LISA LOI
Architect
I’ve always loved to be behind the scenes, and as an architect I enjoy orchestrating a space. I love designing the set and creating experiences for the characters who occupy it. I am inspired by the harmony, proportion and contrast that I see in arts.I like food. Unpredictability. And making jokes.
GIULIANO SOTO

I have a flexible approach to architecture which has enabled me to engage in all aspects of the design process. I believe that good design is timeless and can be achieved through creative solutions that result in a high quality outcome.
