Räkkhaus welcomes Missy Jones as director of design
Räkkhaus, the design-forward European architecture studio known for its rebellious spirit and emotionally resonant spaces, proudly announces the appointment of Missy Jones as Director of Design. Based in the Phoenix studio, Jones will lead the firm’s creative vision across a slate of ambitious national and international projects.
