RKTB Architects Promotes Two Designers to Key Posts
RKTB Architects, P.C., has announced the promotions of two key design staff members, the most recent move in the firm’s commitment to advancing
architecture, city life and social equity. Known for innovative designs and a diverse portfolio in housing, educational, cultural, civic and healthcare architecture, RKTB has elevated Nelson Vega, Assoc. AIA, to Associate Principal at the firm, while Enrico Kurniawan, AIA, takes on the role of Associate. The promotions have been timed to coincide with the firm’s celebration of its 55th anniversary, according to RKTB.
Primarily focused on coordinating the design and construction phases for a diverse range of projects, Nelson Vega, a graduate of the City College of New York School of Architecture and Environmental Studies, joined RKTB in 1998, and he first rose to the level of Associate in 2003. Vega’s portfolio includes multifamily housing, private residences and schools, and hospital, transportation, theatre and adaptive reuse projects. Vega was prominently involved with the award-winning project 455 Central Park West, an adaptive reuse of an 1887 landmark building by the famed architect Charles Coolidge Haight with a new highrise residential tower, all approved by the New York State Historic Preservation Office. Vega’s recent leadership efforts include helping the project management of new market-rate and affordable housing projects throughout New York City.
