Orlando’s passion in design and architecture was initiated when he enrolled in the Diploma of Architectural Building Design and Drafting in 2002. Soon after he entered the workforce as an architectural draftsperson, he discovered that his true passion was architecture. He promptly decided, with his newly acquired enthusiasm in design and architecture, to further his architectural studies and complete a Master of Architecture Degree at Curtin University.

After graduating from Curtin University, he continued to work and learn in professional environments. Working with other reputable architectural firms he further developed his skills and benefited from exposure to various design sectors such as Corporate + Commercial, Industrial, Educational, Health + Wellness, Hospitality and Interior Design. In 2011 Orlando qualified as an architect with the Architects Board of WA, making him one of the youngest architects to register in Australia at age 26.

After many years in the building and design industry, and further building studies, in 2019 Orlando became a Registered Building Practitioner in WA. His mastery to simultaneously think like an architect, a builder, a developer, a client and an end-user, allows his architectural designs to work, to last, and most importantly, to be admired. Orlando’s sound knowledge in Architecture, Building and Construction, Interior Design and his quick-thinking and agile problem-solving ability has proven invaluable when resolving challenging and complex projects.

Orlando is committed to his company vision. He always ensures each client receives a professional, yet personalized and intimate architectural service. His drive to see each project through to successful completion regardless of any difficulties that may be encountered during design and construction is significant to the success of each project that X-Space Architects undertakes.
