Curtis Bac
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER
Curtis brings a unique vantage point to 42° North with his dual education in interior and exterior architecture. As a child, he looked over the shoulder of his father, an architectural draftsman, who brought to life his son’s imagined homes with AutoCAD software. Curtis was inspired to help others imagine the possibilities of their living spaces.
Roberto Gonzalez
ARCHITECTURAL TECHNICAL DESIGNER
Roberto’s inquisitive nature was fueled by working beside his dad pouring and finishing concrete building foundations. Watching solid form develop into a living structure, he wondered who the mastermind was behind this transformation. He knew at an early age that he wanted to learn all the details behind how a house is built.
Caleb Jones
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTSMAN
Caleb comes to our firm with experience in government and educational architectural design, but he has always been drawn to residential architecture. He joins the 42° North team to smooth the path from initial design concepts to construction documents, taking projects to construction completion.
