Simon Manfredi
Co-Founder
Simon's building journey, enriched by a distinguished education from the University of British Columbia's School of Architecture and Landscape (SALA) & the Sauder School of Business, mirrors the foundational principles instilled in him by his father: meticulous attention to detail, exceptional organizational skills, and unwavering honesty. These core values have been the guiding force behind Simon's approach to design since he first began collaborating on home and project designs with his father at the age of 16.
At Alto, Simon brings a fresh perspective, blending the timeless lessons from his early experiences with the cutting-edge methodologies acquired through his studies at UBC. His designs are not just structures, but stories of space and function, reflecting a deep understanding of both traditional and contemporary architectural principles. Simon's ability to envision and execute designs that are both innovative and deeply respectful of client needs makes him a vital part of the Alto team.
