2025 Women in Construction: Siena Falino, Urban Atelier Group

What is one project or achievement in your career that you are most proud of, and how did it impact your organization or community?

The project I am most proud of is my current project at 335 8^th Ave., Manhattan. I am proud of this project because my team and I have followed through on our plans from day one. We have addressed the unique design and sustainability requirements with an active drive to learn and implement the work for the best of the project.

Who or what has inspired you most in your career, and what advice would you share with the next generation of women entering the A/E/C industry?

The intense construction industry of the New York Metropolitan area continues to inspire me. My advice to the next generation of women entering the industry is to keep asking questions and challenging yourself and others around you.

What’s your favorite way to recharge or get inspired outside of work?

My favorite way to recharge & get inspired is traveling and experiencing architecture in other places.
