What our clients say

"As the Police Chief for a mid-sized community in Arizona I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Rachel Rosso on the design and construction of a 43,000 square foot police headquarters, with a budget of 23 million. They spent countless hours engaging my staff and me to get a clear vision of the facility we wanted. Once they had the information they needed, they went to work designing a facility that is one of the very best looking and most functional police facilities in the entire State. Getting a high quality facility in the end was what we had hoped for, but we ended up with more than we hoped for, and all within budget."

Terry S. Rozema 

Town Manager and former police chief for a Southern AZ community

“Michael and Rachel were such a great addition to our consultant team, immediately we saw an impact to our projects by getting them involved. We love how they view the projects from not only the architecture aspect but the ownership side by providing us insight on all levels. Certainly have been a value add to us!”
