RACHEL SHILLANDER, R.A AIA
Rachel Shillander is an artist, architect, and builder with over 15 years of experience spanning multiple disciplines within the design and construction industry. Primarily focused on residential architecture, Rachel’s work transcends traditional styles—her designs are deeply influenced by the unique characteristics of each project’s location, the needs and personality of her clients, and the inherent qualities of the site itself.
Her approach embraces a wide range of aesthetics, allowing the environment to guide the design rather than adhere to one specific style. Preferring to work with natural, site-specific materials and integrated building systems, Rachel places a strong emphasis on responsible, ethical design. She believes that architecture should not only be functional but should also foster a deep emotional connection with the spaces we inhabit, transforming houses into homes.
Often described as Organic Post Modernism, Rachel’s work reflects her commitment to blending modern functionality with a sensitivity to both nature and human experience. Whether designing a new home or renovating an existing space, Rachel’s passion for thoughtful, holistic design results in environments that feel both timeless and contemporary.
