PITCHON DESIGN GROUP: THE TEAM

---

As  founding principal of THE PITCHON DESIGN GROUP, Alina has put together a group of professionals she has collaborated with throughout her more than 20 years of experience in the design field; professionals whom she  trusts to put forward the optimum design experience for our clients.

With  a Master's of Architecture degree from The Columbia Graduate School of  Architecture and Planning, Alina has had the privilege of working with I.M. Pei & Partners, Costas Kondylis and Partners and Gal Nauer  Architects. She has had a private practice in Connecticut since 1998.

Having  worked on a variety of projects  -- high-rise residential  buildings, a 5-star resort and spa in Gdansk, Poland,  The Plaza Las  Vegas, The Plaza NYC, the first 350' building to be built in Stamford, CT (Trump Parc), a master  plan and residential building for Doha, Qatar, as well as innovative  private residences -- she brings a well-rounded and sound approach to any  design issue. Due to the varied nature of her experience, Alina also has  extensive experience with Planning and Zoning Boards, numerous  developers and construction companies, structural and mechanical  engineers as well as artists and talented tradespeople.

Her  enthusiasm for creating beautiful structures that are a joy to behold  and inhabit, her love of people, their stories and  her ability to  coordinate all participants of a project make her a natural choice as  the design professional to put your trust in.

Megan Robertson is a second-generation builder — a second-generation  female builder. Early architectural influences came from her mother, who  chose a career in construction at a time when few women were going into  the field, and few were welcomed there. We are very lucky, indeed, to be working together. Her attention to detail and her hearing what our clients are asking for are highly valued attributes.

“I grew up around construction,” said Robertson, of MLR  Properties in Monroe, whose inspiration may also have come from her  grandfather, who was a mason. Construction is still a male-dominated  profession but that does not intimidate Robertson, who has been  successful designing and building houses on speculation in Fairfield  County — including several in Westport, and beyond. She also renovates  existing houses, including restoration of historic homes, and has won  the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Connecticut HOBI Award  for outstanding remodel of a home in the Northeast (in the town of  Essex).

Wilson Contreras is one of the hardest working GCs around. No job is too small or too big for him to do and his immediate response to our clients' needs is impressive. Wilson has worked on home renovations in Westport and New Canaan. 

As an American citizen from Ecuador, Wilson is keenly aware of the the importance of home. He will work with you in adhering to your budget and takes great pride in his work.
