Meet Patrick

Patrick Latessa is the multifaceted creative and founder of Galileo Signature, a boutique residential building firm based in Northern Virginia. 

With an extensive background in construction, Patrick has built everything from Italian-inspired villas to contemporary homes. He is recognized for his distinct design style and attention to detail. Authenticity is at the center of Patrick’s philosophy costruire bene: to build well.

Patrick’s houses play with materiality and form to create an experience that blends modern building with classical design principles. Built to the highest quality, Galileo homes transcend a personalized resort-like feeling into everyday home living. Each home embodies its own character, as each element is thoughtfully designed and crafted to offer a unique experience.

To build a home, Patrick works with those who prioritize quality and continue to hone their craft from one project to the next. A father of four daughters, he has shared his creativity and expertise with them. You’ll often see Patrick working alongside a daughter (or two) on current projects. Another familiar face is Jorge Nunjar, a long-time project manager at Galileo who works beside Patrick to ensure the execution of each vision.
