Rene Gonzalez Architects

Founded in 1997 in Miami, Rene Gonzalez Architects (RGA) believes that a building is inexorably linked to the cultural and natural environment beyond its physical footprint. The work intentionally blurs traditional lines and creates an active “design conversation” with a site’s ambient elements. Detail-oriented and contemporary, the firm specializes in the design of museum and gallery spaces, hospitality, commercial, retail,and residential projects. RGAis especially attuned to environmental issues that are affecting the world, andis receiving widespread attention for its efforts to develop resilient solutions to sea-level rise, revealing a commitment to embracing and celebrating the environment, andseizing the opportunity to enhance our future.This strategy has won RGA manyprestigious awards, including the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Miami’s 2012 H. Samuel Kruse Silver Medal for Design and, in 2011, the award for Firm of the Year.RGA has also won two national awards from the AIA and was the first Miami architect in 50 years to be honored twice by the organization for projects inthe city. RGA’s work has been published in more than 200 national and international publications including the 2018 monograph entitledNot Lost in Translation
