​About Us

Rafael Santa Ana Architecture Workshop practices building technologies that adapt to the specific requirements of each program while fabricating expressive contemporary interventions that contribute to the wider community in a thoughtful and meaningful manner.

The workshop believes that all good design is inherently sustainable and aims to guide the client toward incorporating environmental and social stewardship elements into each project. Our core values centre on anticipating the evolution of need and use in each intervention, thus future-proofing and ensuring maximum sustainability through adaptation.

Innovation is key, and we incorporate new systems and technologies into our design where appropriate, all the while keeping re-use of materials a priority. Sense of place and people is equally central to our design process, and we are sensitive to opportunities to reflect their history wherever possible.
