Why we’re different?

At RT STUDIO, we differentiate ourselves by only working in Modern Residential design, and to provide you with the caring and support for the success of your project

  • A simple process that will show you what can you build, how much it will cost, and how long it will take. We also offer this service as a separate package.

  • You should not be forced to make a design decision until you are completely certain about getting the project you desire and can afford it. We believe in a healthy collaboration.

  • We offer 3D visualization and shareable Virtual Reality services, starting from the initial design concepts all the way to the final product. This allows you to have a clear understanding of what you will be getting before the project gets built. By providing a 3D model, it not only benefits you as the client but also helps to minimize any coordination errors for the contractor, as they can better grasp the architect's design intentions. Also, you can share it with your family and friends, and get their input.

  • We approach each project with sustainable principles in mind, maximizing wellness and energy efficiency. By using these methods, we can produce unparalleled and dynamic spaces that reunite the synergy between nature and the people within.

  • Each client has unique preferences and financial flexibility when it comes to their project. That's why we provide a variety of packages to cater to their individual needs. These packages offer flexibility, taking into account factors such as the project's scope, the client's experience, and their specific requirements.

  • At RT Studio we are trained designers with experience in both the architecture and the construction industry. By merging these two areas of expertise at the beginning of the project, we are immediately able to discuss the effects of scheduling and pricing on a design. Contractors specialized in modern residential are brought on board early in the process to help assess the feasibility and begin working on an initial budget. Throughout the design process, we are constantly receiving feedback for more accurate and transparent cost information that is directly passed on to the client

  • When you choose RT STUDIO, you gain access to our extensive network of trusted professionals who excel in their respective fields. Whether you need a contractor, a structural engineer, a kitchen designer, a landscape architect, etc. we can put you in touch with the right professionals who share our commitment to excellence.

What kind of modern styles are our specialty?

When it comes to modern styles in residential design, it's important to note that not all are the same. From Minimalist and Scandinavian to Industrial and Mid-Century Modern, each style carries its distinct characteristics, influences, and principles that set it apart from the others. Whether you are drawn to the clean lines and simplicity of Minimalist design or the warm woods and functional approach of Scandinavian design, there is a modern style that can cater to your preferences and lifestyle. Understanding the nuances of different modern design styles can help you create a space that truly reflects your personality and aesthetic vision.

FAQs

These are some of the questions we get from clients that may apply to you as well.

  • Residential designers specialize in designing and arranging homes. They work closely with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and lifestyle to create functional and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. This role involves not only the design phase but also navigating building codes, zoning regulations, and overseeing the construction process to ensure the design is realized. Hiring an architect will not only result in a great design that meets your requirements and goals but also guarantees a return on investment that can double or even triple

  • Once we agree to collaborate on your project, we'll arrange a site survey, which involves taking measurements and capturing photos. After that, we'll dive into the Needs and Options Review to explore the potential of the site, available space, lot coverage, and more. This entire process typically lasts around a month.

  • We get it, everyone has their own timeline, and we respect that. However, we also believe in giving the design process its due time and not rushing it. Typically, it takes around two to three weeks, depending on how quickly we receive feedback from the client. Don’t forget that we are partners in your project.

  • You have the option to hire engineers directly, but I can also facilitate this for you. Hiring through us ensures that we select engineers already familiar with our workflow and standards, potentially streamlining the project's progress.

  • We are not builders, but as architects, we won't abandon you throughout the process. The level of our involvement during construction will vary depending on the design package you choose. Rest assured, we will connect you with skilled contractors we've collaborated with before, who specialize in contemporary residential architecture and are available for your project.

  • Depending on the project's scope, you might require a building permit or not. Nowadays, cities and counties typically mandate building permits for nearly all projects, especially if there are any modifications to the house's structure or significant changes to the project's interior layout or additional bathrooms or expanded kitchen. Once we've discussed the program of the project, we'll inform you about whether a building permit is necessary or not.
