About 

Hooman Monfared, RA, GC, MURP

As a California licensed Architect and Licensed contractor, l have been involved in projects ranging from custom made houses, and hospitality projects, in California, to Mid Rise apartment buildings in the Middle East, to retail projects in the Midwest and theme parks in Florida.


Very passionate about the fine arts, trying to be as creative as possible within the perceived economic and environmental limitations, I have been training coworkers at AxisGFA in preparing Design Development and construction documents in Revit, and helped setting up the project template. Furthermore on theme park projects at Cuningham, I worked on complex geometries and consultant coordination efforts from the early stages of design to CDs and the CA phase.

At WATG I joined two major NDA projects in the capacity of Project Architect one in Florida to the end of the CD phase and the other a 900 Key, themed destination hotel in Alula, Saudi Arabia at the DD phase.
