although we are primarily retail-oriented, through RDP's Residential and Hospitality Studio, we have the design expertise to identify opportunities and maximize them to enable a residence, entertainment/athletic/health club facility, restaurant, spa, or hotel to become a destination. we don't design ephemeral 'theatrical' spaces; we design spaces that convey character, whose designs endure. we have the capacity to: -thoroughly evaluate existing facilities -identify and understand targeted end-users of a space or facility that will determine how it is to be branded -create a unique environment that will enable a space to be a lasting experience for visiting or permanent occupants -create a space like no other, whose design success will be quantifiable, be it in terms of resale value, consumer loyalty, increase in membership, or occupancy

we understand that work is important. where you work can make all the difference in the world in terms of quality of life, and it can also define the difference between activity and productivity. leveraging our retail and hospitality experience, we have the design expertise to identify opportunities and maximize them to enable any office, any workspace, to become a dynamic place for collaboration and productivity. we design spaces that convey the brand identity of the organization of the occupants, and also reflect the culture of how those persons do business. we are extremely adept at making these spaces highly functional for occupants, considering amenities and everyday facilities that most firms only think about during punchlist time. we have the capacity to: -thoroughly evaluate existing facilities and proposed budget -identify and understand day-to-day functions of occupants and how they receive clients -create a unique environment that will convey the culture of that organization -create an office that fosters creativity, encourages efficiency and productivity, and can be place to spend extended time as needed, in order to be at a place of comfort, while getting the job done
