Dwight Mason grew up travelling the world and ultimately found his way to California where he earned his undergraduate degree from SCI-Arc (Southern California Institute of Architecture). After graduating, Dwight decided to continue his travels and broaden not only his skill set, but his design outlook as well. Dwight’s travels led him to New York where he joined a small company that designed and built compact, modular, multipurpose enclosures. While pursuing his passion for design in New York, Dwight’s ambitions led him to Cornell University where he earned his Master’s degree in
- architecture. Dwight greatly valued working
with a small group of designers, and sought to join a group that aspired to design and build projects of larger scope, and that have greater impact on people’s lives. This mindset led Dwight to his position as design consultant for his partners at ADHJ. The firm looks to Dwight as our primary design
- consultant. He oversees the design process
ensuring that ADHJ projects reflect the best possible combination of client direction and partner input.
