Mark De La Torre is a “30-something-year-old” design professional, a Texas native now living in Colorado. Drawing from a wide range of academic and professional experience in architecture, landscape architecture, design-build and real estate development practices, Mark leads multi-disciplinary teams in the graphic representation of the design process, from concept to synthesis and through execution. He has a wide array of planning and design experience in corridors, downtowns, districts and parks, as well as streetscape, transportation and campus design. He derives design solutions from tangible sources of inspiration that focus on and develop out of the unique, contextual needs of each place. His work engages communities in preserving, enhancing, and creating lasting environments that foster a sense of pride and ownership. When not working, you might find him exploring the Front Range trail system on his soon-to-break-down 80’s road bike, volunteering at community cultural- and development-focused nonprofits, or playing his bodhrán (traditional Irish frame drum) at the local pub.
