About 

Sebastian Arcabascio attended Lawrence Technological University from 1996-2001 and graduated with Honors in Construction Documents and a Minor in AutoCAD Software.  He attended a Design Studio Exchange with Lawrence Technological University in Paris France in the summer of 2000, in that time I have been associated with several firms in Michigan including Harley Ellis Devereaux, ENGA and Loizion Architects. I then decided to move into Freelance Architecture and established Arcabascio Studios PC in 2003 and moved to Barcelona Spain to have a one year internship with an English based firm to study Antoni Gaudi's Architecture.  Once he completed his internship he relocated to California where he consulted several firms including Holt Architects, WWCOT + Pearson Architects, Inc. In the summer of 2010 we moved back to Michigan and reestablished connections with former friends + colleagues. In January 2011 I was hired by Damian Farrell Design Group and working again with friend, former colleague + LTU Alum Jenny Stevens. He has extensive knowledge in French Architecture, Spanish or Catalan Architecture + Desert Modern Architecture.
