Richard Pedranti Architect

Richard Pedranti Architect (RPA) is a full-service architecture firm based in Milford, Pennsylvania. Since 1998, we have been creating environments that combine our clients' unique values with the extraordinary natural landscape of our region. Our focus is on Passive House and high-performance buildings, using modern building science to produce beautiful, healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient structures.

Our Philosophy

At RPA, we believe that architecture is about people and their connection to their place. Our projects begin with a thorough understanding of the site and its conditions. By identifying site-specific factors such as solar orientation, views, and landscape characteristics, we can discover the "essential nature" of the place. This approach ensures that each project achieves a unique unity of climate and form.

Sustainability

We are committed to being at the forefront of sustainable building practices. Our expertise in Passive House design, engineering, and construction offers today's most advanced technological approach to creating responsible, comfortable, and healthy buildings. By incorporating building energy performance standards, we develop timeless architecture that is cost-effective, light on resource consumption, and beneficial to the environment.
