About Us
Claudia Franco, AIA NCARB
Principal
Architecture is more than just my profession; it has been an integral part of my life for over 25 years. My bi-cultural background allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, drawing inspiration from my Mexican roots and experiences while embracing American architectural practices. I’m passionate about creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful.
I see every day as an opportunity to design spaces that not only meet the needs of the user, but in every project, my aim is to create well-organized, peaceful, and enjoyable environments that enhance people’s experiences and enrich their lives.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to design spaces that make a positive impact on the world around me.
Carlos Lausso, NCARB
Principal
Architecture has always been part of who I am. Growing up in Ecuador, I was fascinated by how things were built and how spaces could shape the way people live. That curiosity became a lifelong passion, leading me to work on diverse projects across Ecuador and the United States.
After moving to the U.S. in 2001, I refined my craft in California and later established roots in Las Vegas, where I became a licensed architect through NCARB in 2017. Today, I lead C&C Architecture Studio with a focus on sustainability, collaboration, and human-centered design.
What drives me most is the people I work with, clients, collaborators, and my team. I believe in open communication, mentorship, and a shared vision of creating spaces that not only serve but also connect communities. Architecture, to me, is about building more than structures; it’s about building trust and belonging.

"We hired CCARCHS to create a high-level plot plan for our 40-acre Porter BA Ranch in central Texas. Carlos and his team visited the property and nearby College Station to understand the broader context, which immediately impressed us. We highly recommend CCARCHS to anyone seeking creative, site-sensitive design solutions."
