RDS Architects - Maine's Resilient Design Studio
Services
Commercial Work
RDS Architects has helped some of Portland's greatest restaurants open and expand, such as Izakaya Minato and Eventide.
Multi-family Housing is another passion of ours, as evidenced by our work with many private developers.
Office and lab fit-ups provide RDS the opportunity to collaborate with some of Maine's greatest businesses, designers, and constructors.
Feasibility Studies
We love zoning! And we love being involved early in a project -- provide potential investors with the knowledge they'll need to succeed in bringing their vision to life on a specific site.
With decades of experience both on, and in front of, Planning Boards, we understand the approvals process, including the importance of public engagement, and embrace the experience.
Residential Work
Designing a home that perfectly provides for its family is one of the most rewarding things we do, as architects. We design for the way our clients live, while providing an earth-friendly, resilient design solution that is respectful of its environment.

Carol is grateful that she lives and works in downtown Portland but she has also been enjoying the efficiency of virtual site meetings allowing her to work from Shetland for a couple months. She's very grateful for the professional relationships she's built in Maine over the last 25 years and for the growing professional relationships in the UK.

Adam works a hybrid schedule in the Old Port Studio half the week and from his home in Steep Falls , the other half. Always adventuresome, he enjoys traveling across the US with his with his wife and two young children in an RV to see solar eclipses, whenever possible. His attention to detail and overall calm being is a benefit for all who know and work with him.

Inis, Studio Cat
Inis (INN-ish) has always been in charge of the recycling basket, but thanks to COVID, his territory has expanded to other desktops in the studio, especially ones with papers that he can "file". He has disdain for the Nerf gun, but we do tend to like our soft seating intact and claw-free.
