What Jeffrey Beers International does

Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) is a New York-based, privately held architecture and interior design studio founded in 1984 by Jeffrey Beers after nearly a decade working with I.M. Pei. The firm delivers full-service architecture, interior design, and space planning across five verticals — Hotels & Resorts, Restaurants & Bars, Residential, Entertainment, and Collaborations — serving enterprise clients including luxury hotel chains (Four Seasons, Fairmont/Accor, Hard Rock International, Fontainebleau, Atlantis Resorts, Marriott's Renaissance), high-end residential developers (Extell, Hines, Cottonwood Group, Principal Global Investors), celebrity chefs (Gordon Ramsay, Todd English), and entertainment brands (Roc Nation, Texas Live!, Costa Crociere). Project work spans intimate restaurant interiors to flagship hospitality and residential developments with construction values up to $1.6 billion (Atlantis Sanya).

JBI's core technical capabilities center on custom fixture and millwork design, material specification across marble, wood, metals, and specialty glass, and spatial planning for luxury environments. The studio also generates ancillary licensing revenue through design collaborations with manufacturers — the Immersion glass tile collection with AKDO, the Regatta outdoor furniture collection with Walters Wicker, the Ajiro Burst of Happiness wallcovering with Maya Romanoff, and a textile line with LebaTex. Following the March 2024 death of founder Jeffrey Beers, leadership transitioned to three new Partners (Tim Rooney, Nora Liu-Kanter, Michael Pandolfi), with COO Julia Choi, CFO Jeffrey Ashey, and Chief Development Officer Justin Beers (the founder's son). The firm operates from 250 Greenwich Street, New York, with global project delivery across North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.

Jeffrey Beers International (JBI) is an award-winning architecture and interior design studio that operates as a single, unified service offering rather than a platform-with-modules architecture. The studio's portfolio spans five core design disciplines: Hotels & Resorts, Restaurants & Bars, Residential, Entertainment, and Collaborations. Projects range from luxury hotel renovations (e.g., Fontainebleau Miami Beach, The Newbury Boston) and restaurant designs (e.g., Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen Las Vegas, Café Boulud New York) to high-end residential developments (e.g., 108 Leonard Tribeca, EchelonSeaport Boston) and entertainment venues (e.g., Texas Live!, Hard Rock Hotel New York). The Collaborations division encompasses design collaborations with partners such as AKDO (tile collections), Walters Wicker (furniture), and Maya Romanoff (wallcoverings).
