Sisto Tallini

For Sisto, every problem has a solution. With over twelve years of experience as an architectural designer, he imagines, coordinates, and creates these solutions, working with his team to translate the needs of clients, developers, engineers, and consultants into a successful, built environment.

Building things was always second nature to Sisto, from a grade school red-and-silver race car made of castoff parts (complete with requisite spoilers) to a college project, “The Daydream Machine,” in which a structure shaped like a satellite dish and cantilevered off a cliff allowed time and space for contemplation. Sisto's parents were Italian immigrants with a rich tradition in construction and masonry, so, with a family steeped in those industries, he readily explored materials like concrete and steel during his civil engineering and architecture studies at Lehigh University and University of Pennsylvania.

Sisto has worked on several of the high-profile projects, bringing creativity and ingenuity to each design solution. At whatever stage of a project, he is energized by new challenges—new materials, new clients, new advances in technology. To him, the process of discovery makes every project, experience, and building all the richer.
