About 

I am marco tadros, a job captain at khal khaireddin architects,  a Los Angeles based office specializing in multifamily housing in and around the la area.
I have been interested in urbanism and the projects that lie in between the person scale and the public scale,  and all the problems of urbanism that deal with the scales of the public and the individual.  for the past three years I worked primarily on residential buildings with different unit modules from micro-units, co-living, to luxury apartments & affordable housing seeing projects through from schematic design to construction.

In my resume, you will see that i have a variety of experiences allover that exposed me to the different sides of the architecture world. as well, my portfolio will show you my interest in the different scales i discussed before and that is how i hope to be of value at your firm.

I have a bachelor of science degree in architectural engineering, a masters of science in design of cities, with more than five years of experience as an architect. in addition, as an architect and an engineer  i get a unique efficiency and problem solving edge in viewing spaces and masses and how things work together to complete a bigger picture. 

My resume, which is attached, contains additional information on my experience and skills, as well as this work sample portfolio. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the opening with you, to provide further information on my candidacy. I can be reached anytime via my cell phone, 323-401-7292.

Thank you for your time and consideration. 
I look forward to speaking with you about this exciting opportunity.
