rfa PROFILE
practice
 


ray fitz-gibbon architects was established in 1984. in the intervening years RFA has developed a considerable reputation for design excellence in a wide field of architecture from single residences, industrial, commercial, retail and interior design

in recent years RFA has excelled in medium density design. we look at each new project as an opportunity to expand and develop our design philosophy that focuses on the lifestyle requirements of the end users. this philosophy has paid dividends to developers as well as being appreciated by many clients.

design principles:

RFA understand that site yields make the difference between success and failure of a project. We always strive to achieve maximum yields weather it be the number and size of apartments in an apartment block or floor space in a commercial, retail or industrial development. RFA recognises however that yield alone is not the overriding factor in successful design.


RFA design spaces for people to live in, work in, shop in, learn and work in. We have experience in designing spaces that recognise the unique needs and aspirations of people and workplaces and have seen evidence that when these spaces are achieved, buildings are highly valued.

Building controls are an increasingly complex minefield. RFA has a long standing working relationship with an experienced team of consultants who are committed to achieving results. These consultants range from Structural Engineers experienced in the latest cost effective construction techniques to Town Planners with an intimate knowledge of Planing Regulations, Law and Planning Precedent to Landscape Architects who are familiar with the requirements of Local Councils and can create landscaping which enhances the amenity of the development.
