Raul, a Colorado native, earned his Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado. He began his architectural career in Boulder, where he gained valuable experience in urban infill projects, neighborhood planning, and establishing office standards. In 2018, Raul moved to Austin, Texas, where he broadened his expertise by working on high-end residential and commercial architecture in a fast-growing urban environment. After three years in Texas, he returned to Colorado to lead the design and production of single- and multi-family residential projects across the western US before joining CCA.

Raul’s design philosophy is rooted in a deep understanding of a project’s site, the client’s vision, and the cultural context of the local community. He emphasizes the importance of clear and effective communication among stakeholders, recognizing its direct impact on the quality of each project. Outside of his professional pursuits, Raul enjoys exploring Colorado’s seasonal activities and has recently developed a passion for acting classes and tennis.
