Tyler Patin had a long career in real estate before he decided to launch his own design and development company, studioPATINA. His focus now is on building affordable homes and nurturing communities in New York and New Orleans.
When we met Tyler and heard the story of how he started his business, we knew we needed to share it out.
So without further ado... here's Tyler!
Name: Tyler Patin
Job: Founder and CEO at studioPATINA Design + Development
Founded: January 2014
Q: How did studioPATINA come about?
A: studioPATINA was an idea to merge my interests in architecture and interior design with real estate development.
Having worked on numerous mixed use and multi-family development projects over the years, I felt as though there was a disconnect between the design intent that initially drove these projects and the development teams in charge of making them viable. I wanted to offer a fully integrated design service to allow for quality control in addition to cost in all aspects of project delivery, from start to finish.
Q: What are the biggest challenges you face with having a small business in the real estate development world?
A: Diving into the world of development can be a scary undertaking. Raising the capital needed to make real estate development projects become a reality is difficult. You have to understand the financial and social aspects that come into play when taking on such projects, as it affects much more than just those who are closely involved.
What brought us into the world of development – especially in our home markets of New York and New Orleans – was how we as designers could make a positive impact in cities that lack adequate and (most importantly) affordable housing. I believe it's our ethical obligation as a firm of design professionals and developers to tackle these long overlooked issues.
This is such an awesome question that some of our amazing and inspiring entrepreneurs can likely answer very well :smileyhappy: :
