PROFESSIONAL BIO
Lachaba is a Grenadian born Architect, who spent most of his formative years in the small town of Gouyave and briefly in New York City before returning to Grenada to attend secondary school and community college. In 2006 on the basis of the destruction left by hurricane Ivan, Lachaba was selected to be the recipient of a national scholarship in Civil Engineering/Architectural studies in Mexico. Lachaba completed his studies in Architecture in 2010, and was later in 2012 granted professional Title of Architect in Mexico. Lachaba is currently undertaking an Online Masters Degree in Sustainable Development from Spain.
Since receiving the Title of Architect, Lachaba has worked in the architectural field for nearly 12 years, having worked as an Architect briefly in Mexico City and extensively in Grenada.
Lachaba started his career in the pursuit of Law and Accounting at A’Levels and was first employed in 2005 by Creative Designs Bld. & Co. Ltd, as an ACCA certified Accounts Technician, Level 1.
Nevertheless, with a childhood passion for architecture and later exposure to the inner workings of an established construction company as a young adult, while still employed Lachaba pursed a career change and returned the community college for night classes in architectural drafting, before being awarded a university scholarship for studies in this very field.
As an Architect, in 2012, Lachaba was employed as an Architect Designer for Fapresa Sa de Cv., the leading architectural pre-cast company in Mexico City. During this brief period, Lachaba prepared pre-cast shop drawings and quantification for a handful of high-rise accommodations, commercial and institutional buildings in Mexico City.
On returning to Grenada once more, in 2013, Lachaba was employed as an Associate Architect by the local award winning architectural practice, Caribbean Office of Co-Operative Architecture (COCOA). In 2020 Lachaba founded his own architectural practice, and has since been actively involved in the architectural design, planning and consultancy within the built environment of Grenada.
Throughout Lachaba's career both independently and working under award winning architectural practices, he has worked in the preparation of architectural planning and at times construction oversight for over seven dozen building projects, inclusive of civic, institutional, healthcare, hospitality, commercial, industrial and residential buildings, in addition to gated community and yacht marina development.
In a national service capacity Lachaba is currently Member of the Board of Directors of the Planning and Development Authority of Grenada. In this capacity Lachaba is directly involved in the technical and operational affairs of the authority. This involvement includes being part of the decision making on approvals and compliance of all building and infrastructure projects in Grenada.
