After initially graduating from a five-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture program in the Philippines, Eric Esteban has delved into the intricacies of the field and explored the harmonious interplay of aesthetics and functionality in architectural design. Eteban’s journey led him to the United States of America in 1998, where he was able to embrace diverse roles within both corporate and small architectural firms. Over the course of his 31 years of experience, Esteban has established a deep knowledge of building science and has applied such to complex building systems on challenging sites. These design and construction challenges often create a better product, and thus Esteban has been able to contribute innovative solutions within each project so that they can not only perform ,but also use local materials and resources that reflect the culture and context of their respective settings
