Diego Rozo

AIA, CDT, LEED AP BD+C
Associate Principal, Science and Technology, Houston

A founding member of our Houston studio’s Science and Technology team, Diego has spent the last 25 years growing the practice into one of the firm’s most renowned resources for complex and sensitive research projects. Specializing in the cross-section of institutional, higher education, and private research, he has acted as both a project manager and architect on projects ranging from federal laboratories to private life science campuses.

Whether working with end users to develop quality-of-life casework needs or navigating the regulatory requirements of biocontainment on an active university campus, Diego believes that a successful work philosophy is taking ownership of what you do and approaching every task with diligence. This belief has been critical in fostering decades-long client relationships.

“Don’t do the work just to get it done,” he says, “do it because you care about it. Take pride in the project, the client, the firm, and your team.”

Houston Strong

In 2017, Diego lost his home due to Hurricane Harvey flooding and was forced to rebuild. One of his greatest challenges in the rebuild process was filling the roles of owner, architect and builder. Diego had to switch hats daily, and with the help of his family, friends, neighbors and colleagues, he and his family were able to move back home in July 2019. He continues to help others in his community that are still not back in their homes.
