Better Lives, by Design

RADA Architects diverse projects have a broad impact, with positive change for urban communities. Their empowerment is at the center of RADA’s work, with socially responsible projects for rational, people-oriented designs.

The business of architecture can seem like an endless race.

The business of architecture can seem like an endless race. We compete for projects, ideas, and attention, while turning visions into reality. We lead and follow our clients forcefully and gently, creatively and practically. Architecture can be a life lived on the edge. We succeed and stay in the race because we are leaders.  Our mission to change people’s lives for the better is injected into our blood. That spark formed in my blood the moment I realized what my architect father did. I followed.

Open, light-filled spaces and references to nature establish an aspirational tone in RADA’s workplace environment designs. Creating neighborhoods of spaces with clear circulation and efficiencies form the foundation of their planning. Pride and identity that draw people to collaborate and create are hallmarks of RADA work. The firm’s work includes a series of mid-century high-rise rejuvenation projects that are catalysts for vitality and enhanced community use.

Health/Science

Advances in the medical field have led to increasing demand for both patient- and work-friendly environments. Rising costs of medical care and research require paramount attention to efficiency of planning with easy and sustainable operational solutions. All of these are a hallmark of RADA’s work in the field, ranging from designs for science labs to diagnostic- and technology-intensive areas in the hospital. RADA’s planning skills and sensitivity to enriching communities extends to masterplanning medical and research areas in the city of Chicago, particularly the integration and vital connections in the Illinois Medical District.
