Originally from Easton, Pennsylvania, John received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame. A year of study in Rome inspired his affinity for great cities. His career has taken him to London, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Chicago and currently, New York City.

John acquired broad professional experience including high-end office interiors, commercial buildings, single family homes and product design. In 2009 he started Patino Architecture with a focus on residential design. Critical to all his architectural solutions is the design process; collaborative, thoughtful and comprehensive.

An architect who never wanted to be in the office all day, John seeks a balance between time at his desk, at the site, in the shop, and wherever he is needed to ensure a great result. A network of excellent tradespeople and professional consultants helps him shape the practice to his vision.
