Raymond is a California licensed Architect with over 16 years of professional experience. Raymond's active role as Design Principal for RBDS involves overseeing all aspects of design, documentation and construction observation for a number of residential, commercial and healthcare projects in both the public and private sectors. Raymond believes design combines an individual understanding of each client’s needs with an absorption and comprehension of environmental and cultural context, leading to a holistic design solution. “Architecture today should give way to an expression that is both an open and responsive attitude toward culture and the natural environment."
