We Are ACSW

Our Firm

ACSW has a combined 57-year history of designing award-winning projects for all typologies from master planning to interiors to commercial and civic architecture. Our experience spans from new-building design, exterior renovations and additions, interior renovations, as well as programming, overall campus planning, and community engagement.

Our success begins with taking the time to really get a deep understanding of the client, their business’ trajectory, and their short and long term needs and goals. We believe that good design is developed in a team environment. All team members work hand-in-hand, allowing for their unique perspectives and understanding of the client to influence the outcome of the project in a powerful, collective, and positive way.

Our passion for planning, architecture, and interior design permeates all that we do. Each client is valued. Each project is a strong personal expression. Each solution is a clean, uncluttered statement of design intent, balanced with functionality.

Natalie Breaux, Associate AIA

Architectural Designer

A Native of Lafayette Parish, Natalie attended Cathedral Carmel School and Saint Thomas More High School. Her first experiences with architecture occurred with her parents driving around town looking at houses being built for fun. These experiences left Natalie at twelve years old, drawing floor plans in the backseat of the car and knowing that her dream job was to be an Architect. In 2018, she made this dream come true and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies followed by a Master of Architecture degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Shortly after, she was hired onto the ACSW Architects’ team as an Emerging Professional. Her current skill sets include Project Management and Construction Administration.

Natalie believes that architecture should provide equity, safety, and happiness to its users. Outside of the office, you can find her studying to become a licensed Architect, playing roller derby for Acadiana’s local team, and competing in Crossfit competitions for fun.

Eric Crozier, AIA

Principal Architect

For Eric Crozier, there’s no such thing as an impossible deadline or an issue that can’t be worked out. As a principal of ACSW Architects, Eric’s primary role and expertise is in business development, marketing, and project management. This experience has encompassed a wide variety of projects ranging from multiple Parish civic buildings to large multi-facility master plans, office buildings and banks to new K-12 Schools and Higher Education facilities – namely Southside High School and the new Russo Park at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field. This diversity helps him produce a confident atmosphere of partnering which is conducive to creative design and problem-solving.

“Within the linear process of designing and building, there are a lot of little tornados, things that have to get resolved without derailing a project.”

Eric actually enjoys wrangling those tornados. “I like complexity,” he says.

When Eric gets the opportunity to have free time, he is actively involved with UL’s Athletic events, hunting and fishing with family and friends, and cheering on his daughter at all of her athletic games throughout the year.

Gregory V. Damico, AIA

Principal Architect

In his over 20 years with ACSW Architects, Greg has worked as Lead Designer, Project Architect, and Project Manager though a variety of projects ranging from small clinics and offices to large student unions and churches. He works diligently with the planning studio on campus plans and urban developments to help assure that all of our work provides a sense of place and promotes community.

He has a thorough understanding of the latest BIM modeling and document trends which has allowed him to visualize and understand projects in a manner that allows the final product to be delivered on time and on budget, but also as something more than the sum of its parts. He and his team’s objective, on every project, is to ensure our clients’ needs are not only met, but that the resulting environment fosters the best from every person that experiences it.

Greg has nurtured 3 main passions outside of architecture over the last 30 years; working on vintage cars, watercolor painting conceptual architecture, and hi-fidelity vinyl music playback. All of which help relax and help nurture his search for precision, creating, and focus.

Khoa Le, Associate AIA

Architectural Designer

Khoa’s educational experience includes a Bachelor of Sciences in Architectural Studies degree in 2014 at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and immediately stayed on the path to receive a Master of Architecture degree in 2016. As a designer, his primary roles are to carry projects from the early stages of schematic design into construction administration. Prior professional experience includes custom residential design throughout South Louisiana, historical renovations, and project renderings. During his graduate studies, Khoa got to explore how Architecture can be the bridge between different cultures. Coming from an immigrant family, he understands how Architecture can successfully be the bridge that adds to the built environment. Along with 9-5 grind, Khoa is also diligently studying towards getting his architecture licensure.

What sparked his passion to become an architect is his childhood memory of dad consistently attempting to be “the handyman” of various projects around the home. Needless to say, Khoa observed the dos and don’ts of the built environment. When he is not at the office, Khoa is passionate about hitting the pavement and burning some miles on the road through running and cycling. One of the major joys in life for Khoa is to peruse the aisles of health food grocery stores and finding the latest and greatest products on the market.
