James "Jim" Goodman

With over four decades of architectural experience, Jim brings deep expertise and a legacy of thoughtful design to every project. As Principal Architect at James Goodman Architecture.  Jim has led a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial developments for the past 25 years. His focus has been on self-storage facilities — an area where his depth of knowledge has become industry-defining.

​

Through a strategic partnership with Arclogica Architects, Jim collaborates on all self-storage projects, offering mentorship and design leadership that bridges generations. His insight into long-term building performance, entitlement strategy, and efficient planning continues to elevate project outcomes and client relationships.

​

Jim’s approach is grounded in clarity and collaboration. He balances technical precision with an eye toward lasting value and design. His dedication to architecture is matched only by his joy for life outside the office: road-tripping to national parks, unwinding at Lake Almanor with loved ones, and photography.
