About

Founding principal Jeff Thaxton, AIA, runs Momentum Architecture, Inc. from 3460 Ingraham St, Suite B, in Pacific Beach, 92109, designing residential, multi-family, and commercial projects. Thaxton holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Woodbury University earned in 2008 and a Master of Architecture in Real Estate Development from Woodbury completed in 2010. He spent eleven years at global architecture firm Gensler, where he worked as a job captain and later architect on large-scale San Diego projects before launching his own practice. His real-estate-development degree means the firm advises on project feasibility, zoning compliance, and return on investment alongside schematic design and agency permitting. Clients who need interior finishes and furniture selection alongside their architectural plans can work with Allito Spaces - Interior Design on Turquoise St. Momentum designs single-family custom homes, ADUs, multi-family housing, mixed-use buildings, and commercial tenant improvements with a focus on indoor-outdoor living suited to San Diego's coastal climate. The firm produces schematic drawings, design development packages, construction documents, and permit-ready submittals for San Diego's Development Services Department. The studio's website describes a team using natural materials, site-specific analysis, and cross-ventilation strategies to reduce mechanical cooling loads in coastal-zone homes. Property owners ready to build can reach Armstrong Builders in Pacific Beach for general contracting on architect-drawn residential plans. Momentum serves homeowners in Pacific Beach, Crown Point, and Mission Beach from its Ingraham St location near Mission Bay. Thaxton started his career drafting for a landscape maintenance company and took night classes at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo before transferring to Woodbury, a path he has discussed publicly in industry interviews.
