About Us
Studio 343, formerly RPH Architecture, has served a diverse market portfolio including commercial, affordable housing and multifamily housing clients in the mid-Atlantic region since 1999.

Our Annapolis-based studio evolved from RPH’s impactful foundation and the very essence of what drives our team to be better people and better architects — work with good people, love the work that we do and do work that matters in the community.
