Richard is attuned to solving for complex system assemblies and material interfaces. He helps guide project
development while mentoring young designers throughout design phases.

Richard approaches projects with joy and celebrates the process while continuing
to push the envelope of built environments. Closely involved in design, coordination,
and construction, he appreciates all phases of the design process. Particularly, he’s
keen on creating thoughtful initial concepts and narratives that form the basis of a
design and seeks to sensitively respond to the opportunities and constraints of a
project, including the site, climate, context, scale, and the program.

Richard is well-traveled and having lived in Shanghai and Rome, he’s adept at
architectural perspectives beyond western traditions. He’s contributed to several
international Embassy projects, sophisticated and complex in their programmatic
requirements and formal expressions. He appreciates elegance, simplicity, and
fostering exciting and collaborative ways to boost creativity. His design sensibility
and vision seek to straddle the complex and simple, striking the right balance for
responsive and timeless architecture.
