   Robert Maschke Architects approaches each endeavor with a highly refined design sensibility while advocating for a heightened public awareness of Architecture. The recipient of many awards, including national honors from the American Institute of Architects and the AIA Ohio Gold Medal Firm Award, RMA seeks to create an Architecture of complex spatial effects with modest means. What distinguishes the studio is its ability to turn ordinary projects into exceptional architecture. Robert Maschke Architects views project constraints as opportunities for design. Consequently, different versions of “economy” are conceptualized and implemented in RMA\'s work. Gestures, materials, and atmospheres are investigated for essential qualities; techniques are developed and technologies are deployed, resulting in experimental Architecture honed specifically for each project. Robert Maschke Architects is committed to advancing the practice of Architecture throughout Ohio and beyond.
