The studio
Rob Paulus Architects Ltd. is a firm dedicated to creating unique architecture with a functional resolve. Established in October of 1995, our practice combines artistic and practical experience to form a solid foundation for both client and consultant.
We aspire to create enlightening environments of the highest aesthetic quality that celebrate and work with nature. With a keen interest in durable materials made with smartly crafted details, our designs seek to be “in tune with earth and sky”.
Numerous awards and exhibitions lend to the firm’s credit, as we approach each project with an inventive style, and keep a clear focus on build-able solutions that involve sustainable principles. We believe that any project should combine responsivity to site and climate (locally and globally) with high aesthetic quality. For this reason, Rob Paulus Architects Ltd. is a member of the US Green Building Council and its staff is LEED accredited.
