About Us

After working together for over 15 years and coming off the tail end of a significant economic downturn, co-founders Robert K. Morisette and Ivo Fernandez Jr. took a leap of faith to open their own architectural firm – MODIS Architects. With a desire of creating a positive work environment that would allow them to do what they love, while fostering a spirit of camaraderie, cultivate talent, and engage creativity; they opened their Miami studio in 2008.

Within a few years, MODIS Architects has grown into a mid-sized firm that has successfully delivered some high-profile projects. Today MODIS Architects is compiled with over 50 employees with its’ principals licensed in several states.
