BUILD Q1 2025 Robinette Architects Inc is a full-service architectural consultancy providing comprehensive architectural design services, and working with the best consultants, builders and suppliers to deliver the highest quality projects possible. We find out more from the firm’s Founder, Ron Robinette, in the wake of it receiving recognition in the Design & Build Awards 2025. A Man’s Home is his Sandcastle Based in Tucson, Arizona, Robinette Architects, Inc (Robinette Architects) is a boutique firm focused on producing unique and creative homes that are responsive to their owner’s lifestyle and respectful of the Sonoran Desert which encompasses the area. Ron Robinette, the company Founder and namesake, is a Tucson native with almost 40 years’ worth of experience and more than 350 successfully constructed projects in Southern Arizona. In 1984, he founded Robinette Architects with experts in all phases of design and construction, including interiors and landscape design. Today, the award-winning team specialises in custom homes and is a recognised leader in residential design. “Our firm’s vision has always been to maintain and build upon our reputation as the residential design experts of Southern Arizona,” Ron tells us further. “We aim to be constantly expanding our expertise in every aspect of the design and construction process, and to design sustainable projects that are sensitive to their setting and environment.” With an ethos based on trust and respect, Ron and the team listen, care and want their clients to ultimately be happy. With Ron’s extensive experience, and the knowledge of the team, Robinette Architects provides great value because it can handle difficult properties and find solutions. “Where another firm might encourage the client to seek another property, we pride ourselves on working with the client on the property they’ve selected,” elaborates Ron. “We specialise in customised residential architecture, and we listen to our clients’ needs.” Every member at Robinette Architects works as a team to serve its clients, search for professional growth and design unique homes which they are all proud of. Ron is continuously looking at new trends in design, not to change with new styles, but instead to see what influenced a trend and how the classic principles of good design are used to create something unique or new. Recently, the construction industry has gained some speed again and the firm has been fortunate to have more people reach out, with enthusiasm and excitement, about the company designing and building their dream home. The challenges that Ron and his team face are what every firm faces, he tells us: the ups and downs of the real estate market, the economy, and environmental circumstances. Robinette Architects’ specialisation has helped it to differentiate in the market and assist it in being efficient, helping to garner work even in the economic downturn and state of events. Sustainability is at the heart of everything that the firm does. The desert influences the design of all of its custom homes and Ron likes to think that he considers not only views and function, but how the homes are placed into their setting to minimise disturbance to the beautiful land that surrounds it. “Considerations when designing a custom home should be comprehensive,” he enthuses. “We want to integrate form, function, and lifestyle with the ‘lay of the land,’ as well as existing natural features and views to create exciting yet comfortable interior and exterior spaces that are all respectful and sustainable to the natural land.” In the Design & Build Awards 2025, Robinette Architects gained notable recognition for its outstanding design concepts, receiving the title of Best Bespoke Residential Architecture Firm 2025 – Arizona. Now, the firm’s future aspirations are to continue to respond to the challenges its clients present, as well as helping its younger staff to become masters of the profession which will ensure that it continues to grow, continues to learn from each project, and continues getting to know more clients and their goals for how they live. “We will embrace new technologies as more “tools” become available to use to design and communicate our visions to our clients.” Contact: Ron Robinette Company: Robinette Architects, Inc.
