ABOUT

Chase Rongé received his degree in Architecture from University of California Berkeley. During this time he also worked as a construction management intern, focusing on concrete construction techniques in type one buildings. Since then, he has been integral to the development of a variety of project types including high-rise commercial and residential, healthcare, multifamily, single family, institutional, and retail. This work has allowed him to develop an innovative design approach to create functional spaces that are optimized to integrate into the surrounding environment in both the domestic and international markets.

Chase started his architecture career in Los Angeles where he was able to apprentice under a series of highly experienced Architects focusing on detail design. Working in Australia, Chase was a key part of the design team behind 1 Bligh Street, which went on to receive much praise and recognition in various publications around the world including International Highrise of the Year 2012-2013 by Detail Magazine. His work at Perkins and Will in San Francisco focused on the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital (LPCH). LPCH was created to provide children with the most sophisticated hospital facilities while creating a comforting, natural environment that felt anything but hospital-like. Most recently, Chase’s role has been the Design Technology Director at MVE and Partners. He led the development of full lifecycle programs for some of the largest developers in the country while integrating new technologies into design, construction and operations. Chase has also recently been working with organizations in Nepal focusing on reconstruction after the earthquake of 2015. Projects like this are truly unique in design and innovation, using seismically safe, low cost, and locally sourced materials and labor in an ever changing environment.

Moving forward, Chase strives to be a part of revitalizing the architecture profession in a way that is symbiotic with the communities that we serve. Having such a variety experience throughout his career, Chase has an eye for providing clients a fresh and realistic perspective.
