As a registered Architect with 17+ years of industry experience, I've honed my skills and expertise in the construction industry. I've been involved in a wide range of projects, from developing and designing residential homes to large-scale commercial, interior design, educational, and hospitality projects. I've also contributed to the latest medium-density housing developments and urban master planning, winning several design awards. My unique ability to work independently and as part of a team, coupled with my commitment to maintaining a high level of productivity, sets me apart. I value feedback, and I'm always looking to enhance my skills.

I'm happy to assist or mentor any graduates considering their studies and wish to gain more insight and experience before their exams.
Showcase
Proxima Residence
The 1,145m2 light industrial city fringe site presented several challenges, including its proximity to the main arterial route of Newton Road, the existing petrol station abutting the southern boundary, and the predominance of commercial rather than established residential buildings in the immediate area. The development brief was for an apartment building that would make a statement.
The expectation was that the building would also be a catalyst for transformation in an area of Auckland with significant potential for urban regeneration. Leticia was involved in the project during the Building Consent Process and Construction Observation and participated to some extent in the communal interior design aspects. Leticia assisted as lead under registered architect supervision. She completed specific tasks of client liaison, consultant coordination, documentation, technical detailing, quality assurance, observation tasks, and managing other staff on the project.

Te Uru T3 & 4 Precinct Hobsonville Point Road
The Te Uru Precinct is a ‘gateway’ into Hobsonville Point.
The design concept for the Te Uru Precinct draws inspiration from the Pōwhiri, the traditional welcome to remove the tapu of Manuhiri (visitors) to make them one with the Tangata Whenua. This narrative, a gradual process of the two coming together, is particularly pertinent given the site’s location and scale, symbolically welcoming visitors into Hobsonville Point. Two important parts of the Pōwhiri, the Karanga and ‘Hongi’, are key elements of our design. The former, a spiritual call through the passages of time from women to women, is the fourth stage of the Pōwhiri. For more information on this project, please visit the Construkt website.
Leticia was involved in the project from concept until delivery, including Developed Design and Detailed Design. Leticia was the project lead under registered architect supervision and completed specific tasks of client liaison, consultant coordination, documentation, technical detailing, quality assurance, observation tasks, and managing other staff on the project.
