Our Philosophy

R.P.M. Architects is an environmental design firm specializing in healthy, energy efficient and environmentally responsible projects in the commercial, educational and residential sectors.

Our primary role is that of a professional guide.  With our education, training and experience, we can help you define your building requirements, get the most for your construction dollar, and offer creative solutions to your building needs. 

We see the big picture.  We create total environments which address your local climate, site location and orientation, codes and zoning, and high fire requirements.  We take into consideration the path of the sun, prevailing wind direction, natural site drainage, privacy and views.  The resulting designs are safe, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. 

Whenever possible we promote the use of non-toxic building materials and finishes.  We advocate control of indoor air-quality.  We plan for water efficiency and drought tolerant landscaping.  We employ cost effective design and construction techniques and develop harmonious and attractive architecture.
