FIRM OVERVIEW Established in 1980, the beliefs of Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. (RNT) are firmly rooted in creating meaningful and sustainable environments that elegantly meet or exceed our clients’ vision. With a team of 40 design professionals and support staff in our San Diego and Ventura offices (15 Licensed Architects, two Certified Interior Designers, a Certified Planner and 15 LEED Accredited Professionals) we provide a rational method of problem solving with artistic vision and grace. For 35 years our firm has earned a national reputation for providing our clients with buildings and environments that are functional and exhibit design excellence. This commitment has resulted in more than 100 regional, state and national design awards and in the publication of our projects in a monograph by L’Arca Edizioni and numerous design journals. RNT’s collaborative and interdisciplinary approach toward architectural design, programming, urban design, community planning, and industrial design creates meaningful environments that enrich daily life. We believe and practice in a “studio” environment, meaning that our multi-disciplinary staff members are able to share ideas and work collaboratively on various teams that include the client’s representatives. Our focus is to listen and understand our client’s needs, expectations and goals. RNT’s “intelligent and sustainable” designs have included several built Net Zero projects along with many more on the boards. Currently, we are at the forefront of LEED with many built examples of Platinum, Gold and Silver projects. We are very sensitive to the owner’s total cost of ownership when selecting building durable and efficient materials and building systems.
