Ratliff Architecture + Urban Design, pl

Our primary focus is to create and develop specifically tailored design solutions that promote beauty, sustainability, utility, and value for each client. We believe in the honest use of materials, the creative use of details to connect each design to its context, and the corresponding manipulation of space and light to create an authentic and enduring architecture. Every project begins and ends with understanding what the client wants to achieve. Through a thorough interview process and open communication during each step of a project, we strive to create buildings and spaces that evoke the unique character of each client, program, and place. The extended impacts on our natural systems of the built environment are vast and long lasting. Therefore, we are committed to sustainability in every project, no matter the scope, and do not view green architecture or sustainability as an add-on, rather we see it as necessary. We are experienced in working with the guidelines of both LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and the Florida Green Building Coalition.
