Bobby Duarte
Growing up in a bicultural family in Mexico City with a Mexican mother and a Portuguese-American father, I was fortunate to have a unique upbringing that provided me with a wealth of cultural experiences. After starting my architectural education in Florence, Italy where I studied Renaissance Architecture, I went on to receive my Bachelor’s degree in Mexico City.
After graduation, I worked for renowned Mexican architects before co-founding my own architecture and interior design firm Extracto Arte, Arquitectura y Diseño in 2004. Over the years, I have worked on numerous residential, multy-family, and commercial projects in Mexico, the United States, Spain and the Netherlands.
In 2009, our firm received the Architectural Digest Icons of Design award for the best residential project. We were also awarded the best design in the categories of bathroom and kitchens by the Interior Design Association of Mexico and have been published in various publications such as Architectural Digest, Elle Décor and Archdaily.
After going back and forth from Mexico City to LA servicing clients for many years, I ended up falling in love with LA and decided to permanently move here. Throughout my career, I have always been involved in Real Estate, whether it be as a client, advisor, or locating real estate for investment in multi-family projects. My expertise in Architecture, Interior Design and Real Estate provides me with a unique perspective and the ability to better serve my clients. Whether my clients are interested in investing in a new home, remodeling or investing in property, I am dedicated to providing them with the best possible service.
