Most recently, the Arrowtown House was shortlisted for the 2019 World Architecture Festival.

We believe truly unique and innovative design solutions result from an ability to ‘think outside the square’ and to respond directly to the aims and objectives of the client. Our building solutions evolve from a collaboration between client, Architect and the site. Therefore, RTA Studio buildings do not form part of any particular ‘style’. Rather they are an architectural solution that is a direct manifestation of the unique characteristics of that project and context.

While a building must solve all of the functional requirements of the brief, it must also seek to inspire the user or resident and leave the visitor with a sense of enrichment from the experience.
