Joseph LaRocca
AIA, LEED AP
Associate Principal, Commercial Studio Leader
Austin, Texas USA
Joe trusts in the talents of his team and leads the Austin office with a thoughtful, human-centered approach. “Every person I’ve worked with follows a different path,” he explains, “and along the way, they’re exposed to various opportunities and challenges, offering a completely different viewpoint.”
Joe delivers unique, exceptional results by creating spaces that positively affect the lives of those who inhabit them. With over three decades of experience in Central Texas, he has developed an impressive portfolio with a wide range of project types. His proudest achievements are the Austin Rowing Club on Lady Bird Lake for 26 rowing teams and the headquarters for PCSI, a company that employs veterans and people with disabilities. “The resulting project is one where ADA wasn't an afterthought, but a central idea – we created an environment that’s open and welcoming to everyone,” Joe says.
Joseph extends his passion for sustainably at home by growing his own food, collecting rainwater, and beekeeping. “The measures I take are small,” he declares, “but if others do the same, it will help to preserve our natural environment.”
