Architecture
ARCHITECTURE
A. B. RUCH. Architects believes that architectural design must provide an overall aesthetic quality to the man-made environment while meeting our client's functional, economic, and scheduling needs.
Every project presents a series of design choices. In some cases the building must incorporate historic materials and details. In others it must incorporate amenities and features to provide the competitive edge. In every case the architecture must bring a special sensitivity to high quality design for work, study, or leisure.
Understanding the design issues is paramount for achieving a successful architectural solution. Creativity in architectural design is not merely cosmetic in nature. It is more than the decoration and fashion of buildings.
A. B. RUCH Architects believes creativity involves functional operation as the basis of good design. Creativity involves a rational examination of the problem-- in a manner that stresses its uniqueness as well as its limitations. The direct result is a design solution that is responsive to the clients' needs and a completed facility whose form matches its purpose.
Our Approach
OUR APPROACH
A. B. RUCH Architects' approach to each project is based on an understanding that each owner's situation is unique and must be approached without preconception. Each design solution must be a creative response to the particular clients needs
A. B. RUCH Architects promotes an approach that establishes viable planning direction through a process of information collection, its assimilation and analysis, and testing of concepts.
The fact-finding process allows us to turn the experience gained on previous projects - regardless of building type - toward the special needs of each new project
Our role is that of catalyst, distilling information into essential and useful material. We are there to evaluate the gains and risks, to identify decisions that must be made prior to design. However, it is the owner who must use that data to make key decisions. The owner's involvement in this planning process is an essential part of the entire project.
A. B. RUCH Architects has adopted an on-going philosophy of quality management to assure both design and technical excellence on each project we undertake.
We are pragmatic, ensuring that designs are translated into reality in a timely and cost effective manner.
Project Management
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Prudent property owners want value for their money, but many don't have the experience- or others the time to judge the most appropriate approach to a project's development.
A. B. RUCH Architects believes it is possible to guarantee an even exchange without the owner's extensive experience or disruptive personal involvement. By our entering the project before design begins, we can provide insight during early policy-making activities. We keep track of the critical aspects at each step of the development process to make certain, work is done on time and within budget.
A. B. RUCH Architects contours the makeup of each project team to address the particular requirements of each project. The first step in each project is to develop a schedule that identifies the relationships between the project team and the owner.
A. B. RUCH Architects places emphasis on key issues - scope, budget, and time - early in the project, when changes are easier and less expensive to make. With this approach, we are able to develop as much or as little detail as the project demands. The traditional approach to project management focuses strictly on design and form. Our approach allows us to consider each critical aspect of the project during each step.
Planning
PLANNING
It has been commonly recognized that anticipating the changing needs of facilities presents one of the greatest challenges to building owners. Whether industry or service based, public or private, and whether changes are due to consolidation or expansion, individuals responsible for controlling facility operations have sought more expedient techniques for planning for the future.
Owners undertake planning to allocate their resources in a way that best assures that their overall goals will be met. A. B. RUCH Architects is committed to comprehensive planning as a forerunner of the architectural process. This is accomplished through a process that defines the limits of the project before developing specific solutions. Our planning services include:
Strategic Planning
Space Needs Planning
Functional Analysis
Facility/Site Master Planning
Site Analysis
Architectural Programming
Environmental Impact Analysis
Facility Renovation
FACILITY RENOVATION
The renovation of buildings has become a common practice today. The protracted use of large building stock in viable locations in both business districts and country sides has become economically essential and culturally desirable. The process of doing this well, while gaining functionally and financially, is the goal of A. B. RUCH Architects.
Since every renovation project is unique, the process of carrying it out is customized to its special conditions; yet each involves an approach having very similar aspects. Budget constrains, the need to meet building code requirements, and comfort all influence each renovation project.
A. B. RUCH Architects follows a prescribed approach in assessing the damage caused by the elements, time, and man. In offering corrective action, our approach recognizes the importance of distinguishing symptoms and causes. Our research background brings to each project our ability to determine which components need modification and which can be used intact.
Residential Development
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
We all want to be part of something unique----- to live and work in a special place.
In a scramble to handle demand for housing, residential planning has frequently been done by the numbers, settling for quantitative expansion rather than qualitative growth. The result has been that one spot looks much like another. Arriving is the equivalent to never having left. There may be some who believe such likeness to be a worthwhile goal. A. B. RUCH Architects does not.
We believe residential planning must establish both image and physical presence to create uniqueness in a community---not just another by-the-numbers housing project. The only numbers we believe should be observed are those on the price tag.
Accordingly, we sculpt spaces and amenities into such communities, places in which common and private areas are clearly defined yet intricately woven.
