Lizmarie Esparza, RA, LEED AP BD+C, NCARB

Since graduating from famed MIT for her undergraduate degree, Lizmarie has been on a trail-blazing career path.  She finalized her education at fellow Ivy League Columbia University for her masters diploma.  Lizmarie's subtle yet confident demeanor exemplifies the type of architecture she designs.  Her love of nature percolates through her work, as she integrates buildings to their natural surroundings, imitates biological processes, or designs her own version of a more human modern architecture.  Lizmarie loves tropical and sub-tropical climates, and has developed a knack for designing buildings in these locations.  Her native Puerto Rico is a factor in her appreciation for lush landscapes and colorful fauna.  As Partner at Oppenheim Architecture + Design, she worked on projects all around the globe, and adapted her unique design process to each one.  Her work demonstrates a firm knowledge of cutting edge software and professional best practices with a vast portfolio of projects including urban scale developments, timeshare projects, mixed-use condominium buildings, hospitality feasibility studies, and single family residences.  Also active in humanitarian endeavors, Lizmarie volunteers at charities such as Habitat for Humanity, promoting the environmental, social, and financial value of green design. Her sensitive designs and technical training have catapulted her to positions of increasing responsibility.  At Den, she now enjoys being her own boss.
