HISTORY

Since 1950, Ruhnau Clarke has served as a multi-disciplinary architecture, planning, and interiors firm to a wide array of public and private sector clients. With an unparalleled ethos of design excellence and client service, we use an integrated approach that builds upon the collective wisdom of each project team member from the very beginning of the design process.

CULTURE

As architects, mentors, environmental stewards and community advocates, Ruhnau Clarke works to foster the education of the next generation of architects through a culture of design excellence, mentorship, professional development and community involvement. We are, at our core, about people—people who are design artists doing life together—in the office, in their community, and beyond the firm. This perspective drives a vibrant energy and lively open studio environment that guides the firm’s culture, drawing on each person’s unique passion and talent, to develop enriching designs.

DIVERSITY

Racial and ethnic diversity matters to us. We are proud of our entire team of diverse individuals who come from dozens of countries around the world. We celebrate the different cultures through "Around The World Luncheons" where we learn about cultures, food, and ideas from all of the different countries of origin as a way to learn and celebrate this diverse group of people.

Our mural is composed of various portraits to celebrate our multi-cultural society of all people, colors, identities, beliefs, and groups. Woven together by a single contour line, it is also to remind the people that we can always stand together in unison as we remain interconnected to each other through our differences.
