Philosophy

Nothing is Accomplished by Itself

Our experience leading hundreds of projects has taught us that clear communication, teamwork and mutual trust form a strong foundation for success. CRA has operated like a family owned and operated business for more than 55 years and we treat our clients like we would want our family to be treated.

CRA believes that the practice of architecture is as much about the exchange of ideas as it is about the physical layout and construction of a building. True effectiveness is only possible with understanding and implementing our clients’ opinions and expertise. Projects are highly customized to our clients’ needs through the creative use of space, light, materials and distinctive designs. From period to contemporary design, CRA is well suited to meeting your needs with an end result that tells your story rather than the designer’s.

Our design philosophy:  To ensure that the project’s design enhances the strength and vibrancy of its surroundings and that a distinctive and attractive facility is provided by utilizing time tested materials and creative design ideas. Simply stated, we’ll deliver an inspiring design that is also fiscally responsible, technologically sound and functionally responsive to your needs. We are proud to note that many of our clients choose our company again and again to handle their design needs.
