NORBERTO (he/him)

Norberto is a Venezuelan born model based in Montreal. He is a retired architect and, most importantly, a father and grand-father. He sails, no matter the wind, the alchemy of lived experience and unexplored terrains. Living with a creative outlook sprung from an architecture training and practice and driven by a consistent effort to match the dynamics of daily life with the evolution of the living space; architecture is a way of life. Foundational to this life approach is the influence of a youth in high-performance sports, discipline that enriched his intentional approach to a day-to-day search for a better life. 

What detail of your practice do you always try to put forward?

The driving objective in my life path has at this point, distilled down to the search for the fundamentals, motivation and new experiences to navigate, simple and at the same time sophisticated as the search for the basics gets, recognizing the origin of the complex scene that depicts the moment - At this point, I’ve lost interest in the superfluous that once mattered to me. A simple space is all I need to get close to the magic of living.

Norberto has also gone viral for his fit checks with Estudio Niksen.
