Xavier Obando Email & Phone Number

I serve as Architect and Director of Sustainability at Hartman + Majewski Design Group, bringing over 18 years of specialized experience in general and sustainable architecture—a passion nurtured from my early years under my father's guidance. My responsibilities extend across project management, building envelope design, sustainable evaluation, overseeing design schedules, and coordinating deliverables for key markets in New Mexico, Texas, and California. My guiding philosophy is to "Design buildings that demand less, last longer, and are better for us."My practice is deeply rooted in the principles of Building Science, with an unwavering commitment to advancing Building Envelope Design. Leveraging methodologies from Net Zero Energy and Passive House design frameworks, I aim to craft architectural solutions that stand the test of time, save operational costs, and minimize ecological impact. My expertise is further complemented by certifications in CPHC, LEED, and WELL, enabling me to create spaces that optimize health, wellness, and productivity for their occupants.As a native Latin American, I have an intrinsic appreciation for the enduring impact of regional architecture, historical nuances, and traditional designs that define various cultures. I consider myself fortunate to work in New Mexico—the only U.S. state with its own regional architectural style—and take immense pride in designing contemporary structures that resonate with the community by drawing inspiration from local cultural heritage.Feel free to connect with me to explore synergies, share insights, or discuss upcoming projects that align with intelligent, efficient, and sustainable architecture.Best regards,J.
