From the 1950s forward, the fingerprint of our firm has dusted the history of Southern California and made a lasting imprint on the civic, social, educational and business centers across the Western United States.

Little could Herman Ruhnau have foreseen that his start-up firm in the sleepy town of Riverside, California would quietly grow into an architectural powerhouse with multiple offices and an ever expanding client base.

Little could its founder have guessed that the growth would be done with careful consideration for talent and time - unlike flash-in-the-pan pizzazz of so many professional service firms that grow too big too fast.

With careful tending of our firm’s organic growth, attention to continual learning in our field, and a watchful eye for responding to social and demographic trends, we intend to keep making history, not repeating it.
