The primary focus of our firm is to offer superior architectural services and design excellence to the client while providing full support to the contractor throughout the entire construction process. RWA is able to provide these services on both a local and national scale with an experienced and qualified staff of architects and designers that support the two principal partners of our firm. At RWA we make it our mission to practice both responsiveness and responsibility to our Clients, to possess a keen interest in design excellence and technical competency and to maintain a high level of cooperation, collaboration and sheer enjoyment in the architectural process. However, the hallmark of RWA's work is integrity. Professional integrity means knowing the difference between impractical dreaming and creative solution seeking. It also includes knowing what the balance is between borrowing from tradition and inventing new solutions to any challenges. And finally, it is simply our team being available, skilled and committed. In order to maintain the high level of satisfaction that we enjoy with our clients, our design process begins and ends with the focus clearly on them and their expectations. This is accomplished first, by listening and learning all we can about their needs, dreams and preferences at the beginning of the project. Next, by being attentive to their programmatic, aesthetic, budgetary and technical constraints and requirements throughout the project. And finally, by keeping open and honest communication to the completion of the project, making sure the priority is always client satisfaction. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Custom Homes - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Bathroom Design - Green Building - Space Planning - Universal Design - Historic Building Conservation - bidding and negotiation representation - construction administration - full scope of architectural services ### Areas Served - Cincinnati - The Village of Indian Hill - Indiana - Kentucky - Michigan ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | RWA Architects | | Address | 2771 Observatory Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio 45208, United States | | Phone | (513) 321-9506 | | Website | http://www.rwaarchitects.com | | Followers on Houzz | 757 | **Social profiles:** - Blog — www.rwaarchitects.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [RWA Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/rwa-architects-pfvwus-pf~562106255) - **Website:** http://www.rwaarchitects.com - **Phone:** (513) 321-9506 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 9 awards (2013–2021), for Design. **Affiliations** - [AIA Custom Residential Architects Network](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/aia-custom-residential-architects-network-pfvwus-pf~629398549) - [The American Institute of Architects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/the-american-institute-of-architects-pfvwus-pf~1350720471) - [NCARB](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/ncarb-pfvwus-pf~1477640315) - [U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/schools-and-organizations/u-s-green-building-council-usgbc-pfvwus-pf~1797160658) ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 2 reviews** ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — lisakwilliams3730, Aug. 2015** > RWA provides outstanding architectural services.

Do you have any info on where to find them?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looking for the details on the wall sconces and where to find them or something similar. Haven't had much luck! A: Sorry but those fixtures were selected by others and we do not have a record of them. **Q: what are the white ends of the porch roof exposed beams called** *(in Photo Questions)* Design features A: If you are talking about the three piece members projecting from the stone holding up the trellis beams they are called brackets. **Q: I** *(in Photo Questions)* I would like to use the tile in my shower. Would that work? A: Sorry but that project is over ten years old and we do not have those records anymore. They were from a fairly accessible source as I recall and I am sure if you took this photo in to any well stocked tile store they could probably identify these or something equal. **Q: what is the name of water mark tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* Water mark color and name A: We don't have a record of that and the project is over fifteen years ago. Thanks for asking. **Q: who made the trellis above the windows?** *(in Photo Questions)* I would like to know who or what brand of the trellis above the windows and their measurements. A: Thanks for asking. It was designed by our office and built by the general contractor. This is not a kit. Thanks for asking. **Q: I love the light fixtures. who are they made by or the name of them?** *(in Photo Questions)* Who makes the light fixtures? A: Sorry but this project is 14 years old and we do not have our records for that anymore. Thanks for asking. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-07.*
