Cuban-born architect, interior designer, photographer, and man-about-town Ernesto Santalla is the owner of Studio Santalla in Georgetown. He is known for his clean, modern, and ec0-conscious designs as well as his keen ability to bring the personality of his clients into his work. Recently, he put his stamp on this year’s CharityWorks GreenHouse when he designed its spa retreat using all sustainable resources. LEED accredited, Santalla designs with the intent of minimizing use of virgin resources while still building beautiful spaces. His recent projects are in and around Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Southern France.
