What we do

rabarchitects is a contemporary architectural practice offering a comprehensive and personalized service to its clients. From institutional spaces, private residences, to commercial buildings and office spaces our expertise has evolved holistically to accommodate any design brief.
Fundamental to our work is a highly refined approach to design, with an emphasis on planar geometries, an innovative use of materials, and the relationships we form with the patrons of our service and architectural vision. This focus is not only complemented with, but informed by, a sensitive and inventive approach to context and vernacular.
By investigating this organizational intelligence within a narrative of contextual engagement, our designs are emotional explorations of space, crafted to test the true potential architecture has to offer to our clients and to the wider discourse.
This combination of capabilities has allowed this young architectural practice to develop a reputation for exciting, contemporary and user-oriented design.
