  • Jorge Alain Herrera, NCARB, AIA

    Herrera Architecture Luxury Office
    Founder | Principal Architect

    Building your home is one of the most personal journeys you’ll ever undertake. Mr. Herrera believes it should feel that way from the very first conversation, collaborative, transparent, and guided by someone who genuinely understands every stage of what it takes to bring a vision to life.

    With 20 years of experience designing custom luxury residences and commercial projects, Mr. Herrera brings something rare to the table: he doesn’t just design beautiful homes, he understands how they’re built. Early in his career, he was personally recruited by Luis Rodriguez of Rodez of Miami, one of Miami’s longest-running luxury design-build firms and a legacy rooted in the work of renowned architect Hernando Acosta. There, working across every phase of construction, he developed a hands-on command of the building process that most architects spend an entire career without gaining.

    That foundation, knowing not just what to draw, but how it gets made, means fewer surprises, tighter budgets, and a smoother experience for his clients. It’s what separates a home that looks good on paper from one that’s built to last and built to delight.

    His design sensibility is equally broad. Trained at Miami Dade College in modern avant-garde design and at the University of Miami’s School of Architecture under the legendary Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, a pioneer of New Urbanism and traditional architecture, Mr. Herrera is equally fluent in the clean lines of contemporary design and the enduring elegance of classical form. His time at Harrison Design, one of the country’s most respected high-end residential firms, further sharpened his eye for the details that define true luxury.

    Whether you’re envisioning a timeless estate, a sleek modern retreat, or something entirely your own, Mr. Herrera brings the expertise, the craft, and the personal attention to make it happen, exactly the way you imagined it.
