COMMUNITY
We at ORW Architecture share your love of the Rogue Valley and the broader region. Like you, we are local parents, business people, volunteers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Our kids go to school, our friends go to work, and our first responders deploy in the buildings we design. Every one of us has a uniquely personal stake in designing facilities that enhance the communities we share.
As southern Oregon's largest architectural firm, our team works on public and private projects that directly impact our region’s success. We are available, approachable, and tremendously invested in each client’s success within the context of Southern Oregon’s past, present, and future. Our long-term relationships with repeat clients speak to the value of maintaining connections not just during the design and construction phases but throughout each building’s lifespan.
MASTERY
We excel at challenging design work. For over 50 years, we have prioritized having the right people on our team. By investing in continuous training, we bring the best building solutions forward. Our Principals set the tone for our team to be great listeners and collaborators. Our team’s mastery of all aspects of architecture combines with exceptional service to understand and achieve clients’ goals while building our community’s future.
As designers, we know that the end goal is to create built spaces that function well for the people who use them. We go beyond the expected in programming, planning, and design to develop a keen understanding of client and stakeholder needs. Our knowledge of construction materials and technology helps clients understand the long-term ramifications of decisions. Ultimately, what we deliver is an experience for the people who learn, work, and recreate, inside and outside of the buildings we design.
COLLABORATION
We take seriously our responsibility to create meaningful places for people - buildings that function well and contribute to the entire community. However, the process of working with our clients isn’t always so serious because our style is collaborative, creative, and fun. From early planning through the details of construction, our attitude is positive, innovative, and consistent with our goal to build not just facilities, but stronger civic connections.
Every building we work on deepens our long-term commitment to our shared community. Unlike firms from out of the area, we promise to be right here, accessible, and ready to help over the long term. The world is changing quickly. For Southern Oregon and the Rogue Valley, we believe the path forward will be increased adaptability and resilience in the face of unknowns. ORW will continue to be local, agile, responsive, and always in service to our community’s ongoing success.
