Client Experience:

Creating Connections That Last

An openly collaborative process is vital for creating spaces tailored to the people who use them. We take an empathetic approach to our projects, taking great care to understand our clients' needs and respond to them through design. In this way, our process blends human-centered design principals with architectural expertise to create built environments born out of strong personal connections.

Work With Us

The team at R3A was incredible to work with. They took the time to not only collaborate with our administration but also spoke with the students and faculty who would be using the finished spaces day in and day out. Through understanding and thoughtful consideration they created designs that met our unique needs and then went a step farther with creativity and customization we never would have dreamed of on our own.

Creative Experience:

A Multidisciplinary Approach

We work closely with our clients to realize spaces that will serve them for years to come. As we tackle spatial challenges at all levels of complexity, we continually adapt to evolving technologies, pedagogies, and ways of moving through the world. This constant evolution and critique — asking ourselves ‘how do we work smarter, faster, more efficiently’ — results in built environments designed to face the challenges and demands of a rapidly changing future. Our diverse portfolio is supported by research and investigation into the latest advances in technology, sustainability, and design excellence.

Team Experience:

Breaking Boundaries

Our team is unified by a ravenous curiosity and a passion for boundary-breaking design. While pragmatism is always a top consideration, we do not believe in such a thing as mundane space. Every site is an ecosystem with different resources, requirements, and workflows. Space not only influences a person’s ability to perform their work, play, or rest, but how they feel while doing so. As architects and designers, we believe that every built environment has the potential to positively affect someone’s day, year, or life via their interactions with it. Whether through intuitive pathfinding, ergonomic furniture fit-outs, or exciting aesthetic elements, we search out every avenue for creating positive change through design.
