Orlando’s passion for design and architecture was sparked in 2002 when he enrolled in the Diploma of Architectural Building Design and Drafting. Early in his career, working as an architectural draftsperson, he discovered that architecture was his true calling. Driven by this enthusiasm, he pursued further studies and completed a Master of Architecture at Curtin University, laying the foundation for the expertise, creativity, and dedication he brings to every project.

Following his graduation from Curtin University, Orlando continued to grow and refine his expertise within professional architectural environments. Collaborating with respected firms, he gained valuable experience across a wide range of sectors, including Corporate and Commercial, Industrial, Educational, Health and Wellness, Hospitality, and Interior Design. In 2011, at the age of 26, Orlando achieved registration with the Architects Board of Western Australia, becoming one of the youngest architects to do so in Australia — a testament to his dedication, skill, and early accomplishments in the field.

After many years of experience in the building and design industry, complemented by further studies, Orlando became a Registered Building Practitioner in Western Australia in 2019. His unique ability to think simultaneously as an architect, builder, developer, client, and end-user allows him to create architectural designs that are functional, enduring, and truly admired. Orlando’s extensive expertise in Architecture, Building and Construction, and Interior Design, combined with his agile problem-solving and quick-thinking, has proven invaluable in navigating complex and challenging projects.

Orlando is deeply committed to the vision of his company, ensuring that every client experiences an architectural service that is both professional and personally tailored. His determination to guide each project through to successful completion, regardless of the challenges encountered during design and construction, is a cornerstone of the success of every project undertaken by X-Space Architects.
