Ray Tse
Associate Principal
Ray Tse’s first fascination with architecture came by looking up — way, way up. A native of Hong Kong, Ray spent a good deal of his youth gazing up at the city’s striking, monumental skyscrapers, like architect Norman Foster’s HSBC Headquarters and I.M. Pei’s Bank of China building. Ray and his family later moved to New Orleans, where the famous architectural heritage sits much closer to the ground but proved no less captivating.
Ray explored his new city with his pad and pen at the ready, making sketches of the Crescent City’s old colonial buildings and historic homes. He wanted to do more than just appreciate architecture, however, so when the time came to pick a career path, Ray’s choice came easily.
Ray’s philosophy is to strive for balanced design solutions that are striking and exceed clients’ expectations. With his primary role as design quality control, entitlement, and project management, Ray tries to stay involved with all phases of design at different compacities.
Outside of work, he turns his attention to photography, home cooking, basketball, and singing.
