CULTURE

At RLF, we believe that our character is as important as our expertise. Clients depend on us to do what we say we’ll do, navigate through tough issues to find the best solutions, address mistakes honestly and stand behind our work. We do that and more, continually anticipating the future needs of our clients and looking for ways to advance their interests. RLF leaders routinely seek candid feedback internally and externally and are constantly working to make the company better.

RLF is an ideal place to begin your professional journey or to expand your horizons along the path of your career. We place a strong emphasis on mentoring junior staff members, helping them learn through engagement in every aspect of our business and offering guidance to help them navigate their careers. This commitment to our team members’ development includes a formalized mentorship program in our Architecture department. New staff members who are further along in their careers can benefit from the breadth of our integrated approach to design, which offers a wealth of opportunities to collaborate and learn from professionals in our other design disciplines while growing into new responsibilities and positions of leadership.

RLF’s vision is to create high-performance environments that inspire and nurture the human spirit. We believe that well-designed environments can transform culture and enrich lives. We share a passion to improve the places where we work, live, learn and heal. We work together to express our clients’ stories through exceptional places. RLF focuses on meaningful building types — places that serve our community and shape our culture. When we create spaces that inspire, we help the human spirit thrive. For us, that symmetry defines exceptional places.

RLF’s people-centered values extend beyond the doors of our office to our families and communities. Always a company with a philanthropic heart, RLF is involved in numerous community organizations and events, including the American Heart Association Greater Orlando Chapter and the American Cancer Society’s Cattle Baron’s Ball. In addition to corporate gifts to community organizations, team members volunteer hundreds of hours each year to support their favorite causes. The company’s yearly support of Second Harvest Food Bank is one of many such initiatives and ways of giving back.

Teamwork is emphasized across the board at RLF, and our integrated team of architects, engineers, planners and interior designers creates a rich learning environment that enhances all disciplines and ensures consistency within our designs.
