Marco Zaccaro has been a resident of Girdwood, Alaska for most of his life and a respected member of the design and construction industry in Alaska for over 30 years.

Marco graduated on the chancellor's honor list with a bachelor's degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1989 and then completed a master's program in architecture at the University of Oregon in 1997.

He has since designed numerous residential and commercial projects throughout Alaska emphasizing integration of structure, aesthetics, and environment. Projects include an award-winning upscale wilderness lodge in Kenai Fjords National Park and a timber frame Methodist Church built primarily with volunteer labor.

Marco shares the Alaskan passion for outdoor activities and enjoys backcountry skiing, hiking, biking, and kayaking. He values spending time with his three children Dessa, Brenner, and Leland, and looks forward to opportunities to travel with them. His more recent travels include trips to Jordan and Syria, a trip to Nepal with his mother and sister, a trip to Chile with his daughter, and another family trip to Spain.

His experiences and perspectives developed over a long period of time make him an invaluable asset to current and future developments in Southcentral Alaska. Marco works hard to meet the goals and vision of each client he serves and support the communities where he works. He is committed to the long-term success of sustainable development and architecture within his own community and Alaska in general.
