Our primary focus is to create and develop specifically tailored design solutions that promote beauty, sustainability, utility, and value for each client. We believe in the honest use of materials, the creative use of details to connect each design to its context, and the corresponding manipulation of space and light to create an authentic and enduring architecture.
Every project begins and ends with understanding what the client wants to achieve. Through a thorough interview process and open communication during each step of a project, we strive to create buildings and spaces that evoke the unique character of each client, program, and place.
The extended impacts on our natural systems of the built environment are vast and long lasting. Therefore, we are committed to sustainability in every project, no matter the scope, and do not view green architecture or sustainability as an add-on, rather we see it as necessary. We are experienced in working with the guidelines of both LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and the Florida Green Building Coalition.

We used Ratliff Architecture to redesign our front porch, design a driveway, pool, and landscaping. We told Ian what styles we liked and what we were looking to do with the property. He really listened to what we liked and disliked and with his experience and knowledge took all of our ideas and went above and beyond our expectations.Read More

Recently worked with Ian on the design of our new home in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
He was very knowledgeable about all the codes that needed to be met and was able to put on paper what we had envisioned.
The final result takes peoples breath away.
Thank you Ian.Read More

We had a wonderful experience with Ratliff Architecture. We gave him all of our ideas and challenges and he just solved them all with beautiful solutions. We couldn't be happier with our back patio. He added another thousand square feet to our house with his brilliant designs.Read More
