Omar Calderon Santiago

For Omar, the design of “place” is central to seeking value-added solutions at every stage of a project, which means inspiration is often found in the unexpected. With more than 20 years of national and international experience, his impressive portfolio encompasses commercial, residential, public, higher education, and primary and secondary education facilities. Omar lends this thoughtful, open-minded approach to everything he touches. Highly versatile and well-regarded, Omar is keenly attuned to the broader perspectives of building and planning and is always searching for the intangible human dimension of design. Omar is a former Fellow for the New York Foundation for the Arts and has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
