BEYZA DEMIRTAS,

AIA, LEED-AP®, MANAGING PRINCIPAL

Beyza Demirtas was introduced to LDA in 2008, immediately impressing us with her broad professional skills. Highlighted by her extensive field experience and understanding of constructability, LDA invited her to immigrate and become an integral part of collaborative team.

She has worked on many diverse and complex projects in both the private and public sectors. Significant projects include, multi-family housing in Sacramento and San Francisco, the International University Sports Tennis Stadium in Izmir, Turkey, and a 3-story Auto Mall Showroom and Repair Facility for Volkswagen. In particular, her work on a health spa utilizing natural geothermal hot springs kindled a keen interest in sustainable design and creative energy sources – she is our in-house LEED-AP® and the root of our environmental conscience.

Her proven versatility and adaptability, founded on solid principals of technical expertise and a collaborative working style, has rapidly propelled Beyza to greater levels of responsibility in service to our clients.
