Since 1983 RJA-Architecture has been consistently utilizing sustainable design principles before the term 'sustainable' became fashionable or common. Vitruvius wrote that "Architects must be sensitive to the local environment" and those words are the core of the philosophy of our firm. Whether located in the Sonoran Desert, the historic urban core of Tempe, or the tall pines of Flagstaff, the context of the sites have deeply informed the architecture of our firm. This team embraces an architecture that is responsive to its context as the fundamental basis for a sustainable built environment.
To enrich the world and the lives of those who live in it by creating a more beautiful, functional, and sustainable built environment that endures the test of time. RJA-Architecture is a full service architectural firm. Master planning and long term planning are a specialty of our firm. RJA is experienced in providing comprehensive review and analysis of existing sites and facilities. This process provides our clients with the knowledge and information to validate the existing conditions and assess current and future needs.
