Associate Ray Reedy joined PYATOK in 2016, drawn to the office’s role in improving lives through socially and environmentally responsible architecture. He plays a leading role in the office’s Sustainability Committee, through which he pushes for more ambitious sustainable solutions and advancing a culture of prioritizing environmental sustainability.

In college, Ray spent a year abroad at the University of Botswana where he, among other things, learned about the challenges of international humanitarian design as a volunteer with Architecture for Humanity. During graduate studies at the University of Oregon, Ray developed an interest in collaborative community initiatives by leading design-build projects with students and community members. After relocating to the Bay Area, he also worked as a construction crew leader with Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco and as a designer in a design-build architecture studio. At PYATOK, Ray works at many phases and scales, currently leading the design of a mixed use mass timber project in the Mission District.

In his spare time, Ray trains for triathlons, designs and builds furniture, cooks, and enjoys the outdoors.
