1️⃣ Initial Safety Assessment: Start by reviewing your local city inspector database for regulations and safety requirements.

2️⃣ Insurance Considerations: Contact your insurance company to understand coverage and file a claim to get the ball rolling.

3️⃣ Remediation: This critical cleanup process addresses immediate fire damage. It includes cleaning, deodorizing, and removing compromised structures. Trust a professional restoration company to get this right.

This year's theme, “Design on the Edge: Nature and Technology in Northwest Residential Design”, truly resonated with our vision at Ocurrente Design.
🌍💡 The conference brought together architects, designers, and innovators from across the country to explore how technology and nature can beautifully coexist in architecture. 🌲🏡
From eye-opening discussions on mass timber construction and sustainable building practices to fascinating insights on AI in design.
One of the highlights? Touring some of Seattle's stunning homes that perfectly blend high-tech functionality with natural elements — a true inspiration for our future designs. 🏠✨
Big thanks to the amazing speakers, organizers, and fellow architects who made this experience unforgettable. 🙌 We’re excited to implement what we’ve learned and keep pushing the boundaries of sustainable and soulful design!

We’re thrilled to share with you the two projects we submitted for the LIA Perspectivas '24: the Iglesia Pentecostal and the Mediterranean Oasis! ✨

🌟 Excited to share our project, Iglesia Pentecostal, originally a laundromat, this 4,218 sq ft building transformed into a vibrant worship center thanks to the collective effort of the Hispanic community. With volunteer labor and fundraising events,
the space was reimagined to be modern and flexible, catering to the needs of a growing congregation. The renovations not only enhance functionality but also reflect the spirit and dedication of the parishioners who built it together.
🌊 Meanwhile, the Mediterranean
Oasis project is an innovative design that began with a vision from enthusiastic developers wanting to create a unique and beautiful affordable homes in Austin, TX, using shipping containers. Inspired by the vibrant Hispanic colors of East Austin and Spanish Mediterranean style, we aimed to blend old-world charm with
modern design.
A huge thank you to .in.architecture_atx and Guillermo Del Rio for the amazing videos that captured our project's essence!
We're proud of the creativity and collaboration that went
into these projects and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Stay tuned for updates!

I want to thank the boss of OCURRENTE Architecture Design Sara Alicia Costa for the opportunity to work me in her company. This smart and professional woman has a kind and sympathetic heart. I worked as an accountant in Ukraine in Kyiv for 25 years and the war forced me to leave my home country. Sara Alicia Costa always finds time and shares her knowledge of running a business with me. I thank everyone who works with me on the same team and gives me a chance to find my new life.
