Krystal Rodrigues and Lisamarie Masters have joined the partnership at Botelho Wood Architects.

Ms Rodrigues began at Botelho Wood as a student in 2004 when the firm was first established and returned during school breaks while completing her architectural degree. She returned to the firm in 2014 after completing her architectural registration in Massachusetts.

Ms Masters joined the firm as an intern architect in 2010. While interning, she sat her registration exams and, after becoming registered in New York in 2014, took on the role of architect at the firm.

Partners Germano Botelho, Ted Wood and Jason Mackertich said: “We celebrate these individuals for their demonstrated leadership and valuable contributions to the enduring success of our practice. Both Krystal and Lisamarie were elevated to the position of associates of the firm in 2019.

“The addition of Krystal and Lisamarie first as employees, then as associates and now as partners, has proven to be a sound business decision as well as the perfect complement to the Botelho Wood team, which prides itself on customer service and a team approach to all projects.”

They said the new partners are “the face of the future of Botelho Wood Architects”.
