Chris is a design leader and senior project architect who holds master’s degrees in both architecture and biology. Seeing design in both its technical and aesthetic forms, he explores the operations of buildings to find unique solutions that can enhance operations and make sustainable goals a priority target. His work spans from corporate office environments to health care and research facilities, including work for global corporations.

“I have often been asked how I made the switch to architecture from biology. Architecture and the biological sciences are actually quite similar. Biological systems require organisms to go through a rigorous selection process, and those that adapt and evolve, survive and flourish in their environments. Great buildings require a similar rigor in their design: beauty and composition will only be affective if it is utilized to reinforce building function and response to environment. My goal is to make beautiful buildings that are biologically sensitive.”
