New plants just moved into our plant wall here at RTA! 🌿Biophilic design isn't just a buzzword--it's about bringing nature into the spaces where we think, sketch, collaborate, & create. A little more green = a little more calm, creativity, & oxygen in the studio. Architecture should breathe and so should we.

The quiet corners matter just as much as the grand gestures. A tucked-away reading nook. A calm corridor between busy spaces. A stair landing with a window and a pause. Carving out moments of stillness inside the structure, because great buildings don't just hold activity...they hold breath.

Happy 1 year anniversary with RTA, Scott! We are proud to have you as part of our team and look forward to your continued great work to come! 🎉

Raised in East Lyme, Connecticut, Scott discovered his interest in architecture while playing in the woods buidling impressive forts with friends.

Architectural master planning is the big-picture magic ✨ It's where vision meets reality--balancing history, future growth, sustainability, and how people actually live, learn, and move through space. Done right, it turns a collection of buildings into a place with purpose...because great design isn't accidental--it's planned. 🏛️🌳

Old walls. New life. 🧱✨ Adaptive reuse lets historic masonry buildings do what they've always done best--endure--whilst quietly upgrading for modern needs: performance, flexibility, and sustainability. Preserving character doesn't mean freezing time; it means designing the next chapter.

The structural principle of an igloo is the same as any dome or arch. Each block in an igloo's curve helps disperse the gravitational pull and the center block (keystone) can't fall because its top is wider than its base. Stay warm, build an igloo!
