who we are

yote.studio, founded in 2023 by licensed architect Jeff Bloker, combines extensive experience from national and local firms. Jeff has managed projects ranging from small remodels to multi-million-dollar developments, including numerous new homes.

Jeff grew up playing in the desert arroyos of Tucson, Arizona. He has a strong understanding of the brutal impacts of our ecology and is focused on solutions that resolve client needs with a sustainable future. His passion for sustainable design is further informed by his studies in biomimicry in the Galapagos Islands, and his master’s thesis on reducing Phoenix's urban heat island effect through increased tree canopy and less pavement.

Before architecture, Jeff worked in financial services, developing project management skills that ensure efficient, on-budget execution while exceeding client expectations.

our approach

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all designs. Every project starts with a deep understanding of your unique needs, lifestyle, and vision, combined with a careful analysis of the project and its surroundings. We prioritize creating designs that are personal, functional, and connected to the environment. By evaluating the land, climate, and natural beauty, we design spaces that enhance your experience.

We think out of the box and into the land. We maximize light, frame breathtaking views, and address all your design needs—both the ones you’ve considered, and the ones you haven’t yet thought of.

Our values:

  1. Healthy partnerships with our clients, home builders, and our community.

  2. Rigorous research to identify priorities and existing conditions.

  3. Planning for the future with quality designs that can serve for decades.

  4. Efficient and sustainable design.

  5. Integration of the surrounding scale, type, and nature.

The most important thing for an object to be considered beautiful, is for it to fullfill its purpose.
— Antoni Gaudi
