Diego follows projects from design concept and development all the way through construction documents, permit phase, and construction administration. He takes great pride in getting to know the firm’s clients and helping them realize their project goals.For Diego, architecture is the mixture of human moments, perceptions, and beliefs that shape the physical spaces of daily life. The architect transforms these spaces to make way for the changes of human need and expression.
