Salomon Alcantar

I am a design professional working across architecture, design development, and supporting technical systems.

My background includes formal architectural education, hands-on experience in fabrication environments, and professional practice within an architecture firm, where I contribute to design work and the development of internal standards that support how projects are communicated and delivered.

My work is primarily design-driven. I am involved in concept development, modeling, and the creation of firm-wide presentation systems, templates, and graphic standards, as well as database- and workflow-based tools that improve consistency, clarity, and efficiency across design teams. Alongside this, I support projects through systems building and occasional programming-based solutions when design challenges benefit from more structured or repeatable approaches.

I also play a significant role in supporting sustainability efforts within my firm. I regularly conduct daylighting and solar gain analyses for active projects, contribute to LEED-related performance studies, and provide design feedback informed by environmental performance. I am often consulted internally to help teams understand how sustainability strategies can meaningfully inform design decisions rather than operate as a separate or corrective layer.

I am interested in design that balances elegance, performance, and context, and I value approaches where spatial quality, sustainability, and human experience are considered together rather than as separate layers. Whether working on architectural projects, parametric studies, presentation systems, or internal tools, I approach design as something that benefits from both creative intuition and thoughtful structure.

This portfolio reflects a range of work developed through education, independent exploration, and professional practice. While my current role shapes the kinds of projects I am engaged with day to day, my broader interests span design, systems thinking, and the ways technology can quietly support better design outcomes.
