Benjamin Rishel, RA, Assoc. AIA

Versatile. Passionate. Community-Focused

Ben has over 10 years of experience and is committed to advancing humanity through architecture. He sees his role as a designer as a form of public service, aiming to create healthy and sustainable environments for the communities he serves. Ben recognizes the impact of sustainability on the environment, individuals, and the economy, and seeks to create spaces that promote social justice. He believes that the built environment can play a crucial role in providing social justice to the community, and is motivated to reform the criminal justice system and the care of vulnerable populations.

Ben aims to promote and cultivate collaboration as a way of life. As an architect, he strives for a more collaborative design process where everyone involved in the construction of the built environment works together to create a more sustainable and inspiring way of life. This approach allows Ben to build meaningful relationships with various project partners, including owners, community members, stakeholders, and architecture and engineering consultants.

“My approach to design is to ensure that clients feel listened to, especially if they haven’t felt heard in the past.”
