RAD is an architecture and design practice founded on authorship, systems thinking, and the belief that design is a way of understanding the world. The studio is based in Minnesota and works on modern residential architecture nationwide.
Our work moves across architecture, art, objects, and emerging technologies, not as separate disciplines but as parts of a single continuous inquiry into form, space, material, and human experience. Each project is approached as a research problem. Each drawing is a record of a system in motion. Each built work is a physical expression of an idea tested through time.
We value clarity over trend, intelligence over style, and depth over speed. We are interested in how things behave, how they are made, and why they matter. Our work is shaped by intention, restraint, and respect for craft, allowing material, structure, light, and proportion to carry meaning.
RAD exists to create meaningful, enduring work that reflects both the present moment and the long arc of design culture. Our work is guided by coherence, rigor, and authorship across everything we make, from the first sketch to the finished work.
