TRA is the total design STUDIO
As summarized in the name “TRA”, latin for “in between, the edge and the link”, we believe that all aspects of architecture are interconnected, We love all aspects of design and manage everything “in between”.
TRA was founded by Caterina Roiatti, AIA, and Robert Traboscia, our studio expands the role of the architect across Development, Architecture, Preservation, Interior Design, FF&E Selection, Art Placement and Branded Environments. We quickly address the complexity and multiple areas of expertise that are often required within a single project and the unexpected issues that inevitably arise both during the design and the construction process. We have a proven record of improving the balance sheets and adding the most value to your property or development site.
We are generalists who are also experienced specialists, our firm combines interdisciplinary knowledge with focused expertise, we embrace technology but are very much hands on. We prioritize all projects regardless of size and context, finding the equilibrium between broad vision and details, uncovering opportunities for joyful, but pragmatic, interventions. With never ending curiosity we search for the enabling problem, our extraordinarily simple timeless solutions that are also forward thinking and unforgettably “TRA”.
At TRA, we have the best team who speak all languages of design and a wide network of close collaborators, but you can also feel confident that Caterina and Robert will be your trusted advisors an remain involved throughout the entire process.

SUSTAINABILTY PRACTICES
We strive to contribute to resolve society’s collective challenges, we continue to work to reduce carbon emissions and have signed the Architecture 2030 commitment.
Construction simulation through 3D modeling allows us to maintain full control of the detailing and methods, insuring that sustainability practices and tools can be followed throughout the construction process.
We offer you the tools to understand the reality of your project well before any work starts. With the use of BIM technology and AI tools, we are able to make a complete simulated digital version of a project, from steel to finishes, this lets you see the building, both on the exterior and the interior, well before ground is broken.
