Casey Roccanova, AIA, NCARB is a licensed architect and Native Californian raised in Los Angeles and Orange County, with a deep appreciation for the rich cultural and architectural diversity of her home state. She earned both her Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Architecture from Tulane School of Architecture in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she experienced the city before and after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. This pivotal moment in her life sparked a strong interest in urban design, particularly in relation to waterfronts and resilient city planning.
While at Tulane, Casey further broadened her perspective by studying European cities on the water, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Venice, Barcelona, and Bilbao. These experiences fueled her curiosity about sustainable design and the ways in which architecture can enhance the relationship between cities and their natural environments.
After returning to Los Angeles, Casey began her career working in high-end residential design before transitioning into the fields of Higher Education, Entertainment, and Healthcare. Over the course of more than a decade, she honed her expertise in hospital and medical office building design, focusing on creating environments that support both the health of individuals and the vitality of the communities they serve.
Today, Casey is a key member of Studio One Eleven, where she is dedicated to improving cities through thoughtful design. She is particularly passionate about adaptive reuse, working to revitalize existing structures and create spaces where communities can thrive and grow while preserving their unique culture and character.
Outside of her professional life, Casey enjoys spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters, who inspire her every day to make a positive impact on the world around them. Whether on adventures with her family or tackling complex urban challenges, Casey remains deeply committed to building a better, more sustainable future for generations to come.
