Juste Tresor Gatari  is a licensed architect whose work fuses experimental and integrated design with cutting-edge technology. Currently based in Texas, he has contributed to the urban fabric of Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Among his high-rise projects are The Independent Tower and the Harvard Enterprise Research Center Hotel Tower.

Throughout his career, Juste has navigated a broad spectrum of transdisciplinary interests, from optimizing structural design in architecture to examining how scale shapes the urban experience. His expertise lies in facade design, where he harmonizes aesthetics and technical precision, exploring how design priorities emerge from programmatic needs, engineering principles, and building enclosures systems. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he has delved into the relationship between facade performance and the urban environment, conducting research across 25 cities in North America, Europe, and Asia.
