John Patino
Architecture Student
Patos Studio is the personal space where I share my work as I grow in architecture and design. It brings together my background in construction, my academic projects, and my interest in visual story telling.
Here you'll find drawings, models, renderings, and experiments that explore movement, structure, and the relationship between architecture and everyday life. This site isn't a studio offering services. It's a place to document my progress, my process, and the ideas I'm learning to express through design.
About Me
John Patino
John Patino is a Design Architecture student at County College of Morris in Randolph, New Jersey. Growing up around construction sites and later working on residential projects shaped his understanding of how design meets function. Guided by curiosity and a willingness to learn through trial and error, he values progress through persistence. John aims to create designs that not only work as intended but also feel like home. Skilled in AutoCAD, Revit, rendering, and construction, he is building his portfolio to transfer to NJIT and one day establish a firm dedicated to creating meaningful residential spaces.
Patos Studio
Our Mission
Our mission is to create architectural works that balance innovation with authenticity, blending creativity and craftsmanship to shape meaningful spaces. Each project is an exploration of movement, material and light. An opportunity to transform structure into expression.
The Name Pato comes from John's Last name, Patiño. A reflection of identity and evolution. In Spanish, pato also means duck, a creature known for adaptability across air, land, and water. This symbolizes the studio's philosophy.
Projects
Where Time Rests
A study in serenity and proportion.
Where wood, paper, and garden merge into quiet harmony. This home becomes a space of reflection, inviting time itself to rest.
Weightless Among The Stars
Lost among constellations, the dreamer drifts freely. Weightless and small, they become part of the cosmos itself.
A quiet surrender to infinity.
Flicker In The Hills
In the hills, flames rise like a sun reborn. Around the fire, they dance. Not for gods or glory, but for life itself. Their laughter echoes through the forest, free from walls, rules, and noise. Beneath the boundless sky, they celebrate the light that burns within all who choose to live unshackled
Philosophy Statement
At Patos Studio, design is a form of movement. A conversation between structure and emotion. Every project begins with curiosity, grows through construction knowledge, and ends in expression. We believe architecture should adapt like its users, balancing art and function to create spaces that feel both grounded and alive.
