SRA Newest Family Member
SRA is excited to introduce the newest member to their team, Abygail Doud.
Abygail Studied architecture at Marywood University in Scranton, PA where she graduated with her Professional Bachelor of Architecture. While attending school, she played DIII collegiate tennis for 3 years, having her senior season cut short this past March after returning from an injury. |
Growing up Abygail always had a passion for design. She started with coloring on the walls (being sure to sign her name), to recently helping design her parents dream home. She has put her mark on just about any design she comes across. In the summers leading up to her senior year, Abygail worked with a local landscape architecture firm along with a residential design build. Enjoying both experiences.
Abygail is excited about her future with SRA-Syvertsen Rigosu Architects and looks forward to one day earning her architectural license; following in her grandfather’s footsteps.
Graduating in the middle of a pandemic, her hopes of traveling back to some of her favorite countries was put on hold, but she looks forward to being able to travel again in the future. Until then, Abygail enjoys staying active and her weekly TJ-Maxx shopping trips along with using her eye for design when and wherever possible.

His senior year at UMass he was offered a position as lead designer, performing the digital reconstruction of St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome, Italy. He spent 4 years under Nicola Camerlenghi modeling the pre-existing conditions of the Basilica which lead to the publication “St. Paul’s Outside the Walls” as well as a website providing virtual interaction for the public.

SIS Is Expanding One More Time
SRA Launches the New Logo
SRA is very proud to announce the launch of the new firm logo as part of the ongoing evolution of our company.
Our business has evolved over the years, and we felt it was time to refresh our logo to reflect who we are today and to symbolize our future. We designed a logo that reflects a more modern look and captures our mission to deliver excellent quality, performance, and service support across the projects we participate in. In our name, the 'S' stands for "Syvertsen," Kenneth, Founder of the firm in 1998, the 'R' stands for "Rigosu," Dennis, Partner of Kenneth since 2011, and the 'A' stands for architects. The design has a simple looking structure with a background of a navy-blue color for a more minimalist look. Taking this approach of re-branding to bring the design more in line with the aesthetics and portray flexibility. The use of the dark tangerine color for the letter A indicates the transition and improvement that we are focusing on. This implication is implied everywhere from our internal strategy to the delivery of our projects. We are also glad to introduce our business line "Innovative Solutions" to create a clear picture of our vision and identifies the core focus of our firm to find solutions to all of the problems to become both a pleasing aesthetic and functional. |
