After graduating from Cornell with a bachelor's of architecture, Chad Oppenheim continued his education by living in Spain, Israel, Italy, and Japan. Once he returned to the United States, he spent five years working at Arquitectonica in Miami before founding Oppenheim Architecture + Design. Informed by his travels and appreciation for nature, his firm specializes in ambitious creations which celebrate the land such as the lush Ayla Golf Academy and Clubhouse in Aqaba, Jordan, or the Desert Rock Resort in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, built into natural rock formations.
