News: Patty Karapinar Director of Sustainability Retires
After a remarkable design career, Patty Karapinar announces retirement as Architectural Nexus’s Director of Sustainability. Patty’s invaluable expertise has been pivotal in our efforts toward a more sustainable future. Among many of her accomplishments, she was instrumental in working to help the Arch Nexus SAC office become California’s first certified Living Building.
In addition to being an excellent architect and mentor, Patty is an industry-leading expert and advocate for construction material transparency. Not only did Patty vet every material that went into Arch Nexus SAC and Arch Nexus SLC, but she also played a significant role in vetting the materials for all the Nexus Builds tiny homes. Because of Patty’s advocacy, multiple manufacturers now have greater product transparency.
We sincerely appreciate her tireless efforts and lasting impact on Arch Nexus. As Patty embarks on this new chapter, we wish her a joyful retirement filled with happiness and new adventures.
