"A national practice notable for the range and poetic pragmatism of its work."

– Noted Architecture critic David Dillon, in Architectural Record

“Place. Purpose. Poetics.”

It’s how we describe what inspires Rand Elliott Architects’ work.  

Ideas are drawn from all aspects of the project’s Place – from its history and surroundings to weather conditions, especially wind and sun exposure.

Purpose is fundamental to function, from providing shelter and energy efficiency to telling our client’s story.

Poetics spring from a strong concept and rigorous details that craftsmanship brings to life.

Together, they’re guideposts for inventive problem-solving—solutions that heighten impact, yet cost no more to build.  We think it accounts for our record of serving clients well with work that reliably earns recognition.
