PROFILE: PERSONAL BACKGROUND
 

Rob Reno Photo Greetings; I’m an Architect practicing as a sole practitioner in Hopkinton, NH.  At this
stage in my vocation the majority of my work by inclination, is private-residential in scope and nature.  A little more than half is new custom homes, the other half being addition/alteration projects.  I’ve been involved in some aspect of residential construction or design since late adolescence, and a licensed Architect for a quarter century, since 1980.  Since then, although I’ve worked in different situations and capacities as an Architect (see VITAE), my personal proclivity has been toward a personalized approach to custom design of the private residential environment, ‘the home’.

I was raised and schooled in New Hampshire, and after high school graduation and undergraduate studies at the University of Oregon, spent several years working in the construction trades as a carpenter, prior to completing two professional degree programs in Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design in 1978. 

During the apprentice years prior to my first licensure I worked for several firms in New York City where I gained a diversity of experience before founding the Connecticut firm of Shope Reno Wharton (www.shoperenowharton.com) with two RISD classmates.  Several years later my wife and I migrated north to NH where I practiced architecture for several more years as a partner in the firm of McGowan Brook Reno in Concord.  Since the early nineties I’ve been practicing as a sole practitioner, focusing my attention on custom home design, mostly in rural New England settings. (The particulars of my professional background are listed in detail under the site link:  VITAE.)
