RGB Architects credits their ability to handle every aspect of an architecture project to their incredible team. To join the team, they look for certain attributes that separate the average architect from the exceptional. Some of the qualities that make a great architect include:
Creativity
A lot of people consider creativity when it comes to the design of a space, but there is a lot more to being an architect that calls for creativity. Consider the problems that come up in regard to things like building codes or project budgets. It takes a creative mind to map out potential solutions that will not impact the overall quality of the finished product.
Eye for Detail
Architecture is at its best when every step of the process is meticulously laid out. Every step impacts the next. An eye for detail understands the cost of construction, how to map out the proper sequence of the project and what remedies can make up for a hiccup along the way. When an architect is truly prepared, they can adapt for the unforeseen, which will inevitably show up during a project or two throughout a career.
Desire
RGB Architects understand that there is no success without a love for what you do. The team must be motivated and excited about each and every project. Enthusiasm is contagious and it is important for RGB Architects to add members to their team who are as passionate about their first project as they are about their 100th.
Collaborative Approach
It is vital that an architectural team is excited and willing to work together. While everyone may have a certain area that they are responsible for, the work that they do will impact every other facet of a project. Communication lines need to be open. When something goes wrong, time cannot be wasted pointing fingers. All attention must quickly move towards identifying the best possible solution. This is something that has been critical in the staying power of RGB Architects.
