Norman Sanchez | Architect, LEED AP

Norman's passion for Architecture began at an early age when he would accompany his great uncle to visit the resort hotels and cultural buildings his firm had designed and built throughout Mexico. This early exposure to the rich architectural styles of Mexico, the use of light and color, and the incorporation of nature led to his decision to pursue a career in Architecture. 

After completing his degree in Architecture at the University of California at Berkeley, he began his apprenticeship initially in Mexico designing and building custom homes and commercial spaces in the traditional Mexican architectural style and completed it in Northern California at a small firm specializing in high-end residential design throughout the greater Bay Area. Once obtaining his license to practice Architecture in 2003 he started a firm in Alameda, California. 

A strong advocate of sustainable design, Norman became a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional in 2008.

ANDREA SOSA | SENIOR DESIGNER

Andrea has over 15 years experience in City Planning and Architecture. Her love of architecture began as a child growing up in a family from Mexico that celebrated their culture and, in doing so, exposed her to many creative, talented and inspiring individuals, an abundance of art and design literature and visits to architectural destinations. Her grandparents were driven people that took pride in their home and taught her how to create a space that people love coming home to that serves the needs of both family and friends. Andrea majored in International Studies at the University of California in San Diego which provided a well-rounded understanding of a globally connected world and then obtained a Masters in Architecture from the New School of Architecture & Design. This foundation has yielded a deep understanding how design can positively affect us as individuals and as a community.
