Our History in Palm Beach

Founded by Rafael Rodriguez and Raphael Saladrigas in 2015, Studio SR has pursued a simple yet ambitious goal: to create architecture that is as distinctive as the people and places it serves.

By blending vision, expertise, and innovation, we craft spaces that go beyond stylistic trends, delivering timeless solutions tailored to both client and site.

We have been fortunate to receive various Historic Preservation awards from the City of West Palm Beach and Design Awards from Palm Beach Florida. Work includes restoration work, new construction, Additions and renovations to existing buildings.

Our Philosophy

Building is a manifestation of human relationships with the earth, and we are endowed with unique trust, the stewardship of the land and the built environments for future generations.

We have a responsibility to design not only beautiful structures but design build structures that are safe, healthy, and beneficial to the public.
