For us architecture is a collaborative and team process. We listen to and work closely with our clients through all phases of the project; beginning planning & programming, schematic design, design development, structural engineering coordination, energy analysis with mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination, construction documentation, acquiring permits, bid- schedule estimating & negotiating and construction administration.

Our inhouse Design-build workshop supports our ability to design, create and fabricate in a range of scales. From architectural products and features, to mockups & full-scale building components, to the production of large scale sculptures and complex structures. The workshop is certified in steel and aluminum welding as well as equipped to assemble a wide array of materials as projects require. Our design process and workshop function in tandem to deliver innovative, efficient, tested and sustainable work products.  

The origins of our collaboration began with the realization that ideas could be rapidly expanded and assumptions tested through collaboration and building - a working practice that has sustained us to this day. As our planet faces ever greater challenges we continue to believe in the power of collaboration to support human connections and community, encourage innovation through collective creativity and build toward a shared environment in tune with nature. 

Whether designing or building, rhiza A+D’s practice is rooted in our belief in collaboration, our respect for craft and our dedication to creating cultural and climate sensitive objects and spaces.
