Leonardo Velandia

PROJECT ARCHITECT

“To me, design is like downloading visions from the unmaterialized universe into our 3D-ruled world.”

Leonardo adds heft and experience to our team with more than 30 years of experience worldwide in hospitality, multi-family, and high-rise residential projects along with a 20-year background in Building Information Management technology.

Rooted in flexibility, openness, and a keenness for learning, Leonardo considers each project afresh, developing designs based on the client’s vision.

“There are many different ways to solve a project so I don’t identify with a particular style. I feel like that could be limiting,” he says. “If I choose to be a modernist forever, I’ll leave out options for being more crafty, more artisan, more rustic, maybe. I could leave out different beautiful options. By staying open, there is more freedom to choose, for the client and for myself.”

If you asked him to brag about one project, Leonardo would tell you about the time he delivered an entire amusement park concept in just five weeks!
