About the Firm

25 Years Shaping Jamaica's Built Environment

RHONE & CO was founded by Alton Rhone in January 2001. Over 25 years of practice in Jamaica, the firm has built a reputation for work that is site-specific, formally resolved, and grounded in the realities of Caribbean climate and construction.

We do not work from templates. Each project begins with a genuine reading of the land, the brief, and the people commissioning the work. The result is architecture that belongs where it sits.

What We Do

Three Sectors. One Standard.

We take on residential, multi-family, and commercial work. Scope and fee are discussed at the initial consultation.

01

Residential Design

Private homes and villas shaped around how the occupants live — attention to light, ventilation, and the way a building meets its site.

  • Custom home design
  • Renovations & extensions
  • Vacation and second homes
02

Multi-Family Design

Residential complexes and townhouse developments designed for enduring quality, not just unit count. We think about how people share space.

  • Apartment buildings
  • Townhouses & condominiums
  • Phased development planning
03

Commercial Design

Offices, hospitality, and retail spaces that function well and make a considered impression. Built for the business, not just the moment.

  • Office & retail spaces
  • Hospitality & leisure
  • Institutional & mixed-use
