CORE VALUES
ABOUT US:
ā
RBA Architects is the story of a how one person with a vision developed RBA into being the leading Residential Architect in Hampton Roads. Tom, our Founder had a vision that at age 35, he would start his design firm that would service the residential sector. He began with a few select clients, offering consistent high quality design services that continue to this day. During this time, Architects for the most part did not serve the residential sector. Designs were either purchased online or generated by drafts people. We knew that we could develop incredible designs that would greatly impact how people lived and yet be cost efficient. Our plan was to serve the Hampton Roads Community and develop relationships with select builders to show how good design can change the way we live. We built our client bases, one person at a time. Our integrity to be honest and forthright with our clients had not been seen prior. We did what we said we would and if any issues arose, we resolved them quickly.
