Architecture and interior design at RAFI are the product of “Doing the Right Things – Right; the First Time!” As the recipient of more than 50 significant honors and awards, our principals and professional staff are committed to work that goes beyond simply addressing clients’ immediate needs. Our goal is to be considered one of our clients’ trusted advisors, helping them become more successful in their endeavors through our assistance.
Through the firm’s consulting, planning, and design efforts, clients are guided in preparing for tomorrow’s needs: growth that demands more efficient uses of existing facilities, facility expansion, and even facility consolidation when times are lean. We also assist our clients in improving their facilities to be more productive, resourceful, and energy efficient—helping reduce cleaning, maintenance, and monthly operating expenses. We have experience working with a variety of vendors, from colleges and universities to city community centers and libraries to the hospitality industry on the Las Vegas strip.
With more than 35 years of successfully serving clients across the western mountain region, there are few issues the firm has not had to address and resolve. RAFI prides itself on high-quality planning and designing of new facilities, upgrading existing buildings and infrastructure, and working with historic properties using the US Secretary of Interior’s Standards. With our many decades of experience, we have the knowledge to successfully support RAFI’s client service capabilities. Architectural assistance includes:
* Developing highly effective and efficient architectural programs to define client needs for achieving
short-term and long-term goals
