John P. Bernal first joined Robert E. Taylor, AIA Architect P.A. (RET AIA), in 2016 as an Architectural Designer. In 2018, he accepted the Vice President position at RET after completing his Master of Architecture from the University of Florida.

He prefers to listen to clients and the users of a building to develop a design around their requirements for the project. With the seasoned eye he brings to every project, John can quickly see spaces and ideas three-dimensionally. His keen knowledge of building details assists him in creating architecture that appears to be effortlessly put together. John has designed multi-use sites, commercial structures, churches, residential homes, and healthcare facilities for regional clientele.
