RGA’S APPROACH TO DESIGN Project creation goes beyond unanimated preparation of plans and specifications. Projects are at once simple needs for shelter and a set of complex needs.  We keep both extremes in mind in all decisions made. One project calls for a response to a limited budget. Another allows for financial flexibility in solving the problem.  In both, we hold design integrity and value in mind.  Owners deserve spaces with well-conceived and thoughtfully-detailed solutions. Creativity alone is not adequate.  Pragmatism is not sufficient. Site-responsive, environmentally-conscious designs falls short.  Professional and social responsibilities go well beyond.  We must solve for a comprehensive set of concerns. Our Client’s challenges define our work.  The association usually lasts for years.  We listen to the request to solve a problem not only at the initial meeting but continue to listen and solve until the project is occupied. Adherence to this approach is the way we plan our work, the way we check ourselves while doing our work and is the way we differentiate our responsibilities to our Clients from our own desires.
