Rimas Rudys, NCARB
I enjoy the practice of architecture because I enjoy understanding buildings better- from studying historical practices and materials to researching and integrating new building technologies and project delivery methods. Regardless of whether the project is a large commercial undertaking or a simple kitchen remodel, each project is an opportunity to learn something new about the world and help a client to realize their dreams for a space. I constantly seek to work on projects that will leverage my skills and experience, generate engaging and relevant design solutions, and allow me to better serve the community and make positive contributions to the built environment.
When I am not at the drafting table, I enjoy traveling, hiking, cooking and experiencing the world with my wife and two dogs, while attempting to capture great photographs along the way.
