Ray I. Zabala III, AIA
Ray is a New Orleans metro area native who after graduating from Archbishop Rummel High School, went on to receive a Bachelors in Architecture from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA. With over 19 years of experience in Educational, Residential, Government, and Commercial design and construction, Ray is able to bring expertise, understanding and insight into any new project. His focus is on the client experience and end user satisfaction. Understanding that the end user is the true test of good design, Ray understands and interprets the users’ vision and needs, into buildable and budget appropriate design documentation.
Ray has an ingrained interest in geometrical forms and sustainable building practices. Understanding the basic human appreciation of natural form and space, Ray is able to incorporate the principals of Sacred Geometry into design and space, creating an inherent beauty in built forms.
He feels that client input is an ongoing effort, and every phase of design requires a sense of satisfaction from the client that their vision and needs are being met.
My Approach
“As an Architect, I feel that my job is to help you interpret your minds’ vision into tangible, buildable design and documentation, and to provide you with insight into design and aesthetics you may not have previously considered.”
