Robert Beach

Architect, engineer,
software developer.

Trained as an architect and grown into building science, data analytics, product design, and software development. My work asks how the discipline of software — its rigor, its modularity, its feedback loops — can improve how we design and build physical systems.

Currently at Rheia, where I architect the simulation engines, data pipelines, automated controls, and patented hardware behind a residential HVAC platform operating in 25,000+ homes. Before that: Situ Studio, the Guggenheim, Princeton, and a graduate degree in architecture from Pratt Institute.

Live in Phoenix with my wife, two boys, a dog, a cat, and a gecko — the gecko being the reason one of the projects on this site exists.
