    As the founding principal of Eustilus, Eric has been practicing commercial and residential architecture on three continents since 2001. Raised in Southern California and educated at the University of California, State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Eric began his career designing and managing multi-million dollar homes for McClean Design. In 2010, Eric relocated to Washington, DC to work for Shalom Baranes Associates (SBA). During his tenure at SBA, notable projects included a 10-story hotel, a 25-story office tower, and a mixed-use development spanning over 2 million square feet.

    In 2016, Eric was a scholar for the AIA Washington DC 2016 Christopher Kelley Leadership Development Program, which helps train and nurture the next generation of leaders. Recently, Eric sat down with Nick Serfass of the American Institute of Architecture Students to record a video on his path in the field of Architecture.

    Through his various studies, worldwide travels, and assorted projects, he firmly believes that architecture needs to make a stand and be socially responsible to the environment.

    Fun Fact: Between 2002-2003, Eric traveled the world visiting over 60 countries in 18 months, where he helped various local communities with projects involving architecture and construction. Would he do it again? … YES!

    A DC area native, Patrick received his Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech in 2021. After graduating from Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC, where Patrick was a member of the Crew team. Patrick studied Computer Science at Virginia Tech for three years before leaving school to join the workforce to learn new skills as a boat mechanic working on direct-current, multi-battery electric motor applications as well as other marine electronics repairs and installations.

    Upon returning to Virginia Tech to pursue a professional degree in architecture, Patrick fell in love with architectural design, drawn to the intense problem-solving and multi-disciplinary environment, as well as the fact that it results in an end product being built in the physical world.  In the Summer of 2019, Patrick attended the Virginia Tech College of Architecture and Urban Studies’ “Europe Travel Program”, a semester-long study abroad program visiting 26 cities in Europe, emphasizing documentation of elements of the physical environment, which ranged in scale from single objects to buildings, to the analysis of cities.  This once-in-a-lifetime experience cemented his love of architecture and the built environment.

     Fun Fact: Patrick and his wife Jennifer are animal lovers and have two dogs and two cats!
