RDC.
We take a collaborative approach that results in architecture, planning and interiors that are of enduring value to our clients and their communities. Architecture and Master Planning Our experienced team focuses on the mix of uses that create community, designing districts where values of design, equity, sustainability, mobility, and sense of place are paramount. Our depth and breadth of work allows us to draw on the perspective of our team members and the variety of projects with which we engage. Interiors We subscribe to a narrative-driven design process in which we translate the story’s conceptual qualities into an architectural vocabulary. Our projects express their narratives through a sequencing of moments along the user’s path. As these moments reveal more details, they eventually add to the project’s story in its entirety. Branding Whether it’s creating a new brand, revitalizing an existing brand, or bridging an identity to a physical space, we bring a wealth of expertise and hands-on stewardship to advance the brand into the next chapter of its existence. Procurement We are procurement specialists that achieve harmony between a project’s unique aesthetic, fiduciary, and strategic parameters. Our process focuses on the value achieved through transparency and collaboration with the full project team. Store Planning Store Planning is what takes you from your first flagship/prototype location to a fleet of locations. We will help you identify the foundational elements of your brand and repeat that across multiple real estate opportunities. Expansion is limitless.
