Rene Gonzalez Architect creates buildings that actively engage in a ‘design conversation’ with their surroundings. Founded in 1997 in Miami, Florida, the award winning firm believes that a building is inexorably linked to the cultural and natural environment beyond its physical boundaries. The designs are influenced by external factors, both ethereal and earthly, including sky, water, vegetation and the bustle of human activity. Often in the work, there’s a deliberate ambiguity between the inside and the outside, bringing elements of each into the other. By intentionally blurring the lines between constructed and innate landscapes, RGA synthesizes elements, making it difficult to discern exactly where their work ends and the ambient surroundings begin. Detail-oriented and contemporary, RGA specializes in the design of museum and gallery spaces, exhibition design, hospitality, retail, and residential projects. The approach is always holistic, often engaging interiors, product design, and landscape with the architecture. The results have been consistently harmonious, visceral and dramatic. For Rene Gonzalez and his team, architecture is both a reflection and an extension of a specific location. RGA approaches each project with an individualized design methodology that requires the firm to listen – not only to their clients, but also to the voices of the elements around a particular site, creating in every project both a reflection and an extension of its environment.
