RGA’S APPROACH TO DESIGN The creation of a project goes beyond unanimated preparation of plans and specifications. Creativity alone is not adequate.  Our projects are simple needs for shelter and a set of complex needs simultaneously.  We must keep both extremes in mind in all decisions made. One project calls for a response to a limited budget.  Another allows for greater financial flexibility in solving the problem.  In both, we hold design integrity and value in mind.  All Owners deserve spaces with well-conceived and thoughtfully-detailed solutions. Imagination is not enough.  Pragmatism is not sufficient.  Providing site-responsive, environmentally-conscious designs falls short.  Our professional and social responsibilities go well beyond.  We must solve for the 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.
