Benjamin Rishel
Architect licensed in North Carolina, Washington, Oregon, and Iowa
Architect with 11 years of diverse experience spanning civic, residential, and commercial projects, driven by a passion for housing innovation and sustainable design. I bring a strong track record of leading multidisciplinary teams, managing complex permitting processes, and delivering efficient, buildable solutions that balance beauty with practicality.
As a former partner at a growing design firm and project architect for public projects exceeding $20M, I’ve honed expertise in project delivery—from schematic design through construction documentation—while maintaining client trust and design integrity. My recent work includes residential renovations, city partnerships for transitional housing, and design collaborations that address community needs through adaptable, human-centered architecture.
