Paul Bestul is an architect at 海角社区, currently working on (Racine Unified School District) project. He鈥檚 involved in all phases of a project: schematic-level design, programming, space planning, and client meetings through construction documents.
Over the past year, Paul鈥檚 passion for designing schools that have made a positive impact on students and the community continues to grow. 鈥淲e鈥檙e designing schools for students who spend five out of seven days a week there, I want to make it a safe, comfortable, and an inspiring space for them,鈥� he says. One of the rewarding aspects of being an architect for Paul is seeing the excitement on clients faces when designs are presented and/or the project is complete. 鈥淐lients who are excited about the design of their school and can鈥檛 wait to see the final product make the project even better.鈥�
His passion for design can be traced directly back to his own experiences in high school. His decision to pursue a career in architecture occurred on a study abroad trip to Europe during his junior year. 鈥淎fter seeing all the beautiful buildings in that region, I remember thinking to myself, if they can design these, I can, too.鈥�
Outside of work, Paul enjoys helping his wife raise their one-year-old daughter, going to concerts and is a part of the (and welcomes anyone to join!).
