Arrivals and appointments

March 2 2021 By Richard Naish

2021 has taken off with a hiss and a roar and, with several substantial projects on the drawing board, it’s safe to say it has been busy around here. In the first three months of the year, eight new staff members joined us. We’d like to extend a warm welcome to Robert Letherby (starting next week) and Teresa Munro, along with architectural graduates Maito Akiyama, Anita Chin, Janetha Rainbow, Casey Anderson and James Sievers (who also starts next week) as well as senior technician Roberto Jelash.

It is also with great pleasure that we announce Mitchell Round, who has been a part of the team at RTA Studio for the past seven years, has been appointed as a Senior Associate. Mitchell puts the emphasis on leadership and guidance in his new role. “It’s my job to execute exciting new designs from concept right through to the client moving in, making the process as smooth and enjoyable for everyone as possible,” he says.

Also joining the leadership line-up is David Wright who has been appointed an associate. David, who is based in our Hawke’s Bay office, will be instrumental in growing the presence of RTA Studio in the region to offer an increased level of service to an expanding list of clients. “I’m looking forward to working with the more experienced senior members of the team to shape our approach to key issues that face architects of our time,” he says.
