Xavier and Paola are passionate about every phase of the architectural process—from the initial sketches to the final construction. Their deep involvement extends beyond their practice, as both are engaged in the cultural community, with Xavier serving as a former president of AIA Palm Beach and maintaining long-standing relationships with the organization.
PX Architecture takes on a wide variety of projects, including commercial, residential, religious, hospitality, education and medical buildings.
