Richard Wittschiebe Hand (RWH) has been providing planning, architectural and interior design services in the southeast region since 1973. Our work is in the public, private and service oriented sectors. Our firm philosophy is to produce a sustainable design of integrity, appropriate to the budget and location, but also designed to last, standing the test of time. We focus on design simplicity, innovation, and quality to instill a sense of timelessness.
Great design is a result of the collaborative effort between the client, the users, the consultants and the architect. To that end, we diligently listen and understand our clients resulting in creative designs that are a reflection of their needs and goals. Strong design principles continually guide the process.
RWH offers the benefits of personal service by each of the partners who individually bring a comprehensive depth of professional and business experience to the firm. The practice is a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE).
