Rand Soellner Across America 1, Asheville Architects
Communities Across America by Rand Soellner & Asheville Architects
Rand Soellner AIA is a member of the American Institute of Architects Asheville, North Carolina chapter. He is one of these Asheville architects. Soellner designs houses all over the United States and has designed other projects in other countries. The above map indicates some of home architects Soellner’s project locations across America. Fairview, just to the south of Asheville marks the location of one of Soellner’s residential projects on a hilltop overlooking the countryside.
Asheville Architects are not restricted to North Carolina for the design of homes.
Asheville architects and others are permitted to design houses in just about any state in the country, even though home architects have a higher standard of care than non-architects. Asheville architects have to know quite a bit more about residential design than most jurisdictions in the United States and around the world. This is because immediately to the west of Asheville are some of the most challenging mountains in the world: the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rand Soellner actually lives on a mountain top in these mountains, at an elevation of 3,580 feet above sea level, on an elevated bedrock rim across the valley from the tallest sheer granite cliff face in the eastern USA (Laurel Knob) in Cashiers, NC. He routinely designs houses in these mountains and knows how to handle these circumstances, no matter where they may exist in the world. This is one of the reasons why Soellner offers his services country-wide and worldwide: he designs for some of the toughest architectural conditions in the country and in the world, everyday, in his own backyard.

Kuwait
Kuwait City, Kuwait
themed resort architects
Rand Soellner worked for 2 months in Kuwait City, on assignment, creating a World-Class American-themed resort shopping mall on the Arabian Gulf.
Oasis
Themed shopping mall designed by Rand Soellner Architect while on site in Kuwait. Mr. Soellner’s expertise in themed “shoppertainment” facilities are sought after worldwide. On this particular project, Mr. Soellner led a team of international architects to create this unique facility. During Mr. Soellner’s tour of duty there, he mentioned that while getting a pizza from a Pizza Hut in downtown Kuwait, that there was no cheese on the pizza! “They favor Greek dishes in this Arabian community,” commented Soellner, “which is very tasty.”
This project was a huge themed shopping mall, about 100 meters x about 300 meters, right across the main highway from the Arabian Gulf. Mr. Soellner’s architectural idea was to capture the beautiful green waves of the waters of the Gulf within the facade of the building, using a special green reflective glass arranged in huge waves on the building’s elevations. Large sand-colored concrete towers anchor the building mass, recalling the large sea-going vessels one can see riding on the Gulf daily, going past the city.
