About 

I am an architect originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I have been living and working in the NY area for over 20 years now. I am also registered as an architect in NY and CT.

Over the course of my career I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of projects ranging from hi-end residential to commercial, religious buildings as well as high performance and energy efficient design including Passive House.

I absolutely love what I do and appreciate the dynamic interaction with clients, peers and the whole project team. I truly believe that architects can make a difference and have a huge impact in the world we live in. From really small projects to really big ones. We can help improve the way people live and work everyday with significant impact even if it's for one person at a time. :)
