History and Culture of Relativity Architects
Relativity Architects (RA) is a Los Angeles based architectural studio founded in 2013 by Tima Bell and Scott Sullivan. They pursue projects that demand innovative and progressive answers. Whether in a piece of furniture or an urban master plan, their ambitions are to materialize inventive solutions into influential, evocative, and functional design projects. RA has produced a body of work that has fused the physical built landscape and the cultural art world in unparalleled methods.
Relativity Architects is an office of distinct, diverse and creative professionals, celebrated through holistic collaboration. They pride ourselves in being resourceful, efficient, and full-service. Their teams are fully engaged in the project dialogue and they strive to provide hands-on mentorship, curating a studio of well-rounded architects. Their leadership and staffing model are based upon an immersive pedagogy. Not only does this approach produce more informed and creative architecture, but it sets the stage for a practice of ideas and not of egos. It is, also, inherently more fun.

BIM TECHNOLOGY
In their studio, they continually strive to advance and improve their practice with current and efficient technologies. Though their love of pen and paper runs deep, they translate their creative methodology into soundly-designed and intimately-collaborated building plans, developed through 3D BIM software and uniquely developed processes that allow them to resolve architecture, engineering and construction detailing, all before breaking ground.
SUSTAINABILITY
Without a doubt, the design of our cities and the construction of our buildings is a major factor in the sustainability of our environment and our economy. At RA, they have created a team dedicated to pushing boundaries and elevating the standards of their design impact. They are proud to achieve LEED ratings in many of their projects and to lead the way, like when they installed the first combined greywater/stormwater system in the City of Los Angeles.
