At RAD LAB, we’ve proven that great design knows no boundaries. Whether we’re crafting a tropical retreat in the Virgin Islands, a hospitality destination in Texas, a modular restaurant in Hawaii, or a large-scale activation in California, we have the tools, expertise, and strategies to bring visionary architecture to life—no matter the location.
By leveraging video conferencing, strategic site visits, modular construction, and strict quality control procedures, we ensure that every project is delivered with precision, efficiency, and creativity. Here’s how we do it.
Principal Architect Philip Auchettl and Chief Creative Officer Jason Grauten always on call.
1. Video Conferencing: Seamless Collaboration, Anytime, Anywhere
Gone are the days when long-distance projects meant logistical headaches. Thanks to real-time video collaboration, screen sharing, and digital design tools, we work closely with clients no matter where they are.
✅ Instant Feedback & Iteration – Clients can review designs, walk through 3D models, and provide input from anywhere in the world.
✅ Faster Decision-Making – Quick virtual check-ins eliminate delays and streamline approvals.
✅ Less Travel, More Efficiency – Video meetings save time and resources while keeping communication fluid and personal.
Wherever you are, we bring the design process to you.

2. Strategic Site Visits: Precision When It Matters Most
While much of the design process happens remotely, there’s no substitute for experiencing a site firsthand. That’s why we schedule key milestone visits to ensure every project stays on track and aligns with its environment.
📍Initial Site Analysis – Understanding terrain, climate, and views before the first sketch.
📍Structural & Construction Milestones – Ensuring materials, foundation, and framing meet design intent.
📍Final Walkthroughs & Adjustments – Checking details, finishes, and quality before completion.
For projects like Saltwater Farms in Friday Harbor, we camped on-site to study light, wind flow, and topography firsthand, ensuring the cabins felt completely integrated with the land. In the Virgin Islands, we observed storm patterns to inform material choices. These insights are invaluable—allowing us to design spaces that enhance their surroundings rather than disrupt them.
3. Modular Construction: Faster, Smarter, More Sustainable
Modular design is redefining architecture, offering speed, efficiency, and sustainability—without sacrificing quality. For projects across the U.S., RAD LAB integrates modular solutions to streamline construction and ensure exceptional results.
🏗 Built Off-Site in Controlled Environments – This reduces weather-related delays and enhances precision.
🚛 Shipped & Assembled Anywhere – Components arrive ready for quick on-site installation.
🌱 More Sustainable & Cost-Effective – Less material waste, reduced carbon footprint, and optimized building efficiency.
Projects like Hotel Herringbone in Waco, TX, and Taco Bell in Michigan leverage modular elements to create functional, high-design spaces with faster build times and lower environmental impact.

4. Quality Control: Every Detail, Perfected
Distance doesn’t mean compromise. Our rigorous quality control process ensures that every design is built exactly as envisioned, no matter where it’s located.
✅ Digital Prototyping & VR Walkthroughs – Clients can “walk through” their project before construction even begins.
✅ On-Site Inspections & Reports – Milestone checks ensure contractors meet RAD LAB’s high standards.
✅ Material & Finish Selection Control – We source, test, and approve every detail to maintain consistency and excellence.
For our Virgin Islands retreat, this meant selecting storm-resistant materials that aligned with our design aesthetic while meeting the region’s environmental demands. In Texas, it meant ensuring modular units were built to withstand transport and installation without compromising on detail.
