Joe Celentano, AIA

Email this principal | Principal

Joe's award-winning designs have been recognized by the American Institute of Architects, American School & University, and the Virginia School Boards Association. His intensive study abroad exposed him to a broad range of international architectural styles. His approach is also influenced by his experience with cabinet making and carpentry, where he developed an acute interest in the craft of building and design and in understanding the role of each structure’s individual components.
