LETTER OF INTRODUCTION

As the world of architecture and construction becomes increasingly complex, we see the need for a team focused on an integrated project delivery, leading the process from initial concept to design and construction, right through move-in and start up. Our diverse team is set up to bring efďŹ cient, goal driven processes and high quality outcomes to private owners as well as to the real estate industry as a whole. Architecture is much more than making a good looking building. Architecture impacts the well being of the general public and the natural environment, and in that, architects are responsible for working towards making the best buildings possible. At Riley Architects we engage with urban design, development ďŹ nancing, policy and politics, the poetics of space, the resourcefulness and resiliency of materials and systems, and the person to person interactions that make both the process and the outcome a success. We are always looking to grow our team with partners who share our ideals and ambitions and hope that in these partnerships we can make great places for people.

Sincerely,

Noah Riley, AIA, CMAA CEO, Design Principal

Design is valuable through out the life-cycle of a project. At Riley Architects, the goal of design is to develop solutions at every stage of a project that are simple in appearance and will be reﬁned in their articulation and execution. Use of natural materials, detailed craftsmanship, environmental well-being, high quality and durability, and a forward looking timelessness embody the aspirations of Riley Architects design.

With design and service always a top priority, Riley Architects works to set up and execute projects in a manner that will create opportunities for invention and discovery while addressing the programmatic, schedule, and budget constraints that define almost all projects. Collaborative relationships and reciprocal partnerships are critical to all aspects of the business and in particular to the delivery of a high quality product. CORPORATE CULTURE Riley Architects subscribes to the triple bottom line approach to business, believing that attention and concern for people, planet, and profits is the cornerstone of a responsible and sustainable business culture. Providing a positive environment for the personal growth of employees is a focus of Riley Architects corporate culture. Building on that culture Riley Architects looks to protect and support the wellbeing of broader society and the natural environment in all aspects of its operations. Building a profitable company on these principals is the driving goal of the Riley Architects team.
