SRS Group Shot

About Us

Eventually, every organization and business takes on the character of its principals: the chief features of their personalities have a trickle-down effect. Delve into the heart of SRS and you'll discover its most significant aspect: building trusting relationships and collaborations. Early on in his career, for founder Manny Synalovski, there was no conscious choice about his relationships with others. It's in his very nature to value integrity, honesty, and frankness as he builds a collaborative spirit and relationships with clients, contractors, and his team of co-workers. It's no surprise that Merrill Romanik, Jose Saye, and the team he assembled as SRS grew are people of like minds: the law of attraction is truly at work.

While SRS team members are all experienced, talented professionals, what sets them above the mark is their consummate diligence, attention to detail, and thoroughness. Each project is respectfully treated and managed as if it were the "only project": from project analysis to programming, to master planning, architectural design, bidding, permitting, interior design, and contract administration. Whatever it takes, no matter how small a detail, the SRS team is unequivocally committed to satisfying, and exceeding, every client's expectations.

Founder

Founder and managing principal, Manny is responsible for ensuring the availability of resources to support clients' projects, establishing architectural design objectives, and ultimately promising that clients' objectives are consistently met. He has considerable expertise in academic facilities, retail, hospitality, municipal, religious, mixed-use workplace, and residential design projects.

Born in Cuba and raised in Puerto Rico, Manny and his family relocated to Miami in 1981. For as long as he can remember, Manny aspired to the field of architecture. After earning his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1983, he began his practice and succeeded at opportunities both within South Florida and beyond.

His professional affiliations and community service roles are legendary. And those who know him best, know Manny as an individual of impeccable character, candor, integrity, and intelligence. A son of many cultures, Manny is an extraordinary communicator — attentive listener, responsive spokesperson, diplomatic negotiator, consensus-seeker, and problem-solver. Manny's gift for relationship building stands him in good stead with clients, government bodies, community leaders, and contractor partnerships. Manny is married to Lisa Kliegman Synalovski, an award-winning general contractor.

Nicholas Amadori

Nicholas Amadori

When SRS critiqued Nicholas Amadori’s portfolio and CV prior to hiring, the team was appreciably impressed by his imaginative vision, sense of purpose, and leadership abilities.

Born in South Florida, Nicholas was introduced to architecture with a summer program at Florida Atlantic University while he was in high school. Part of a dual college/high school magnet enrolment program of scientific visualization, Nicholas went on to the University of Miami, fascinated by the opportunities for art and creativity in the field of architecture.

There, Nicholas responded to a variety of design challenges that spanned this world and beyond, offering a broad spectrum of assignments. Projects included an affordable residential duplex in Little Haiti, a North Miami Beach youth center, a museum embedded in an ocean cliffside near a volcano, a post-nuclear dystopian city, and a modernistic apartment complex complementing the Venetian palaces of Venice, Italy.

During his student years, Nicholas worked as a teacher’s aide, as an architectural intern, as assistant for a veterinary practice, and customer service at a national retail chain, gaining valuable real-world experiences and absorbing professional criteria for high performance and responsibility.

Already proficient in architectural software skills, Nicholas is as astute with the smallest detail of a plan as he is with imaginative design concepts.

Bashayr Aloufi, ASID

Bashayr Aloufi, ASID

Bashayr has traveled halfway around the world, from Saudi Arabia, to live in the United States, to study, to work, and to raise a family here. Like many people who have come from other places, Bashayr shares the American dream of achieving success in the field she is passionate about.

The youngest of six siblings, Bashayr has been enchanted with the notion of creating colorful houses since childhood. She dreamed about rainbow-hued rooms, thinking them through in crayon and color-penciled drawings upon drawings. At college, she was one of the first girls to enroll in Taif University’s brand-new interior design program. Still hungry for further education, Bashayr, with her husband, settled in Miami, where she pursued a master’s degree in Interior Architecture.

While Bashayr has mastered the hard skills of design application — Revit, AutoCAD, and Adobe Photoshop — she is equally confident in design ingenuity, artistic intuition, and the functionality of a practical solution to a client’s need. In this regard, she considers the physical and material details of an interior — colors and textures of walls, ceilings, and flooring; selection and arrangement of furnishings and decorative accents; as well as the utility of the space in response to its purpose. Bashayr anticipates designing spaces for the workplace, healthcare, hospitality, and retail projects as part of the SRS team.

A young mother, Bashayr’s family time includes fun with her husband and son, whether horseback riding, kayaking, or beach visits.

Ilan Aronovski

Ilan Aronovski

It’s as if Ilan Aronovski was born to be a member of the SRS team, bright with the power and depth of his creative mind, exploring architectural solutions that sustain and protect planetary well-being.

The SRS team thrives on the interplay between practitioners with decades-long experience as well as new recruits who echo their skill sets, driving energy, exceptional communication skills, and ambitious goals. Together they propel the firm forward to meet challenges of sustainability, climate and weather encounters, and budget issues that make a new project feasible and guarantee its successful implementation.

Brainy and imaginative, Ilan’s work reveals futuristic projects that are unique in scope and push the edges of design to address the interface between natural and urban environments. He has plunged beyond the skill set of technology to study the geophysical ecosystem− flora and fauna, tides and weather− and envisioning startling approaches that include livable tree houses and homes built on stilts above the ocean, while nurturing marine life-forms.

Ilan, like others on the team, was chosen from a multicultural background, since it often provides a vast and rich spectrum of history and traditions. Ilan is the son of a Brazilian-Lithuanian father and a Cuban-Turkish mother, who met and married in Miami. His intelligence is founded in this broad universality. His extended family is large, and while Ilan grew up primarily in Miami, he, his siblings, and parents traveled far and wide to interconnect with far-flung family members−to Turkey, Brazil, South Africa, and Cyprus−as well as his personal explorations abroad in Italy and Portugal. The benefits of such a background is a critical element in serving South Florida’s diverse and growing population.

His design portfolio portrays his dreams, creative vision, and aspirational solutions for community development in threatened natural environments. Ilan grew up in a small island community off Miami’s coast, where he recalls fishing, sailing, and swimming. He has taken a deep dive into the ecosystems of the land- and waterscapes of the state, sensitive to a rising sea level, as well as the conditions facing aging infrastructure at risk from storm and erosion.

Mercedes Civantos Capella

Mercedes Civantos Capella

Mercedes joined the SRS team in 2021, a year that challenged the world to reimagine our “normal” way of life and find new solutions to conduct business safely, to manage public health concerns, to overcome economic challenges of supply and demand, to respond to climate and sustainability issues, and to stay on track to deliver on promises made. These are the conditions under which SRS has navigated and succeeded for more than three decades, and has earned the respect of its peers with the 2021 AIA award of “Architectural Firm of the Year.”

Born into a family of architects in Spain, Mercedes has been fascinated with imagining and drawing floor plans since a child. Educated in Spain, Mercedes faced her own personal transition when she relocated to the U.S. 20 years ago, starting a family and continuing her professional development in the Virginia/Washington, DC area. Since then, Mercedes has achieved proven success in working on multidisciplinary projects with complex requirements. With the benefits of blended European and American cultures, Mercedes is well-qualified to absorb and thread her way through the specific and varied protocols, regulations, and codes demanded in an ever-changing industry.

She is, she says, “passionate about creating sustainable buildings and healthy spaces.” Her creative practice begins with establishing a collaborative working relationship early in the design process to create a strong foundation for success. Mercedes’ community ideal is based on the European model of a walkable, harmonious, sustainable, and interactive environment designed to promote mental and physical health and well-being.

The mother of two young sons, Mercedes loves to travel with them, exploring beaches and new destinations where they’ve never visited before, or delving into nooks and crannies of their South Florida hometown, always curious and inspired by the architecture they discover wherever they are.

Mayra Cohen-Mora

Mayra Cohen-Mora, RID, ASID, IIDA, LEED AP

Mayra Cohen-Mora not only wanted to travel and explore the world, but to shape it too. As a consummate urban designer and interior design professional, Mayra Cohen-Mora joins SRS to amplify the successes and market reach of our award-winning interior design studio.

A graduate of Pratt Institute in New York City, Mayra’s opportune entry into the field of architecture included world-class projects at JFK and LaGuardia airports, Grand Central Station, the World Trade Center, Port Authority, and the Big Apple’s fashion hub, Bloomingdale’s.

From the start, Mayra held fast to her bold dreams of international discovery and the creative visionwork it inspired, as she took on greater and more diverse challenges, designing, managing, and bringing projects to fulfillment. In fact, her enthusiasm for globe-trotting was attended by design opportunities in the airline industry, port terminals and cruise ships, and hospitality settings. She served in localities from New York City to Miami and throughout Florida, from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic to Panama and Brazil, from Aruba to Saudi Arabia. Her mastery of craft is evident from illustrative drawings to product selection that reflects resilience and climate sensitivity, from team management to exceeding clients’ satisfaction in contract administration and meeting timeline requirements.

A consummate team leader and mentor, Mayra also is a vibrant communicator who is as comfortable with delivering presentations and design proposals as she is with developing budgets and storyboards for every venture.

In her own words, “I work to extract the unique culture within each project through observation and research, to promote quality design and creative thinking.”

Carlos Diaz

Carlos Diaz

The field of architecture challenges and engages both sides of the human brain, as we understand neuroscience today. The left side: analytical, verbal, and sequential in thinking. The right side: perceptual, visual, and more globally conceptual.

With visual imagination, architecture can be dynamic, adaptable to changing human progress and life. With analytical detail, a structure can be viable, sustainable, and endurable.

Carlos Diaz is an architectural draftsman, whose work integrates functions of both sides of the brain. He is impassioned by envisioning building elevations as well as the precise technical drawing that is the basis of all civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering construction documents. Like an orchestra, there would be no harmony or success in constructing a building without a conductor to coordinate the structure’s interdisciplinary components.

Carlos has been an architectural draftsman since 1992. In Puerto Rico, he worked with architects Horacio Diaz, F.A.I.A., and Eduardo Diaz, A.I.A., for 22 years until his 2015 relocation to Fort Lauderdale.

Carlos and his wife, Carmen, are raising two sons, Dennis and Dan, now teenagers. He hopes one day to help expand SRS' reach into Puerto Rico.

Moshe Laniado

Moshe Laniado

A successful architectural project is more than design, more than clever innovation, more than striking material components. It demands purity of purpose and intention, and ethical responsibility to the community it serves.

Serving community is a passion that inspires Moshe Laniado. As a rabbinical student in Miami, his first calling, Moshe volunteered to work on the process of building a new synagogue. The development intrigued him: from construction drawings to buildout and to the ultimate purpose of serving the congregation. The experience opened a new pathway for Moshe and a decision: as an architect, he envisioned, he would not only serve the community and public interest, but change and improve the human environment to a more purposeful level.

Since 2016, Moshe has worked as a project architect on design-build assignments, in both residential and commercial fields; as an architectural designer, creating interior design packages for tenant improvements and renovations; and even as part of the consulting team for two new synagogues.

At SRS, Moshe brings well-articulated views, a fresh perspective, diverse experiences, and a sense of purpose arising from a revered tradition.

Rouzbeh Rahmadinejad

Rouzbeh Rahmadinejad

The language of architecture is international, but the practice varies across the world. Transitioning from Tehran, Iran, in 2014, Rouzbeh was impressed by the extensive regulations that govern construction in the United States, and eagerly absorbed these building codes as tools for ensuring the highest standards of endurance and environmental harmony.

Educated in both engineering and architecture, Rouzbeh particularly enjoys the interface between the two disciplines as he works out the intricate specifications of individual projects, gently guiding clients through a process that requires decisions at each and every phase of development.

After completing his education in Tehran, Rouzbeh and his wife, Matineh Keshavarz, also an architect, were principals and architects of their own firm for seven years. As their young family grew, however, their dream was to migrate to the United States, where their daughters would enjoy greater opportunities.

Their dream was actualized when they relocated to South Florida, and Rouzbeh held positions as senior architectural designer and project manager for residential, commercial, and mixed-use ventures as well as government, public service, and academic structures.

SRS welcomes Rouzbeh as a valuable asset to its talented team, an international “family” culled from the States, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East. SRS’s multicultural environment ⎯ reflecting the diverse population of South Florida ⎯ empowers Rouzbeh to fully demonstrate his leadership, communication, management, and creative skills as he guides clients to “Think Success.”

Catherine Spinnenweber-Salow

One of five children, Catherine Spinnenweber-Salow recalls her childhood home in Miami was always under construction because her dad, a product designer, construction manager, and general contractor, continually sought to bring out its full potential.

Inspired by her father, the best and brightest outcome was that Catherine followed in his footsteps and became an architect. For the past three decades, Catherine has been responsible for the conceptual design, construction documents and administration, and project management for many noteworthy South Florida landmarks.

While Catherine has the professional credentials, she also has the communication and management skills that are often nurtured in large families. As a sibling among five brothers and sisters, and mother of four, Catherine is well versed in creating consensus and harmony among stakeholders, whether family, professional associates, or funding and governing entities.

In her role as a senior SRS architect, Catherine coordinates a team poised to shepherd through major multi-million-dollar projects that will change South Florida’s cultural landscape. Management of such significant projects demands a wide swath of technological know-how as well as consummate diplomatic skills as construction proceeds under the watchful eyes of institutional and public stakeholders. Catherine, an avowed “people pleaser,” is the right person at the right time to command a smooth construction process through successful completion.
