The RKA team hails from all regions of the U.S. - from North Carolina to California and Indiana to Hawaii. Our diverse backgrounds, interests, and expertise coalesce in our El Segundo office to create a unique environment where our ideas flow freely, we share our individual talents, and we believe that our team is more powerful when we work together.
When we are not designing artful, modern buildings and beautiful interiors, most of us enjoy surfing and playing volleyball at the beach or experiencing L.A.'s many fabulous museums, architectural monuments, and restaurants.

We see opportunities beyond property lines and zoning, always considering the characteristics that make each project unique. We understand that seating capacity or bed count matters, but not at the expense of an experience.
Rockefeller Kempel was our architect of record on the renovation of the Hotel Figueroa, without whom we would not have won the many awards that have come our way in the last 12 months. As one of the owners of the Hotel Figueroa and as someone who worked with RKA on a daily basis for over 2 years, I can recommend them without reservation.
Third time's a charm for our Warner Music Group project and the year of 2020! The awards were presented in a virtual awards presentation to top innovators in design, planning and development. Selected by a panel of top industry experts who reviewed nearly 600 entries, these winners showcase the most exciting trends in design, planning and building.

Rocky is a great architect and project manager. He and his former partner designed and oversaw the construction of our home in the Brentwood area of LA. Without Rocky's unending dedication, perseverance and knowledge of construction techniques the original general contractor might still be submitting change order requests 20+ years after the project was completed (by a far more capable contractor). When it was finished we had an award winning home that met all of our requirements and dreams; a home we absolutely loved. Thanks Rocky!
