American Architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s supposed arrogance was legendary; some say he was more interested in advancing his “art” than creating homes based on his client’s wishes.

Is that your general impression of Architects?

If so, we’re about to burst your bubble – at RTA, we design homes based on what you want, not what we want you to have. Of course we’re going to use all of our skills to give your project new and interesting ideas, unique character, loads of style, and value, but we never lose sight of the fact that this is your home, not ours.

So…what’s important to you on this project? Are you looking for creative design solutions? Is “curb appeal” your hot button? Is your heart set on a particular “Period” style?

Do you need something fast? Something affordable? Or are you willing to take some time to get the very best? Will you search for a quality contractor or settle for the “low bidder”? Or maybe you’re looking for the best overall value?

Is this a long-term project for you and your family or are you expecting to sell the house in a few years? Is a “low-maintenance” house important to you?

Is an energy-efficient design critical? Do you want your house to be as “green” or “sustainable” as possible? If so, how much effort will you invest to find appropriate products?

Technology plays an important role in new home projects today with media systems, security, and environmental management – how well will it be integrated into your home?
