Rickman Architecture & Design, RAD

Every project is more than just a building. It’s the moments shared within its walls, the people it brings together, and the memories made along the way.

As architects, we approach every project with that understanding, considering every detail and design decision with the same care we would if we were the ones using the space ourselves.

Great design is more than what you see. It’s about how a space feels, how it serves its people, and the lasting impact it leaves behind.

We don’t just design buildings. We design the places where life happens.

The process is progressing on our Weill Center project. Not every stage is picture perfect, especially when working through the complexities of an adaptive reuse project within a historic building. But it’s these behind the scenes stages that ultimately shape the finished product.

Yesterday, we celebrated an amazing milestone for Revive Dental. We partnered with Revive Dental back in 2020 to help produce a concept for fundraising efforts for their expansion needs. Five years later, we have broken ground on a clinic that will aid in making a bigger and positive impact for those in need of dental care in Chattanooga!

Revive Dental is a non-profit faith based dental clinic who has served more than 15,000 patients who are in need of low-cost dental care and has donated more than 4 million dollars in services. Check out their mission below! Revivedental.org

This past weekend an adaptive re-use project we’ve worked on had its grand opening. The is an early 1900’s clothing mill that has been converted to an open market with various vendors, a coffee shop, and outdoor amenities. We are so excited to see the progress made in such an iconic building and that it is establishing a central spot for small businesses to thrive in Bremen, Ga. Be sure to go check it out!

Did you know? Here at RAD we don’t specialize in one project typology. We have a diverse knowledge of project types..including residential! Here is one of our residential projects located in Carrollton, Ga called Kayak Cove.

Kayak Cove is a cottage community located on Lake Carroll in Carrollton, Georgia. The community features nine 900 square foot, two bedroom / two bath units. The units are composed of two design styles. A coastal model and a modern model. Designed to offer the balanced blend of modern amenities and rustic charm.

A renovation is about bridging the gap between a building’s history and its future. We focused on how to modernize Chapelhill Church Dunwoody, by balancing aesthetics, functional needs, and the client’s core values. See our full process from the original state, to design process, through completion.
