Meet Paul Cate
Thank you for visiting Cate Design. As an architect with over 45 years of experience, it has always been my passion to design beautiful, unique architecture which is responsible to the environment – what has come to be called ‘green’ design. Through close personal interaction with my clients, I endeavor to make each project appropriate to the southwest and site and uniquely special for my clients.
Through a close interaction as well with a very select group of technical consultants, Cate Design can provide services on a wide range of both residential and non-residential projects. And as a lifetime resident of Arizona, my knowledge of designing in the southwest and devotion to being appropriate to the special needs of my clients combine for truly one-of-a-kind projects which make them delighted for years to come.
I invite you to tour my website to learn more about me and my work. And I look forward to talking to you about your new project.
I also invite you call or stop by to visit Cate Studio and Gallery to see the stained glass offered by my wife Monika Cate. Enjoy!
– Paul Cate
