Our Team

Robel T. Yemane

Founder, Managing Principal

Robel has more than 7 years of experience in managing architecture design projects. Robel’s design notions predicate on architectural clarity, sensitivity to context, spatial and perceptual sequencing, and conscious responsibility to the environment. These understandings stimulated while attending a semester fellowship at the University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia under Pritzker Prize & AIA Gold Recipient Glen Murcutt.

Robel's professional goal has always been to commit only to the work he can successfully and personally manage at any time. As project manager, Robel is the client's primary contact, staying with the project from the beginning to the end. As the single point of contact, Robel is responsible for documenting meeting minutes, evaluating project design, construction budget, and facilitating all communication between the owner/client and the architecture/engineering design team.

Some of Robel’s notable projects include the One Shell Plaza Revitalization project for Shell and Hines; the Coleman College Expansion for Houston Community College; the Health Education Center for University of Texas. Robel continues to be involved in the architecture education community as an adjunct professor in the Architecture and Engineering programs at Lone Star College and Houston Community College. Robel has earned both a Master’s of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The University of Kansas.
