Founded in 1997 in Miami, Florida, Rene Gonzalez Architects (RGA) believes that a building is inexorably linked to the cultural and natural environments that extend well beyond its physical footprint. Tactile, experiential, and holistic, the work demonstrates a belief in the inseparable connection between nature and architecture and intentionally blurs traditional lines to create active design conversations with a site’s ambient elements. RGA’s work is detail-oriented and contemporary, and illustrates Gonzalez’s ability to distill the essence of place in both his home state of Florida and in the global landscape of contemporary architecture. The award-winning firm specializes in the design of museum and gallery spaces, hospitality, commercial, retail and residential projects.

The approach is always holistic, often engaging interiors, product design, and landscape design with the architecture. The results have been consistently harmonious, visceral and dramatic. RGA strives to shift the perception of space and design, and to create architecture that evokes powerful emotions.
