Robert Ross,

AIA

Architect

A graduate of Georgia Tech, Robert has since put down deep roots living inside the perimeter, where he’s watched Atlanta transform into the urban center it is today. 

His architectural career began as a draftsman at Architectural Design Concepts in 1984 where he advanced to Vice President for Design by 1997. But he always felt the need to express his own concepts and designs, which culminated in the founding of Ross Design, Inc.

Believing strongly that you should practice what you preach, Robert has lived in the same home in the Ormewood Park neighborhood for almost three decades. And it’s here that he’s slowly evolved his home to match the changing needs of his family, while working to improve the community. 

When he’s not creating, you’ll find Robert in the garden where he’s transformed the landscape of his backyard into a lush parklike setting. And, while he does love a good walk on the Beltline, visit to a museum or live theater, his love of architectural design is never far from his mind, planning many family vacations around historical sites and tours.

Bharath earned his bachelor's degree in architecture from the National Institute of Technology, Bhopal in India in 2017. He then gained valuable experience working with a variety of architecture firms, contributing to projects ranging from airport master planning, F&B interiors, furniture design, to residential and multifamily residential projects.

With a strong belief in the transformative power of architecture, Bharath is dedicated to curating spaces that elevate the user experience.

Bharath approaches every task, regardless of its size or complexity, with a mindset focused on finding solutions and believes in the importance of teamwork and collaborative learning.

You'll often find Bharath sketching and brainstorming ideas on the drawing board, as he finds that the tactile process of pencil and paper helps him resolve details and generate new concepts effectively. He is particularly passionate about graphic design and presentation, always striving to make a powerful impression in order to do justice to the design and convey it in the most readable and impactful manner possible.

Outside of architecture, Bharath enjoys biking to work in any weather, indulging in photography and post-processing of photographs, and finding solace in cooking. He runs on his deep affection for coffee. Coming from a background of rich cultural exposure in India, Bharath values learning about different cultures and enjoys sharing his experiences with others.
