Philosophy

Our philosophy is one that places our clients at the center of our work. The architecture and interior design that we create is always a reflection of our clients' goals achieved through a collaborative process. RDB is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to design that explores all influences on a project including cultural, technological and economic factors. For each project the design framework is developed and defined together as a team. We believe the success of our projects is due in part to the teamwork within our office environment which encourages new ideas, the transfer of knowledge and creativity.

History

RDB was founded in 1995 by its principals after 12 years of previous collaboration. RDB is a Florida corporation registered to perform architecture and interior design in Florida and various other states.

RDB is unique in its ability to fully integrate the programming, space planning and interior design process with the architectural design development. This interior-exterior integrated process insures that our designs fully meet the user's functional needs.

Our firm consists of architects, interior designers and administrative managers. RDB's production capabilities are extremely high due to our experienced staff and to the engineering consultants with which we have developed long term relationships. RDB outsources all of the structural, mechanical and electrical engineering design, and we have therefore been able to align ourselves with the most qualified and most cost effective engineering professionals in the region. This "partnering" process has allowed RDB to tailor our design teams specifically to satisfy the technical requirements of our clients projects and has resulted in our firms reputation as a quality and service oriented design firm.
