Patreese Martin
Principal

Patreese is motivated by the profound way architecture touches all the senses and how a body moves through space and time. Architecture can be experienced as an unfolding, or a series of discoveries. Patreese believes there is power in the subtle, and not so-subtle ways, the experience can be reinforced through scale, detail, material, light, and shadow. An editor by nature, Patreese is drawn to the push and pull of the design process, which coaxes out the essential heart of a project. She is passionate about advancing design excellence through collaboration and mentorship, making her a sought-after adviser both within in the firm and throughout the profession.
