AR/RA Vision and Mission
AR/RA Vision and Mission
"A total built environment that speaks through time."
Through time, AR/RA's objective has become to create a space in connection with building design for human habitation that adapts to site surroundings, considers environmental factors, innovates design, and applies the principles of architecture -Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas.
Right before COVID-19 hit, I was genuinely excited to start my career as a registered and licensed architect (RLA) and to establish a platform that encapsulates my services as an architect.
I have my license, but lockdown couldn't get me anywhere and anything to have my first ultimate project. Somehow, the excitement went away.

Simple beginning amidst the pandemic lockdown
Simple beginning amidst the pandemic lockdown
My first project was our home kitchen, which could have been more organized and sanitary. The dripping water from the wash section has rotten the lower cabinet doors, creating an unwanted view of its inside. Not to mention, stains on the wall and ceiling of our kitchen area imply it was not well-ventilated.

At first, my parents did not agree, but I firmly believed it would be a game-changer, so it happened. From an 11sqm space, our kitchen becomes 17sqm wide and open.
