Who We Are

Roark Design is an architecture practice that operates across commercial and franchise sectors, delivering environments that are built to perform. Design is driven by constraint, code, material behavior, and real operational demand.

Founded on the principle that architecture must serve both immediate use and long-term adaptability, Roark avoids default typologies and visual trends. Architecture is never meant to be separated from construction or context; it is part of the same puzzle. What results is work that carries weight in function, form, economy, and time.

To support this, we partner closely with SFV Services for construction and execution, ensuring that every design decision is grounded in real-world feasibility and executed with precision. For real estate strategy and location planning, we collaborate with New Market Real Estate Group, aligning site selection with architectural intent, operational needs, and long-term performance. These partnerships extend our ability to bring projects from concept to completion with clarity, speed, and reduced risk.

Each project type is supported by internal systems that streamline delivery, maintain quality, and minimize downstream risk. These systems are not generic workflows; they are tailored to the pace, precision, and demands of each sector. The firm builds frameworks that allow for complexity without losing control.

Process is central. Our team engages early with permitting, consultants, and construction partners to close the gap between design and execution. Visualizations, brand standards, and construction documentation are developed in parallel to reduce redundancy and misalignment. This approach enables us to deliver spaces that reflect strategic alignment, not personal taste. Clients rely on the firm to deliver precision under pressure, and that is the standard applied to every project.
