About me

Ilya Bourim – Licensed California Architect

I am a Licensed California Architect, registered in multiple U.S. states, including New York, with extensive experience designing a diverse range of projects. My portfolio includes high-end residential, large commercial master plans, super high-rises, SOHO developments, community performance theaters, retail centers, franchise fast-food restaurants, drive-thru restaurants, gas/petrol stations, and high-end private clubhouse renovations and additions.

With a background in computer science, I bring a strong computational, parametric, and BIM design skillset to every project. I also have hands-on expertise in working with Structural Insulated Panels (SIP), combining innovation with efficiency to deliver thoughtful and high-quality architectural solutions.

During my studies at SCI-Arc, I worked as a Designer at RoTo Architects under Michael Rotondi, one of SCI-Arc’s co-founders. My work included 3D modeling using Maya and Rhino, hand sketching, and physical model building. These experiences strengthened my skills in teamwork, organization, and problem-solving.

Additionally, I contributed to architectural education by assisting in advanced studios and seminars at SCI-Arc, further deepening my understanding of design principles and their real-world applications.

As a registered architect with a multidisciplinary background, I remain passionate about leveraging technology and creativity to drive innovative and efficient design solutions across a variety of scales and project types.

Design Philosophy

My design philosophy is based on the belief that architecture should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

I focus on creating spaces that are not only visually striking but also comfortable, practical, and sustainable. I believe in a collaborative approach to design, working closely with my clients to understand their needs and preferences while incorporating innovative solutions that blend form and function seamlessly. I am passionate about creating buildings that enhance the lives of the people who use them, and that contribute positively to the environment and the community as a whole.
