Multifamily Architecture

Multifamily Design That Balances Experience and Economics.

Multifamily design is a balance of density, efficiency, resident experience and project economics. We work through those pieces together to create buildings that make sense on paper and work in the real world.

Designing Around the Development.

01

Site Utilization

Testing how much of the program the site can carry once access, setbacks and parking are resolved.

02

Unit Planning

Unit mix and plan efficiency studied against usable area and the project's targets.

03

Circulation

Corridors, cores and entries organized to reduce waste and simplify wayfinding.

04

Resident Experience

Arrival, light, outlook and shared space handled as design decisions, not leftovers.

05

Amenities

Amenities scaled to the project and its market rather than to a checklist.

06

Parking + Site Relationships

Parking, drives and open space coordinated with the building rather than after it.

07

Constructability

Structure, envelope and detailing considered for how they will actually be built.

08

Project Efficiency

Design decisions weighed against schedule, approvals and development objectives.

A Development-Minded Approach.

Developers are solving for more than a floor plan. Land cost, unit count, construction type, approvals and delivery all move together — and architecture is where those variables get reconciled.

RAD works through those trade-offs alongside the development team, anticipating problems early and keeping the project moving. The result is architecture that is clean and modern, and that supports the way the project has to perform.
