ISA welcomes Ernesto to the team!

IS Architecture is proud to welcome Ernesto Becerra to the team as a Job Captain! Ernesto comes to us with previous experience in architectural design in the Southwest and brings with him his love for historic architecture and the technical and artistic aspects of practical preservation.

Growing up in Arizona, Ernesto found himself surrounded by late-20th century homes and developments. In contrast, the historic buildings he encountered both at home and abroad stood out to him as full of character and life. Ernesto’s artistic interests in drawing, photography, and music along with his scientific curiosity combined to form his interest in the technical aspects of restorations and rehabilitations. He was drawn to ISA’s historic rehabilitation work and will be working with our Project Managers on residential architecture and historic preservation projects.

You can find out more about Ernesto and our other team members on our Studio page.

This gem is a rare construction technique most common on the West Coast, where the rapid pace of westward expansion required quick, inexpensive, and efficient building. It can be found in some of La Jolla’s beach cottages […]
