Jordache Avery is an award-winning architect, founder, and principal of the architecture firm XMETRICAL. Avery founded XMETRICAL on the belief that our cities are the museums of our culture and that in order to tell the story of our lives, we need to build the architecture of our time. Because of this simple concept, he has consistently pushed for a more progressive design approach where feasible and appropriate. His modern homes have been featured on multiple tours, and his work has been published extensively in print and digital media. He has also spoken on several panels discussing topics from Atlanta’s real estate market to minorities in architecture. Avery is a member of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) and the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Avery serves as the state representative for Georgia on the AIA’s Small Firm Exchange representing the interest of small architecture firms throughout the state.
