Jacunski Humes Architects

What Jacunski Humes Architects does

Jacunski Humes Architects, LLC is a privately held, full-service architectural firm founded in May 1996 and headquartered in Berlin, Connecticut. The firm specializes in public safety facility planning and design — police stations, fire stations, fire headquarters, emergency operations centers, and combined police/fire facilities — and claims the most active public safety facility design practice in New England, with Brian Humes having personally participated in the design of over 100 municipal police facilities across six states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New York). The practice is built around a core staff of five licensed architects and three LEED Accredited Professionals, supplemented by a national network of specialty consultants assembled per project; this allows the firm to tailor teams to scope rather than carry full-time bench across all disciplines.

The firm operates four integrated service lines: Public Safety Facility Design (the core specialization), Municipal Facility Design (town halls, community centers, senior centers, libraries), Educational Facility Design (K-12 and university projects including new construction and renovations), and Exterior Restoration & Roofing (including BIPV solar electric roofing systems and building envelope consulting). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with individual project budgets historically ranging from $148,000 to over $47 million and engagement timelines of 2-5 years per project.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with community-led referral generation: direct engagement with municipal leadership (Police Chiefs, Fire Chiefs, First Selectmen, Building Committees) through RFP and project-based consulting, supplemented by reputation-driven referrals and visibility through professional affiliations with the American Institute of Architects, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and regional Police Chiefs Associations. The firm is owned by its founding and active partners (Brian Humes and Mark Allen, with co-founder W. Albert Jacunski having retired), with no external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiaries.
