I was pleasantly surprised to find that Richard/RDA's fees were not only competitive for an Architect in Maryland, but also incredibly reasonable given the quality of work they deliver. It's evident that they prioritize providing value to their clients while maintaining a high standard of architectural excellence.
Speaking of excellence, Richard's expertise truly sets him apart. His deep understanding of architectural principles, design trends, and construction techniques is evident in every aspect the project. It's incredible how he takes a vision and turns it into a functional and aesthetically pleasing reality, showcasing his craftmanship.
If you're looking for an amazing architect who can create you a breathtaking contemporary home (or commercial building), call Richard! You will not regret it.

Richard has been an incredible help to us in redesigning a home we purchased for retirement. His attention to both our requests and seeing what we don't see, as well as being attuned to earth-friendly approaches and our budgetary constraints have made this process a very positive one. He was able to take a long list of desires and translate that list into a lovely renovation and addition, and pointed out cost-saving steps and alternatives along the way. He’s also made it possible to live in the existing structure while most of the work is being done. He has been extremely responsive and quick, yet thorough, with the design process. We couldn’t be happier!

I've worked with Rick on a wide variety of project types, sizes and complexities for over 20 years. He is a very talented designer who finds creative solutions to the most complex problems while always puts his client first.

Rick Donnally has been by our side every step of the way in our efforts to build an entirely new, custom-designed, and eco-friendly facility for our business. We are wildlife experts - not construction experts - and Rick has consistently gone above and beyond to guide us, to provide thoughtful and practical solutions when we've faced challenges, and he brought aboard trusted partners via his extensive network of skilled professionals, as needed. His dedication to his work and to us as clients has been incredibly impressive. Thank you, Rick!

Richard stepped up to save a failing project when the original architect stopped returning calls and emails. He has since turned the project around, provided excellent advice and even found ways to cut costs. He is honest, straightforward and shares our sense of urgency to get this done. I wish we had started the project with Richard but I am glad he is on our team now.

Because of the time pressure and so many other projects to attend to, I reached out Rick to help us quickly produce 2 different versions of concept design for our feasibility study for redevelopment of 3 downtown parcels for the future headquarters for one of the City's largest department. Couldn't possibily have gotten it done so quickly and with such gorgeous renderings with anyone else.

Rick has a great design aesthetic and he showed it the development of our house design. He put together a complete team of sub-consultants, which resulted in a very comprehensive set of permit drawings. He responded well to our requests and changes, while staying within a fair design fee budget.

Great customer service and worked closely with me for all the design ideas. Happy with the final draft and would use again for future projects.
