About

Patrick

My career began at an early age in my father's basement workshop, where my brother and I were free to use hand tools and scraps of material to make and fix things. After graduating college, I moved to San Diego and found a job working as a laborer for a foundation repair contractor, digging trenches, jackhammering slabs, setting rebar, pouring concrete, and somehow realizing that what I wanted to do with the rest of my life was build things.

Since that time, I've worked for both a large construction company and a large architecture firm (Suffolk Construction Company and DiMella Shaffer, respectively) - and then later, as the co-owner of a smaller scale residential design-build firm, I worked as a designer, project manager, site supervisor and carpenter on residential projects of all shapes and sizes. 

My passion is architecture and construction - working closely with clients to create a vision, and working closely with contractors and subcontractors figuring out how to make that vision happen.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from Harvard University and a Master of Architecture from Boston Architectural College. I am a licensed Architect in multiple states, a Massachusetts licensed Construction Supervisor, and a LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Accredited Professional.

Much like Patrick, my first exposure to construction was as a child in my dad’s wood shop. Being both a masterful wood worker and a great teacher, my dad taught me the value of good design. He showed me how a bedside table could be transformed from a simple utilitarian object into a work of art – with just a little intention, dedication, and creativity. My dad and I built a chicken coop when I was about 13 years old, and from there I was hooked on the idea that I could draw something on paper and make it a reality with my own hands.

As an undergraduate student at the University of Vermont, I studied philosophy, archeology, art history, photography, and sculpture. After finishing my degree, I moved to the West coast to further broaden my horizons.

In Seattle, Washington I worked as a maintenance technician, a traveling handyman, and as a renovator for a local Architect. I met my wife Katie, and together we started our own General Contracting business specializing in residential renovations and repairs. For several years we worked on small scale renovations of single- and multi- family homes around the Puget Sound. During that time I filled the role of carpenter, plumber, electrician, plasterer, painter, and laborer.

Since then, I’ve moved back home to New England and completed a Master of Architecture degree at Boston Architectural College. In addition to my work with Haven Architecture, I’ve recently been working on developing middle-income housing in my hometown of Burlington, Vermont.

Growing up in Boston, I can remember having an appreciation for architecture and design from a young age. From taking trips to the Museum of Fine Arts to exploring Back Bay, I feel that Boston’s unique culture of art and architecture has been ingrained in me. I eventually decided that I wanted to pursue a career in architecture after spending my teenage years studying in my high school’s drafting/CAD program. From there, I went on to pursue and obtain my Bachelor’s degree at Judson University just outside of Chicago, another city of great stature in the architectural world. Returning to Boston after undergrad, I spent my first several years working in various roles at Vanko Studio Architects, a local firm that specializes in multi-family buildings all over the city and the Greater Boston area. I then decided to make the switch to single family architecture, working here with Patrick and the rest of the team at Haven.

Currently, I call Brighton my home since moving to the neighborhood with my wife Roslyn in 2022. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring my other creative outlets such as photography, fashion, and cooking. In addition, I like to say I have a “healthy” obsession with Boston sports.

Preya

I’m from Ahmedabad, India, a city known for its heritage and culture. I believe that my fondness for architecture grew seeing all the rich architectural history around me. As a kid, I was always drawing and painting; colors were my best friend. As I grew, my fascination for buildings was evident to my family, especially my mom, who noticed my growing interest in the stories behind the historical structures and my long-held dream of designing my ideal house.
 
I then pursued a Bachelor’s degree in architecture from Anant National University in Ahmedabad, where I also had the opportunity to intern at HCP Design and Management, the esteemed firm that designed the Parliament House of India. It gave me hands-on experience with a range of projects, from detailed architectural designs to large-scale urban planning. It was here that I developed a strong technical foundation and a deep appreciation for how architecture can shape communities. I soon acquired an architect license in India.
 
In Jan 2022, I moved to Boston for my Master’s in Architecture from Boston Architectural College. While studying, I worked as an Architectural Designer at Kennard Architects, learning about American architectural styles and practices, offering a fresh perspective compared to my experiences in India. As I completed my Masters in May 2024, I joined Haven Architecture. New England has quickly become my new home, and I am enjoying exploring its rich architectural landscape and diverse neighborhoods. I am passionate about creating designs that honor historical contexts while embracing modern functionality, and I am excited to continue contributing to the architectural field in this amazing region.

I have always been fascinated with art and design. In college I discovered a sweet spot in CAD - a mix of both the creative and technical that suited me well. I completed my degree in CAD and worked for engineering and architecture firms on both commercial and residential projects of all sizes. As time went on, I specialized in the visualization side of design development creating detailed and realistic 3D models and renderings.

I represent Haven Architecture in the western side of the country. I was born and raised in Colorado and the mountains will always feel like home to me. I strongly believe in the need for nature in our daily lives and love anything to do with plants and gardening.
