Pedro de Podesta

Pedro de Podestá

Senior Technical Architect with an international point of view.

I work at the point where architecture becomes real: coordinating the people, information and details that carry a design from intent to construction.

I qualified in architecture and urbanism in Brazil before working in Barcelona and moving to London in 2007. Since then my experience has moved between hospitality, workplace and public infrastructure, from listed hotels to live headquarters transformations.
