Custom Home Designer & Architect Ana Maria Monsalvo

Ana Maria Monsalvo’s path to becoming an accomplished architect, custom home designer, and 3D architectural visualization specialist began early in her life in Colombia. Excelling in technical drafting and fine arts, her passion for creating harmonic spatial compositions on a 2D plane led her to the architecture program at Universidad Piloto de Colombia in Bogota.

Studying under leading architectural professors, Ana Maria graduated at the top of her class. Her undergraduate thesis on 3D representation of public space earned institutional recognition as one of the university's benchmark student works.

Following graduation, Ana Maria designed high-end residences and luxury estates for prestigious clients in Bogota and served as chief architect on mid- and high-rise residential buildings that remain part of the Bogota and Cali skylines today.

Now based in the Greater Houston & Katy, TX area, Ana Maria has designed custom upscale estates, modern villas, craftsman bungalows, and multi-unit townhomes in Houston's most sought-after neighborhoods—including Memorial, Houston Heights, Rice Military, Katy, Cypress, and The Woodlands.

Recognizing that clients and builders often struggle to visualize flat 2D AutoCAD blueprints, Ana Maria earned three international certifications in advanced 3D rendering software. Today, 3D Houzz Design bridges architectural drafting precision with photorealistic 3D visualization—allowing homeowners, builders, remodelers, realtors, and investors across Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio to walk through their project before construction begins.
