We design buildings that are…
Beautiful — Authentic
Timeless — Inspiring

Meet the Architect
Our founder and principal Brandon Ro, AIA, NCARB, ICAA is an award-winning architect, leader, and educator with over 20 years of AEC industry experience.
At TETRAD Architecture & Planning, PLLC we believe in transforming your dreams into reality. We take our clients on a creative journey as we translate their ideas to sketches. We then work with contractors to morph architectural drawings into the physical world of bricks and mortar. As suggested in our name “TETRAD,” a group of four key values guide our design efforts as a full-service architecture and planning firm. We strive for buildings that are beautiful, authentic, timeless, and inspiring.

OUR APPROACH
We design with BEAUTY by using time-tested principles, proportions, and patterns.
We strive to build TIMELESS structures that are both durable and enduring.
We preserve the AUTHENTICITY of a place and its culture by studying historical precedents.
We aim for creating architectural experiences that INSPIRE the human spirit.
