archiplex group provides professional, quality architecture, planning, and design services, combined with a commitment to service. The firm has specific technical expertise in many aspects of the design and building industry, including sustainable design, master planning, building remodels, facility expansions, ground-up new designs, and owner representation services. What sets this firm apart from the crowd is that it takes the time to actively listen to the needs and aspirations of each and every client. According to Ralph Stanislaw, principal, “We’re a young firm, but we’ve always had a focus on being green. From a personal standpoint, I have recycled from my home for over 20 years—my philosophy has been part of our firm philosophy. In the early nineties, in my home designs, I was using low-e glass, 2x6 exterior walls with blown-in insulation, and high-efficiency mechanical units.” The firm follows in his footsteps. In fact, the Archiplex recently purchased an older building and transformed it into its office building; to showcase their capabilities to their clients the firm completely gutted the building.
