Every client connection becomes a partnership that RAD enters with integrity and responsiveness.

Every project is a collaboration in which we engage with the expertise to minimize our client’s risk.

It’s a whole lot less about us and our designs than it is about our clients and their projects. We work backwards…proforma talk.

We know that a project has to work on a spreadsheet before it works on an easel, and that it has to work for the customers for it to work for the owner.
We take great care to focus on the project’s ambitions and challenges before we ever begin to create a solution.

RAD leverages all of the latest design tools and technology in the industry to maximize our team’s efficiency. From concept to construction, we create all of our work using 3-D software. This allows us to produce construction drawings and renderings from the same process, helping our clients to visualize and then market their projects. As the project evolves, design changes can easily be re-rendered and evaluated to see the impact of each decision.

RAD is a LEED Accredited firm comprised of creative professionals with extensive experience in a wide range of projects including medical facilities, assisted and senior living, mixed-use developments, multi-family, retail centers and renovations of all kinds.
