting out with small residential remodel projects, James soon was designing and building custom homes. In 1994 he began providing design services for Health Care Group (now ActivCare Living), a company that builds, owns, and operates senior living facilities nationwide. 3 decades later this relationship continues, and James has designed senior living campuses of all sizes. In association with ActivCare Living, James has developed an award winning, prototype memory care facility.
